In an interview with Major Garrett on Fox News last night, among many other things, Barack Hussein Obama indicated that regarding the upproar over the very controversial, hateful, rascists, and unAmerican statements of his long time pastor, menotr, and spiritual advisor, that Obama, upon learning of earlier statements:
"It was my judgement at the time that it was not as problematic.."
Also, yesterday, reveleations in the Rezko corruption trial, indicate that the Obama campaign is now revealing much larger donations through Rezko's efforts than previously stated. The Obama campaign also indicated that Barack had lapses of judgement in dealing with Rezko in those years.
Barack Hussein Obama, at the very best, is being revealed through these occurances as a candidate with very poor perception and judgement. And judgement is an issue he has raised as setting him apart from others.
Well, it is now clear that it does set him apart...but not in the way he had hoped.
His judgement is too poor to lead...too poor to govern.
As to his long time (20 year) preacher, Reverend Wright, the Obama's chose this man. In Obama's book, he indicates that as an activist Obama looked into Trinity church and picked him. Then they stayed with him for all these years, having the pastor marry him, baptize his kids, become his spiritual advisor, and his mentor, and even having him on his religion committee for his campaign.
It is simply not credible to consider that Obama did not really know what this man represented or said...that this man's signature social leanings, very apparent in many many of his sermons were never heard or unknown to Barack Hussein Obama and his wife.
In the following days, because of Obama's statements last night on national news that he had never heard them in the pew, and been unaware of these virulent sermons, that significant research will occur to determine if that is in fact the case.
It will not be surprising after 20 years of attendance, to find documented proof that Obama did in fact hear these things in sermons he attended and was aware of these hateful, disgusting views...for example when he cancelled Reverend Wright's planned public prayer at the onset of Obama's campaign. Why did he cancel that prayer at that time...the day before?
Quotes from Wright himself at the time indicate it was in fact because Obama was fully aware of Wright's controversial and bombastic, hateful statements.
On a final note, for Obama to refer to Wright as an Uncle is another non-starter. Senator Obama...you cannot chose your Uncles. They are a presult of birth. But you do chose your pastor, the man who marries you, the man who baptises your children...and you choose to continue going there and listening for twenty years.
There is no doubt that you knew what he represented and you either thought it would not matter, or hoped it would stay below the event horizon.
Well, perhaps after 20 years of hearing this man's hate American mantra, it better explains your wife's statement of it being the first time in her adult life she was proud of America with your campaign...and your own view of patriotism with not wearing aa US flag on your lapel or being willing to salute the flag while standing on that stage with your fellow candidates several months ago.
What about Barack Hussein Obama's close ties to one of the founders of the Weathermen underground. A self-admitted bomber and domestic terroris, who after 911 indicated that his only regret was not bombing more? A man the Obama campaign says Barack Hussein Obama says it has a frienldy relationship with.
Is that the judgement we want in our President?
...or is that the kind of change and hope Obama intends to bring?
FYI...my commentary.
Rezko,Wright,Weatherman..dont be looken to good for dis bro
From another article
“Born to a Kenyan father and a mother from Kansas, Obama’s favourite book as a teenager was Malcolm X’s autobiography ...”
If you believe these answers Obama gave about his pastor, I have ocean front property to sell you in Omaha
I believe all of this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Exactly...and the revcerand Wright quotes from and uses the same rhetoric as Malcolm X.
Hillary must be salivating over this...
Now we know why Obama refuses to wear an American flag on his lapel.
Clinton's presidential ambitions were given life support with this revelation.
Well, the IL media & IL ‘Rat party were successful in keeping this issue unknown to the Caucasian IL constituency for the past 20 years!
Like I heard another person say...it’s like buying season tickets to the White Sox for twenty years and attending most of the games, cheering them on...and then saying at the end that you were never really a fan.
The Rev’s camments aren’t just a few plucked form rare diatribes. I suspect these are common themes that would have been known and pretty much accepted by all the congregants. I also suspect this type of rhetoric is common in a large number of black churches.
Thanks you so much for sharing your insights!
But the truth is the truth...Obama represents and is a candidate for the most virulent, anti-American far left element in our society. He comes from it...has been embedded in it.
I pray you are right...but there are so many awe struck moonbats and hardcore leftists...that I fear he will continue with the MSM's blessings (after a very short, toke, critical analysis).
We need to keep this front and center. The man is an enemy to this nation..
Two Zebras(mulattos) trying to out black each other assumes the rididulous..
Spell check is our friend
Perhaps after Hitlery stops salivating over this issue with Barak HUSSEIN Obama, just MAYBE someone will give some equal press time to her work for the Black Panthers, and even (dare I suggest) WHite water/FBI files/Arkancided “friends”......the list goes on and on.........
Obama’s political demise is too easy IMO. We are ignoring the real threat to America ! HILLARY !
Conservatives can beat Obama with one hand tied behind our backs when such as his wife and pastor are allowed to speak .
I fear the Hildebeast !
