"Kevin" complains about Obama's dishonesty, and then declares himself a supporter of Clinton - who has even more of a reputation for fabrication. This seems sort of like saying "I hate Chirac, he's such a socialist. Vive Mitterand!"

Wright and Farrakahn.(not to mention Rezko) raising young kids in a hate-filled organization and gave them $20,000 (that we know of), which would have done much better given to the hurrican Katrina victims or 9/11 survivors. Either Obama’s judgement is about as sharp as a bowling ball, and is NOT qualified to be president. PERIOD! Or else he is lying. Either of which means He is just plain a phony! Hillary gets my vote, and my family's vote. Everyone knows NOW that he was lying about Rev. Wright and Farrakahn.(not to mention Rezko)

She is not credible and she and her husband will do anything to win. Look how they have been moving the goalpost! Casey is a moderate democrat with many conservative values and his endorsement should boost Obama with Catholics and whites. Hillary is destroying the Democrats chance to win in november.

Since we are straying off topic, I just wanted to highlight how closed minded many people are. Do you really think that politics can be so easily divided into Democrat or Republican, Liberal or Conservative, etc. Obviously you are falling victim to one of the oldest tricks in the book. This is an illusion of choice. The big money tells you which card to pick in their hand while the rest of the deck remains unnoticed by the corporate controlled media.

He's been a preacher for over 20 yrs that is being summed in a 30 sec snippet How about this, Bill Clinton was a great president for 8 years is it ok to cancell all his achievements because he once lied under oath and cheated his family? has any one listened to Wrights entire summons If he is such a hate monger, why did Bill Clinton invite him to the whitehouse? why isn't anyone questioning Pastor John Hagee's endorsement of Mc Cain. He has been uttering outrageous hate sentiments against Islam a church is a conregation not a preacher, i may disagree with the preacher sometimes but does'nt mean that i will defect from the church. a church is a fellowship alot of older white people attended churches that preached inequality, but they picked out the good out of the summons and built their relationship with God and the members and some even became human rights activists you are not obligated to always agree with your pastor some pastors preach against gays,or gender inequalities does it mean that if you do not disagree you have to leave the church? does that mean that we will never have leaders who advocate for equality from such congregations. lets not loose an opportunity for change vote Obama Rev Wright’s story is a gross misportrayal.
