From Obama’s speech in San Francisco:
"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them," he said.
"And it's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations,"

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: ; 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'
From Obama’s Dreams of My Father:
I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela.'

Maybe because "profilers" would have said he was the enemy since it appears that we are at war with "all" Muslims. Oh yeah except the women in vails. We like them right? We're at war so the women in Afghanistan can have their bust out like American women right? Oh you thought it was to catch Osama Bin Laden. Remember him?
Our last chance to have a President that will talk to the people not a them..
A president that people can look down at or look up to but a President that talks straight..
If all of us who condemn this man; the Clinton shills who work for Rove, disinfo agents, and white supremacist, the right the left blacks hisp@anics asians whites etc. All of us Americans sit back and realize that criminals have operated inside the whitehouse for centuries in a bid for disunity.
Obama is change & unity

U r right, but there in NO evidence that the Pastor was preaching hate for 20 yrs. Remember Pastor Wright put his life on the line for this country as an ex-Marine;he was ready to die for America,I don't think he is anti -american or racist , they just put a few seconds of his 36yrs of preaching to make him look bad. A first impression is a lasting impression, I think it is fair to review the Pastor's life and messages of those years before calling him racist or anti-american
