Comments on: Obama says it’s “fair game” for Clinton to mention his pastor

Hillary and Bill had no problem with the pastor at the congressional dinner while Bill was shaking the pastor’s hand.Bill even confessed his sin for the lust for the young. Apparently, after Hillary realized that Obama actually had potential to ‘win’, she immediately turned into the exorcist. Loss all train of thought, so did Bill and went blatantly beserk. High risk alert would ring off with a person of that caliber handling my affairs not alone the affairs of the American people should a crisis arise.

I love Obama’s ability to accept the good with the bad and vice versa, then move right along. Time is too crucial to allow an unimportant matter to inherit to much of your needed time. There are big issues that Obama has been anticipating in the midst of the lies, cries, toilet seats and the like from Clinton. Good he spent as less time as possible to accommodate those issues. We really need concerns relating to tax-cuts, healthcare, the NAFTA affairs and the likes on the table. Then too, we need Hillary to step aside, so that Obama can prepare for the upcoming debates with McCain. Stop giving McCain the artillery to work with Hillary, he claims to be a war vet. Let him have his fair shot. Hillary needs to stop crippling the democratic party and stop wasting the tax payers money. How she expect to help the economy, when she is steadily wasting people’s hard earned dollars now. True, the campaige has been a bit nasty, that’s politics at it’s best. But between two in the same party that’s a bit wacky. Despite it all, my feet is still anchored on the ground with Obama as the man. Hillary is just not presidential material.

I wasn’t going to say anything but, I can’t take it anymore. In reference to Rev. Wright…..I have known about him for years, have been hearing his tapes since the 80’s I’m black. Have been to his racially charged church several times….I know SEVERAL Pastors that fly to Chicago to hear Wright preach on a regular basis…Use some of the SAME exact jargon in their services as Wright. Jeremiah Wright has NEVER had a problem telling you how he felt BELIEVE ME! Did I agree with him no. Personally I don’t think the church is for your political venting. But, I’m not going to sit here and say what he said he didn’t mean because that’s a lie, I know for a fact it is. Obama ought to be ashamed of himself the man has been speaking a STRONG political message for years. None of this is new,

Thank you, George. I agree with your points wholeheartedly. I am SICK of hearing folks refer to Pastor Wright as racist! He has a right to express and have his own opinion. He lived thru the Civil Rights Era! Put yourself in his shoes…if you had the same experiences, you may feel differently too. It does not make him un-American. It’s okay for Obama to be associated with him without agreeing with all of his views. Let’s get real!

It is also fair to remind voters that Clinton’s own pastor has defended Rev. Wright and the National Council of Churches is rallying around Trinity. By November enough people will have viewed the complete sermons on YouTube or just plain be fed up with the whole thing. This issue will be of no value for Republicans and Rush and Sean will look like the boobs they really are if they continue beating this dead horse.

How can someone be “un-american?” This country is all about diversity of thought and opinion. Some one can be “anti-govenment” or any number of other “anti” or “un” things, but they cannot be “un-american” because that is the spirit of this country–to speak your mind whether or not it is popular and well received or spiteful and ill received. You may not agree with what the Rev. had to say, but you have to respect his right to say it. That’s what this country is about. To call him “un-american” just displays your own ignorance about what it means to be american.

Give me proof that what he said was racist and I’ll concede your point. This is a man who fights for people’s liberties for christ’s sake! He stands up for what he believes in, the same way MLK did! How is he a racist? Because he said this country is still racist? I don’t recall him calling out any particular race. Where are you getting your facts from? Don Imus on the other hand, did call out a particular race. Of course what Imus’ said wasn’t that bad and was blown up by the media, but its no different then what is going on right now with Wright! I am hoping you were being sarcastic when you say the biggest issue is that he backstabbed the Clinton’s. Let us not forget that it’s the Clinton’s who are backstabbing America.

Now, please, provide me the documentation that shows Wright being racist towards whites and Italians. Please!

Amazing. Someone just used KKK, white supremacists and black church in the same sentence. As if all black churches were bastions of bigotry and hatred. How ignorant and insulting.

I find it interesting that Jeremiah Wright has served more time serving his country in the military than most of the people who try to call his patriotism in to question.
