I know that there are people out there who are willing to define Barack Obama by a few clips (out of his pastors 30+ years of sermons), but today
Obama Is the America That I Know!

Obama didn't do what most politicians would. He didn't denounce what happened and then run as far away from the issue. Instead he faced the issue of race head on and spoke straight from his heart.

  • He only did this AFTER he was busted. Two days OBAMA LIED and said he never heard Rev. Wright speak these words, then today he says he did. Obama is a LIAR.

  • He denounced the clips last year when he FIRST heard them. Referring to the SPECIFIC SERMONS that have been plastered all over the place, he did not hear Mr. Write speak these words and was not present when the sermons where being given. He may have heard other things on other occasions that made him uncomfortable but I doubt they were to the degree as the clips that we have seen. If they were I'm sure those sermons would have already made their way to Fox news. This is old school politics..

  • This is what it boils down to. EITHER STAND NEXT TO OBAMA AND AMERICA AS WE REBUILD/REFORM OUR COUNTRY TO MAKE IT BETTER FOR US ALL; OR STAND ASIDE AND WATCH AS WE DO IT WITHOUT YOU.

  • These post do not seem to be working any longer.

  • In Obama's latest speech he shows his own black bias (some may call it bigotry) in this speech when he says that when his white grandmother made a racial remark about some black man "it made me cringe" But never in this statement of his or any other statement he has made can you find him saying that some of the statements his pastor made about white people ever made him cringe. How then is he going to be able to pull the country together when he is such a separatist himself?

  • He has explained why now. He said when he first heard them his reverend was on the brink of retirement. He didn't think it was necessary to bring the negative attention to his church. By the way his church is selling the videos in their full contexts not pieced together in radical sound-bytes. I recommend watching a few Trinity services on line at streamingfaith dot com, then make your own judgement instead buying into the political propaganda.

  • As always, a well written, impeccably delivered speech by Obama. I'm still left wondering, why not until now?

    After a 20 year relationship with Wright, Obama is asked about Wright's teachings and he first demurs "I wasn't in the pew when he made those statements - if I had been, I would have disagreed", then pressed by outrage at the video footage he admits some knowledge of the comments.

    The thing is, Obama's church was advertising and selling these videos. They were proud of them.
