As the race and religion debate continues to swirl around him, Senator Barack Obama is having trouble keeping his story straight. His close relationship with his self-described spiritual advisor, Jeremiah Wright, has become a lightning rod for criticism and condemnation by people across the political spectrum. His association with the David Duke of the black religious community is causing Obama to attempt to excuse the inexcusable and justify the unjustifiable while contradicting himself in the process.
On My Faith and My Church
“The statements that Rev. Wright made that are the cause of this controversy were not statements I personally heard him preach while I sat in the pews of Trinity or heard him utter in private conversation. When these statements first came to my attention, it was at the beginning of my presidential campaign. I made it clear at the time that I strongly condemned his comments. But because Rev.

I promptly labeled this the “ignorant boob” defense. The “I didn’t know nothin’ “argument lasted about four days to be followed by the “everyone’s racist, throw Grandma under the bus, I knew about it all along but that’s ok” defense...

That bitterness and anger can be likened to rocking in a rocking chair; It gives you something to do but it will get you nowhere. The wound only heals if you apply the balm of forgiveness and don’t keep picking at the scab.
I agree. You can remove anyone. No matter what they say. I am not voting for one incumbent in the State of Texas.
If the church has such a deep commitment to Africa, a non-negotiable commitment, I could make a suggestion about a course of action, but it would be considered racist, so I won't.
On the other hand, only one known associate of Barack Obama has been indicted, so his record is comparatively clean.
Of course, that could be because Patrick Fitzgerald spent so much time indicting Scooter Libby for lying about a crime that was not committed, that he hasn't had time to nab any more Chicago locals.
He was caught hating Whitey. If this racist is elected, America will need a collective head examination.
“It increasingly appears that mere eloquence may be all it takes for one to find one’s way to the white house.”
Americans were stupid enough to let Billy Boy (the former Mr. No-Pants President) razzle dazzle them TWICE, so why not give BHO a chance!
