Oh boy, ANOTHER born-again Christian. Like Bush, they believe they have some divine inspiration to lead. But we can''t afford ANOTHER bible-thumper that uses spiritual rather than reality for decision-making. Bush plowed mucho bucks into faith-based institutions. How''s that been working out for the average taxpayer? Obama will be no better with Rev Wright as his inspirational mentor. Such hypocrites to use God to get elected. What fools the voters are to believe them.

AT THIS POINT OBAMA IS PLAYING A GAME TO WIN, AFTER THAT, HE WILL FAIL- AND WILL NOT HAVE ENOUGH EXPERIANCE OR QUALIFICATIONS TO BEAT A WAR HERO- & USA PATRIOT- MCCAIN- WHO HAS BEEN PROUD OF COUNTRY HIS WHOLE LIFE. HE IS A SUPPORTER OF A WAR THAT KEEPS THIS COUNTRY OUT OF HARMS WAY OF TERRORISTS. MCCAINS WIFE HAS DONE TREMENDOUS THINGS FOR THIS COUNTRY- OBAMA''S WIFE HAS NOT. THE ''AUDACITY'' OF AMERICA TO THINK OBAMA IS THE ONE TO PICK ARE SADLY MISTAKEN. CLINTON IS TOAST, TRUE, BUT OBAMA IS TOAST, TOO.

Just admit it Obama, you share his views. I know you see America as gullible, but seriously, we aren''t. We''ll respect you more if you just admit it...nah we still won''t respect you.

Rev Wright has stirred the racial pot and Obama''s race speech didn''t pacify everyone. If some idiot decides to assinate Obama... are the race riots of the sixties going to begin again?

How many more attempts to explain away Mr. Obama''s association with his racist pastor are we going to have to read? Each one gets longer and more involved. Sometimes the truth is simple.

It is regrettable that we as a nation, are more bitter, angrier, and more divided, as the result of the actions and apparent intentions of Obama and his mentors.

There is no way that this young, overambitious politician Obama, can remedy the situation, other than attempting to fool us into falling for his rhetoric and empty promises.

Obama unite America? We''ll be lucky if the effects of his running for President doesn''t prompt us into worse racial, social, and political division, and polarization since One Hundred Forty Seven years ago!

The problem with Obama''s spin or rationalization is there are many other churches in the southside chicago area that do as good or better social work than his church. It was a flawed judgment call when balancing explosive and divisive speeches with social work done elsewhere. As a leader, that he considered himself to be, he did nothing to the divisive rantings by his pastor.

After leaving the service of his country, the young African-American finished college, entered the seminary, was ordained as a minister, and eventually became pastor of a large church in one of America''''s biggest cities.
This man is Rev. Jeremiah Wright.jimmb4

Well something went wrong with him, he lost his mind or something.
