Obama's Response to Wright: Time for a Post-Racial America

Just read his books, and look at his record to understand who he truly is. Watch his speech from the 2004 Democratic Convention. None of the other politicians talk about unity because they benefit from a divided America. There has a not been a leader who has asked us to come together as a country in a long time. Don't waste this opportunity for change in America, for our sake and for future generations in this beautiful diverse land of ours.

Nothing Obama can say or do will fix the damage done to his reputation now that such an intimate and important influence on his life and his belief systems has been revealed as a loathsome racist who hates america so passionately.

If the dems are stupid enough now to nominate him, they will lose the election by a larger margin than has ever happened before in the history of our country.

The irony is pretty thick. Never before has the US been as ready to support a black man. But he blew it.

"Never before has the US been as ready to support a black man". No thanks to boneheads like you has it taken this long. Don't be thick. Jerry Falwell, Billy Graham, Pat Robertson are all in the same boat as Jeremiah Wright, but I have never heard of their Republican supporters being crucified as much as you.

Did this turn out to be a massive load of shit, or what?

[pepsiwatersugar]

Obama is "post racial",but I don`t think that Michelle Obama is "post racial"!

[jkaxe]

You are aware that Obama did not write the book? He's pretty much a piece of shit. Who is apparently afraid of nominating white people.

It's just about having basic respect. Due to history and contemporary issue racism is here to stay. How many other president have you known to have assassination attempts on them before they got elected?

[hellotommy]

No we can't mention his middle name.

No we can't win the war in Iraq.

No we can't expand oil exploration, drilling or refining.

No we can't build nuclear power plants.

No we can't stop Iran from building nuclear weapons.

No we can't employ terrorist profiling techniques at airports.

No we can't tolerate free speech on talk radio

No we can't reduce government spending, waste and corruption

No we can't allow medical professionals and their patients to control the healthcare system.

women were property to male relatives,unable to own property and later unable to work or vote. - keep your eye on the complete facts. The guilt by association between wreight and Obama, is a good example of poor timing . I give Obama the benifit of the dought, that this Rev. used Obama's status to gain attention to himself. Obama respectfully disassociated himself in public. I can respect Obama for the way he did it.

If I were planning on voting for Obama, I wouldn't let Rev. Wright's opportunist speech stop me. I also beleive that most of Americans are not racist. I am really proud that our country has a black man and a white female running for president! Don't let anyone's ignorance deter your vote. Let's not lose sight of the fact that not so long ago, women were not allowed to vote, regardless of their color. Women make your vote count!!!

The only way America can move forward is if we get rid of racism completely, which i doubt will ever happen. if not then America will stay divided.

i'm not supporting obama as much as the next person on this message board, i really don't know who i support in this presidential race. at least we do have the choice though, if you dont like him, dont vote for him

[TechsasT]

Yes, sure. Totally ignore that Obama calls this man his mentor and hired him on his campaign team and has been VERY close to him for about 20 years. MUCH different than just being in a church where the preecher is anti-gay. The country isn't over 70% gay, BTW. But it IS well over 70 percent of primarily European heritage.
