Comments directed to Obama from Roland S. Martin, nationally award-winning journalist and CNN contributor: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/04/30/roland.martin/?iref=mpstoryview

%u201CTell them flat out that Wright will not keep their homes from foreclosure.

Tell them that Wright has absolutely nothing to do with gas prices doubling under the presidency of George W. Bush.

Make the case that he (McCain)might be a good guy, but he''s more concerned about the tax bracket of his wife (she''s worth in excess of $100 million) than the middle- class voters...

The war still matters. I''m watching Lanny Davis, a big-time Clinton surrogate on "Larry King Live," challenge Obama''s judgment on attending Wright''s Chicago church for 20 years. Obama must re-engage the electorate and say that the judgment of Clinton and McCain has led to a war that has cost us 4,000 lives and billions of dollars.

Don''t let voters forget for a second that the wrong choice was made by your opponents.%u201D

Karl Rove has to be laughing his head off at Democrats using the same strategy of fear and division against ourselves that he first used against us. My God, are we that freaking stupid?

In his speech on race, Barack Obama showed loyalty to a pastor and friend when it would have been politically expedient for him to %u201Cthrow him under the bus%u201D immediately. He demonstrated forbearance until he had no choice when things got out of hand. I wonder if those who question Obama%u2019s judgment in remaining in his congregation have agreed with everything they%u2019ve heard their pastor say over the past 20 years? If not, did they leave the church and join another? Did they then agree with everything their new pastor said? Last year, Sen. McCain announced that he was mourning the loss of the recently departed Rev. Jerry Falwell as "a man of distinguished accomplishment." That is the same Jerry Falwell who said just two days after 9/11 that he was pointing his finger in the face of pagans, abortionists, *** and lesbians, the ACLU, and People for the American Way for helping to make the Sept. 11 attacks happen. I won%u2019t even go into Sen. McCain%u2019s seeking Pastor Hagee%u2019s endorsement and the Senator%u2019s rationale for not renouncing that endorsement. McCain is at the top of his game right now. Believe me, it won%u2019t last.

This LIB rag would praise Hitler if he was a Democrat.
