C'mon Obama, we weren't born yesterday
 
"He helped bring me to Jesus and helped bring me to church. He and I have a relationship -- he's like an uncle who talked to me, not about political things and social views, but faith and God and family."

"The statements that Rev. Wright made that are the cause of this controversy were not statements I personally heard him preach while I sat in the pews of Trinity or heard him utter in private conversation."

Obama must take us for a bunch of rubes.

Ummm..... ok. If you say so, Barack.

He must have slept through all the political preaching.

How long has he known this bigot? Ten plus years? Sure, politics never came up. Yet the bigot is the first person he thanks after being elected to the Senate.

Puts his wife's statements into perspective.

I think this kills Obama's GE chances because this will not go away. Rasmussen said this morning that his negatives are up to 49%. That's Hillary level.

I actually wonder if Wright and Ferraro aren't using their favorite candidates to try to forward their own personal political agendas. It's certainly clear they each have very passionate feelings about certain issues.

Regarding Obama, it's odd that someone running a campaign around a record of judgment/discretion couldn't possibly have chosen a church with more political liability.

Did you see that Obama is also suggesting he and Hillary just split the FL and MI delegates 50/50. He does realize that that's the same as not seating the delegates at all, right?

Is his pastor completely wrong when he says our nation is controlled by rich white people?

I agree 100% and Obama has nobody but himself to blame for associating with a bigoted hate monger.

On a bright note, I have to admit I love this. Dems look as if they'll blow it again.

Um, that's about the least offensive of his remarks.

If that was the only thing he said, he wouldn't be a bigot.

Sooner, are you trying to justify the Reverend Wright's hate?
