Obama is just trying to play his cards right and deceive the American people, I know and so should everyone else know that what obama is now starting to say is contradicting to what he was just standing by last week in his speech, And let us not forget rev wright retired a few years ago and obama was still turning to rev wright for leadership, so him
talking about "he would have left the church if rev wright hadn''t retired" is a ball faced lie. He said he wouldnt have felt comfortable staying in the church if he knew certain things would be offensive to americans but he did know and he did stay in that church, He knew what was going on in the church and refused to put wright on his campiagn for that reason alone, and we the american people that truely love our country are still waiting for obama to say GOD BLESS AMERICA
sorry those anti american remarks stay in my head and now i dont think anything he says can make me change my mind about him i will not believe him, i think it was foolish for hi to stay in that church and i bet obama still has rev wright on speed dial asking him what he shold say next to the american ppl to help make this matter go away - Reply to this comment

again this is why obama is just words, he stated
Had the reverend not retired, and had he not acknowledged that what he had said had deeply offended people and were inappropriate and Mischaracterized what I believe is the greatness of this country, for all its flaws, then I wouldn''t have felt comfortable staying at the church," Obama said Thursday during a taping of the ABC talk show, "The View." The interview will be broadcast Friday. but if this was so true then why did obama and rev wright have the talk that obama would have to stray away from his long time religious leader because of certain controversial things might come to light during his campaign, - Reply to this comment

Obama said he could not denounce his pastor and he has been loyal to him, and has stayed in the church for 20 years, His famous speech made headlines all over the world bringing up the issues of race and the most he was able to say about rev wright was he didn''t agree with what he said on some things, well now that his campaign has taken a hard hit he decided to change his outlook on rev wright, - Reply to this comment
- Barack Obama should absolutely be held responsible for Rev. Wright%u2019s comments. This is not an endorsement from a minister he barely knows.
Those who brush this off are obviously not Jewish and it''s ok for Obama to have set there for 20 years and listened to this racist propaganda?
It''s not ok.
This shows moral judgment.
Oprah left that church after hearing this garbage and took a high moral road.
Obama was caught in a lie regarding all this.
First, he said he had never heard these sermons, then admitted he had & he sat silent!
He points his finger at Clinton for her war vote, claiming she showed bad judgment. Yet, he continued showing bad judgment for 20 years.
History has taught us you do indeed have to have the courage to stand for what is right.
Recall the saying "When they came to get the Jews I said nothing, when they came to get the Poles. When they came to get the homosexuals, the teachers, the intellectuals, the gypsies, I said nothing.
When they came to get me I realized, I was the only one left.
It took tremendous courage for some in Germany those many years ago. They stood up for what they believed and paid a high price.
Obama, who I used to support, has shown he has caved in to pressure from his own group, even in the face of terrible wrong.
Obama is a moral coward and we are fools if we put him in the White House. - Reply to this comment

- ("Obama has a Jewish problem and McPeak''s bigoted views are emblematic of what they are," wrote Robert Goldberg.)
It is not Mr. Obama that has the problem, it is those who call themselves Jews, and cannot separate the political entity known as Israel from the religion known as Judaism, and who cannot separate a second generation "Black" man running for president, from other "Black" people who are more vocal in their struggle against American apartheid, which their families have endured for at least 40 generations. - Reply to this comment
- "How is a country that regards the indigenous people as not deserving of equal rights not apartheid?"
Sorry for the typo. - Reply to this comment
- Other than the statement about the "ethnic bomb" that kills "blacks and Arabs", for which I have seen no evidence (unless he is speaking allegorically), the other statements listed in the article are accurate, can any one say they are not?
How is a country that regards the indigenous people equal rights not apartheid?
Israel and the US were supporters of the South African apartheid regime, it is well documented.
Marzook''s question is a legitimate one, anyone care to answer?
Also, the Pastor''s quotation marks around the word "state", implies he questions the legitimacy of a nation that does violate accepted human rights conventions, which is his, and anyone''s right. - Reply to this comment

- I would post the emails back and for with this Texas church today however there is a disclaimer at the bottom. Basically and I cant share them with anyone. But I will say, I got the feeling that that church is much like TUCC.
