OBAMA SUPPORT FOR AFRICA OR AMERICA First.
Just kidding with you, I take your word for it. You are honest christian who went to wrights church for only 20 years.

We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.

Will Obama have a Value System for America. His church of 20 years did.

Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee chaired by Vallmer Jordan in 1981. We believe in the following 12 precepts and covenantal statements. These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect on the following concepts:

Commitment to God
Commitment to the Black Community
Commitment to the Black Family
Dedication to the Pursuit of Education
Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence
Adherence to the Black Work Ethic
Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect
Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness"
Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community
Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions
Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System
Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System.

You have it wrong woman. The Black Panther Party hasn''t endorsed Obama yet, but if they do, Don''t they have the same right as you to vote for the best candidate?

Senator Obama never voted for the war nor did he vote against the war in Iraq in 2003. The reason is simple. Obama, at that time, was not a seating U.S. senator. The initial vote on the war took place BEFORE Obama became a senator. Obama became a senator in January, 2005. Incidentally, Senator Obama%u2019s pastor, Mr. Wright seems to embrace a radical ideology and calls it Christianity. The question is simple. Why did Obama denounce him rather than disown him? Sadly, if elected president, Obama will bring his inflammatory, spiritual, %u201Cmentor%u201D into the White House.

The Obama campaign has told members of the press that Senator Obama was not in church on the day cited, July 22, because he had a speech he gave in Miami at 1:30 p.m%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026The writer of this story, (Jim Davis) says he attended several services at Senator Obama%u2019s church during the month of July, including July 22%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026..The church holds services three times every Sunday at 7:30 am%u2026%u2026%u2026.11:00 am and 6:00 pm, Central time%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026While both the early morning and evening service allowed Stnator Obama to attend the service and still give a speech in Miami, Mr. Davis stands by his story that during one of the services he attended during the month of July, Senator Obama was present and sat throuth the sermon given by Rev. Wright as described in the story%u2026. Mr. Davis said Secret Service were also present in the church during Senator Obama%u2019s attendance%u2026.Mr. Davis%u2019 story was first published on Newsmax on August 9, 2007%u2026%u2026..Shortly before publication, Mr. Davis contacted the press office of Senator Obama several times for comment about Senator Obama%u2019s attendance and Rev Wrights%u2019s racist comments during his sermon%u2026..Senator Obama as well as, the Senator%u2019s office declined to commentAl Sharpton is a FAKE, just as Obama is

Prices still disconnected from fundamentals. House prices are still much too high, far beyond any historically known relationship to rents or salaries. Yearly rents are 3% of purchase price. Mortgage rates are 6.5%, so it costs more than twice as much to borrow money to buy a house than it does to rent the same thing. Worse, total owner costs including taxes, maintenance, and insurance are about 9%, which is three times the cost of renting. Salaries cannot cover mortgages. A safe purchase is a maximum of 3 times the buyer''s yearly income, but most purchases are well beyond that. Anyone who buys now will suffer losses immediately, and for the next several years at least, as prices keep falling.

Yeah,and he inherited it from Nixon/Ford,remember that?Everytime the republicans get in,toward the end of the second term,they seem to have a "scorched earth" policy that leaves everything a shmbles for the next guy.Look back over the last hundred years.Very few have not left things in a mess.The depression was brought to you by,guess who,the republicans.Depression II has started,thanks to George Herbert Hoover Bush.

pt 1
"We do American business - and the American people - no favors when we turn a blind eye to excessive leverage and dangerous risks," Obama said.

Obama gets it, McCain doesn''t. The ''philosophical divide'' that the GOP keep trying to highlight presupposes an equal level of competence which in reality isn''t present.

Superior ability to optimize resources through accurate issue spotting and complex reasoning gives one greater ability to address more problems. Hence, Barack''s got a bunch of solutions, and McCain''s got rehashed Reagan soundbites with no reference to today''s reality.

pt 2

There''s actually greater big picture benefits to having the government intervene on behalf of homeowners because lending institutions with liquidity problems might actually be choosing foreclosure over refinancing in an attempt to ''game'' the system but cutting their losses and going after investments with higher returns. Conversely, some homeowners might also be ''gaming'' it and calculating that it would be more financially beneficial for them to foreclose rather than continue to make payments on a house with more debt than equity.

If government intervention helps hold players to their obligations, then it stabilizes the credit market. You never hear McCain even talk about the consequences of his platforms on this level . . .

Sorry but the NEOCON "REDS" already GOT us MISMANAGED into the kind of BRINKMANSHIP that just screams WW III with their arrogant cowboy NON-diplomacy.

After THAT kind of "DARWIN AWARD LEADERSHIP" NOTHING SCARES ME anymore.

I finally figured it out.

ALL this Rev Wright (who the last time I checked WASN''T RUNNING FOR OFFICE OR even CAMPAIGNING for that matter) BS by CON TOADYS is THEIR way of DIDDLING WHILE THE ECONOMY COLLAPSES.

Preachers are ENTERTAINERS and apparently the NEOCON TOADYS think THIS preacher is the NEW "BREAD AND CIRCUSES" way to DIVERT ATTENTION from the COLOSSAL MISMANAGEMENT by the NEOCON ELITE of our Nation.

REMEMBER NERO - DIVERTING and FIDDLING (hopefully NOT in public mens-rooms) is the NEOCON WAY.

Wow, Now the FAILING NEOCONS are pulling out the old "the REDS are gonna get ya" scare tactics from the McCarthy Era.

NERO-CONS are now REALLY desperately trying to feed the gullible BREAD AND CIRCUSES as fast and furious as they can While standing around with their McCains up their assets watching the ECONOMY BURN TO ASHES.

GWB SURE HELPED BIN LADEN carry out BIN LADEN''s goal of BANKRUPTING the US Economy.
HEY! Who''s side is he on anyway?

Oh Yeah - THE SAUDI OIL CARTEL and WAR PROFITEER LOOTERS SIDE.
