3. Since all "men of God" are obnoxious, I think we can deal with it.

9. In what way have any of you seen Obama representing the hate in Wrights speech?
Obama's actions have ALWAYS been diametrically opposed to the kind of speech by Wright you Clinton supporters are trying to pin on him.

10. What actions would you like?
Should Barack piss in the Rev. Wright's dead skull?

He denounced divisive language, and I think he adequately explained how and why he differs with Rev. Wright on the subject of race in America. Having done that, what are your expectations?

18. Seriously they just throw the word action out there for...?
What action? You must first believe and understand something before you could act. A president has to have good judgement.

What do they want Obama do? Run a lap everyday to tackle racism?

12. And then there's the McClurkin travesty.
I have no respect for a man who will let others insult a large group of people. I don't want that in a President, that's for certain.

Barack is all talk, but no action. I don't believe he will keep his promises, because he's just a politician. And his record of public service shows that he's not the fighter for the American people that we really need right now.

14. IMO...you need to direct YOUR thoughts and explanations to this:
Your POS candidate, Hillary, voted to give that lying SOB Bush all the power and approval he needed to invade Iraq...and yesterday in a speech she is talking about ending the war and what she has done to do this.

:puke:

15. If anything his speech today confirmed he is a liar and a typical politician.
How many times did he say on Friday he would have walked out or quit if he knew about the racist histrionics of Rev. Wright? Today he admits not only did he know, but he was there.

Liar.

22. In what sense did he lie?
He merely stated that he had heard his pastor say some controversial things in sermons. None of those controversial things were the ones being played ad nauseum over the weekend. You're judging a 20 year history of sermons based on 30 seconds of overheated rhetoric. Could you be any more disingenuous and stupid?

pink elephant in the room that nobody is talking about.

What is the history between her and Wright?

I have a pretty good idea.

I may very well take EVERYTHING Wright says as gospel.

16. Some People Wonder Why Hillary Is Still With Bill
so many women over so many years. I do not presume to know the reason, whether its love or power, Chelsea or what ever. This is a man who didn't have a male figure in his life, he latched on to Wright, and thinks of him as family.

Both candidates have their reasons for sticking with those who have betrayed them at one time or another.

19. i do not care if this reprobate gave a great speech or not, he lied
this speech is nothing more then to coverup the fact he lied about his asociation with the most high exalted racist pastor wright and his attendance in his sunday services.....AND

if a man will lie about something like that then what would he lie about that would really effect all americans,
let's hope he does not becomes president....

for every American soldier who has made the ultimate sacrifice for this mission, we should imagine carved in stone "they gave their life for the greatest gift one can give to a fellow human being, the gift of freedom."

23. Your comment's ironic considering you are attacking Wright because of his WORDS not his ACTIONS
And like many of those who are attacking him, probably haven't done any investigating of anything he has actually DONE.

So it's almost funny that now that Obama has addressed this controversy over Wright's words brilliantly, you dismiss his response as "just words."

Apparently your regard for the importance of words is colored by who says them.
