O JUST SAID ON LARRY KING HE DID TALK TO THE GOOD REV AND OBJECTED

[boston bean]

TO THE HATE SPEECH AND HATING AMERICA.

WTF, DOES HE KNOW HOW TO LET A STORY DIE, OBVIOUSLY NOT, HE ONLY KNOWS HOW TO LIE!

[Joe the Revelator]

1. Don't have a heart attack dude

[Skwmom]

73. He won't b/c he is pushing a LIE. Read the LK transcripts.

OBAMA said AFTER the comments came to light i the media he spoke with Wright and voided is disapproval.
__________________________-

KING: A couple of other things in that area. Have you have had any communication with the reverend since all of this?

OBAMA: Well, you know, I haven't. He was actually -- because, as I said, he preached his last sermon. He is on sabbatical. He went to take a cruise. He was not available by phone. You know, I had spoken to him earlier when some of these sermons first came to light.

I had spoken to him earlier and told him that, you know, I was uncomfortable and objected strongly to some of these statements. But that, you know, obviously he had played an important part in bringing me to my faith, and that I hoped our relationship would continue.

I haven't talked to him since that time. And I'm sure that, you know, he has a lot to think about, given the firestorm that has erupted over time. And you know, I suspect that I will talk to him at some point, to get his feelings on the issue.

KING: We'll take a look at the other side of the coin when we come back. Our guest is Senator Barack Obama of Illinois on this edition of LARRY KING LIVE. Don't go away.

[Mags]

2. your right, but it's much too late.

[boston bean]

7. He can't even get through a Larry King interview? He has lied again!

I can't fn believe it.

[roguevalley]

33. what? no caps? :)

[mac2]

41. Obama is such a "political star" he even believes his own

Lies. That's like Bush.

[barb162]

50. Maybe he thinks he's above it all, sort of like Leona Helmsley.

"Only little people pay taxes."

[Skwmom]

75. He is not right. Obama DID not lie. Read the LK transcripts

posted above

[mac2]

84. The biggest lie in my opinion as a constituent of Obama's

was his "terrorist speech" on CSPAN. He spread fear instead of being a "fearless leader". We all know Iraq did not attack us on 911. Fact is we still don't know for sure who did 911 since they won't allow the investigation or discussion.

One after the other of Congress get up and give this "terrorist fear" speech on the floor of Congress. Yet they won't impeach or answer the questions of 911 families. Why is that?

[Evergreen Emerald]

3. his changing stories are troublesome.

[jefferson_dem]

44. You're a hoot.

Did he ever say he didn't talk to the Revered about some of his statements which were found controversial.

[barb162]

53. Contradicting himself indicates he can't keep the lies straight.

NOT GOOD.

[SeattleGirl]

4. And he lied HOW?

:eyes:

[BlackVelvet04]

10. and how many rational people are going to believe

him when he waits this long to say it? Not many. If this were true he would have said so days ago.

[barb162]

55. Exactly.

[barb162]

58. NONE.

People are getting wise to him. Just like the Rezko stuff.

[IndianaJones]

5. meh, Larry is just a typical white person. nt.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

6. !

:spray:

[annie1]

16. damn whitey...

j/k. lol.

[laureloak]

32. And what is a "typical white person" pray tell?

[2rth2pwr]

71. ask Obama

[FARAFIELD]

8. You said he lied I say you are full of it

Where do you get off saying he lied, there is no such thing or proof of it, in fact your post doesnt pass the smell test

[boston bean]

11. omg

:rofl:

[Skwmom]

74. Read the transcripts. You are misrepresenting the truth.

[tammywammy]

9. ...

:eyes:

[Straight Shooter]

12. Now he'll get to explain their conversation.

Reverend said this, and I said that, and then the Reverend said this and then I said that.

David Axelrod is somewhere beating his head against a wall.

[boston bean]

14. did you see it, it was in a response to this question:

have you spoken to the rev since this broke. O hesitated, it looked like he was lying when he said no, and then he went into the bullshit and lied again!

[Straight Shooter]

17. I don't watch television.

And even if I did, I would never watch Larry King. :D

[barb162]

56. I have got to see this; I think they replay it later tonight!

Bwahahahaha. You know, if he's lying about this simple little stuff, what the hell can he be trusted about. He's losing all credibility (if he ever had any).

[Window]

13. WTF? WHY are YOU screaming???

[Barack_America]

15. You do realize, don't you that Rev. Wright's name has come up several times before.

Obama denounced some controversial statements a while ago.

That Obama talked to the Reverend about "some" statements does not mean that they were the statements that have been played over and over in the media. Obama said that he had not heard those particular statements and has said nothing to contradict this.

[boston bean]

18. he said in all of his interviews last week he would have confronted and would have walked out

if he heard them.

you guys have got to stop making excuses for him.

[Barack_America]

24. Right. And what evidence do you have that what he did hear and what he did...

...confront Rev. Wright about was as inflammatory as the statements that we have been hearing?

I'll wait. Deep down, I believe that you have at least a cursory understanding of logic.

[barb162]

57. Yes, he said that . Like he was really (REALLY) outraged .

IS there a video of him clapping in the audience at the AIDS or anti-American stuff? If so, he is very burnt toast.

[goclark]

31. Larry King is not a court of law and his hand did not even have

to be on a Bible.

Now somebody go and find that Passport file! :mad:

We don't need to worry about Rev. Wright, we need to stop playing games on this entire situation.

Wake up America,wake up!

Barack Obama is not the enemy,McCain is the enemy,don't get it twisted.
While the NeoCon News Media is digging deeper and deeper people are getting killed in Iraq,Cheney said "So" and the Chimp didn't have a clue about the price of gas.

And some people think they are judge and jury.

[CakeGrrl]

19. You must've missed the part of his race speech where

he already acknowledged that he was in the room when the Reverend said things with which he didn't agree.

He maintains that he wasn't there during the eternally looping "God Damn America" comments. No gotcha there.

[boston bean]

20. at first he heard nothing, can you remember back to last friday? nt

[Seeker30]

21. Its called a selective memory

[anamandujano]

35. It keeps getting jogged as new evidence surfaces.

Safe to say he can't even keep track of his lies.

[malik flavors]

26. The very first interview he did was with Olberman and he said he heard controversal stuff

Youtube it.

He just said he never heard those exact comments and he has never waivered on that.

So calm down and get your facts straight.

[Barack_America]

27. He didn't hear "nothing". He hadn't heard those particular statements.

And he has said nothing to contradict this.

Admitting that he has heard statements some might find controversial DOES NOT MEAN that he heard the statements we've been seeing on television.

Please at least attempt to use logic.

[mcctatas]

28. Oh come on...

this is so getting old...
Interview from Thursday March 13...

Q: I don't know if you've seen it, but it's all over the wire today (from an ABC News story), a statement that your pastor (the Rev. Jeremiah Wright of Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago's South Side) made in a sermon in 2003 that instead of singing "God Bless America," black people should sing a song essentially saying "God Damn America."
A: I haven't seen the line. This is a pastor who is on the brink of retirement who in the past has made some controversial statements. I profoundly disagree with some of these statements.


http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/cityregion/s_557231.html

[barb162]

59. I sure can; you're right, he never heard anything like that last week.

[Lucinda]

22. Didn't he tell Anderson Cooper last night that it was sexual content he had heard?

[Skip Intro]

23. He's on both sides of so many issues. That's what happens when you try to be everything to everybody

he's a politician, saying and doing whatever he thinks it takes to win -

[npincus]

25. you Hilbots are hanging on to Wright like a branch in a hurricane

Just let go and blow away!

[rodeodance]

89. you missed the point of the OP---it came from BO's mouth

[Mz Pip]

29. Bummer

Don't bust a gut trying to paint Obama as a liar.

[anamandujano]

36. Just sit by and watch him paint himself, as he's been doing regularly.

[JVS]

30. Do you need a cigarette now or something?

please, no pics

[DaDooRonRon]

34. Wow, you Clinton folks seem quite upset

You should take a deep breath and count to, oh let's say 3988.

You know, the number of dead soldiers in the immoral war that Ms. Clinton approved of.

[RBInMaine]

46. Lying? Oh, you mean like on Hillary's CONFIRMED SUPPORT OF NAFTA???

[barb162]

67. She didn't approve of the war. Get your facts straight.

BTW, why does Obama approve of new appropriations on the Iraq War again?

[DaDooRonRon]

86. I don't support either candidate

I'm just stating facts.

Oh, and in Hillary-speak she didn't "approve" the war - she was "mis-lead."

I forgot.

[PaDem]

37. ah, I see someone else was listening to Hannity's radio show........

today. Beautiful. Well now I know you won't be voting for Obama if he's the nominee.

[RBInMaine]

45. OK HillFans, just give it up already, or is this all you've got. As for "lying," Hillary's a master

[mac2]

38. Did Larry King ask about important issues other than

Obama's religious leader?

Who cares about his religious leader? We should care about his policies and agenda to get us out of this mess.

I saw Obama on CNN tonight again. Why don't they just give him his own program? Just think of all the free air time when Kucinish and Edwards can't get a sentence out!

[mac2]

39. delete

[jbnow]

40. It would be funny that

people make a big deal of details they think they remember of what he said on this

Except over last days we have proof Clinton lied about her part in getting SCHIP passed that she has been campaigning on...they had to fight Clinton's to even get is signed.

She lied about supporting NAFTA in white house years. She's been campaigning saying Obama lied about her support because of a newspaper quote that had actually just paraphrased and telling people Obama misled about his position too when she knows he did not-
And she lied, she worked to get it passed!

Two of her main campaign stump bragging points and they are proven lies...

But oh my, maybe Obama is saying he said something when maybe he said he didn't earlier because you can read his mind...Cause that's what counts.

[frazzled]

42. He wrote about one such objection in his 1996 book

Obama's first book, Dreams from My Father, recounts an exchange he had with Wright over black middleclassness. A church secretary was planning a move to the suburbs so her son could have a better life. Wright's response was: "That boy of hers is gonna get out there and won't have a clue about where, or who, he is." Obama defended the secretary, suggesting that the boy would be safer outside the inner city. Wright replied, "Life's not safe for a black man in this country, Barack. Never has been. Probably never will be." Black flight, Wright seemed to be saying, is no better for those who flee than for those who are left behind.

http://www.christiancentury.org/article.lasso?id=3392

Actually, I would recommend reading the entire article at the link above. It's about Trinity--but written more than a year ago. It's very interesting, very balanced.

[RBInMaine]

43. He has ALREADY said SEVERAl times that he spoke to Wright about sermons and voiced objections. So,

where's the "lie". Guess you need you haven't been listening.

[barb162]

63. Did you miss it last week when he said he never heard Wright

say those things? He was never in the church when he said those things, etc.

[mac2]

83. Rev. Wright has a right to his opinions.

Obama can object and not attend that church. Facts are...Rev. Wright was right on about 911, etc. that's what Obama objects to most since he is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Rev. Wright should not be a member of the Obama campaign if he believes what he says. His spiritual group and other organizations are the place for that. He is not running for public office. Being a spiritual leader he could lose his tax free exemption.

[Zhade]

47. The only liar I see is you.

NT!

[GoldieAZ49]

48. LOL, thats why they call it political suicide

self inflicted

[barb162]

60. He deserves that his poll numbers are dropping.

[barb162]

49. Did he say WHEN he had that little chat with Wright?

Since until a week ago Obama said he NEVER heard Wright say anything trashing the US and all. Obama can't seem to keep his stories straight, can he?

[RBInMaine]

66. WRONG. He said he wasn't present during the echo-chambered YouTubes, but

that he has heard other statements that could be considered potentially controversial and HAS had conversations with Rev. Wright about concerns regarding certain views and statements. He IS being consistent doing the best to recall what has transpired. Let's cut a person a little slack here, especially when this is mainly just corporate right wing biased MSM-generated crap to try to crap on the Obama candidacy to get Hillary nominated because they think McCain will have a better chance of running against Hillary. This is media-created load of CRAP !

[barb162]

72. You're totally underestimating the damage Obama has done to himself.

Obama put this man on his campaign all the while calling himself Uniter. Obama's words and actions are dysfunctional, disconnected. The media is now on to this. He's actually been given a lot of slack up to about a week ago.

[Alexander]

51. Didn't you learn that typing in ALL CAPS is obnoxious?

Apparently you either don't know or don't care, suggesting that you're either 12 years old or just have that level of maturity.

[helderheid]

52. OH MY GOD HE SAID THE TRUTH AND IT MADE YOU POST IN CAPS?

[saltpoint]

68. SHE TALKS LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME SO EVERYONE WILL PAY ATTENTION

TO HER.

SHE CAN'T HELP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Umbram]

54. Seems the desperate stage has ended, now frothing ranting has begun. (nt)

[zulchzulu]

61. Is your keyboard broken?

Wow.

[saltpoint]

70. All that roaring must have forced the caps lock button down for good.

[barb162]

62. k and r

[saltpoint]

64. Do you scream everywhere you go, 24/7, or just in cyberspace?

[mac2]

85. Maybe his/her "cap lock" is stuck on his/her computer?

[Hoof Hearted]

65. Wait, last week he said he didn't know about the comments? Which is it Obama?

[BenDavid]

69. Obama lied and the media props this po bastard up more:

Until yesterday, Obama said the only thing controversial he knew about Rev. Wright was his stand on issues relating to Africa, abortion and gay marriage.

Obama's initial reaction to the initial ABC News broadcast of Rev. Wright’s sermons denouncing the U.S. was that he had never heard his pastor of 20 years make any comments that were anti-U.S. until the tape was played on air.

Here is the proofof the lie: Tuesday, Obama told a different story. “Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes,” he said in his speech Tuesday in Philadelphia.

IF Obama is going down, some people might even be glad she stayed in this race. The whoremedia and the Obama people think he hit a big home run with that last speech, but some people are saying he dodged the issue and "stuck with the crazy hater."Maybe this is why we have super-delegates. What if Obama leads in the delegate count, but is unelectable because of this anti-whites scandal?

[barb162]

79. You've nailed the problem.

It's a good thing HRC is in this race. And people keep forgetting that neither of them will go to the Convention having a lead that automatically gives them the nominee spot. If this Wright story has legs, which it seems to have, he'll be unelectable and the party will not shoot itself in the foot by making him the nominee.

check this:
"The Speech: A Brilliant Fraud
snip

But that is not the question. The question is why didn't he leave that church? Why didn't he leave -- why doesn't he leave even today -- a pastor who thundered not once but three times from the pulpit (on a DVD the church proudly sells) "God damn America"? Obama's 5,000-word speech, fawned over as a great meditation on race, is little more than an elegantly crafted, brilliantly sophistic justification of that scandalous dereliction.

His defense rests on two central propositions: (a) moral equivalence and (b) white guilt."
snip
But Obama was supposed to be new. He flatters himself as a man of the future transcending the anger of the past as represented by his beloved pastor. Obama then waxes rhapsodic about the hope brought by the new consciousness of the young people in his campaign. Then answer this, Senator: If Wright is a man of the past, why would you expose your children to his vitriolic divisiveness? This is a man who curses America and who proclaimed moral satisfaction in the deaths of 3,000 innocents at a time when their bodies were still being sought at Ground Zero. It is not just the older congregants who stand and cheer and roar in wild approval of Wright's rants, but young people as well. Why did you give $22,500 just two years ago to a church run by a man of the past who infects the younger generation with precisely the racial attitudes and animus you say you have come unto us to transcend?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

80. thank you for noticing too Ben

[Forkboy]

76. I'd switch to decaf if I was you.

You're going to give yourself an aneurysm.

[barb162]

77. I'm watching the replay of the show. He's obfuscating again.

Sample:
On Wright:
King:"Has this hurt your campaign?"
BO: Long "answer": ... we can invest in clean energy... we can educate our kids... this is an uncomfortable issue... the American poeople will judge me on my record... etc.

He never answered the damn question! Like what's wrong with a yes or no? He's deflecting again. The suspected real answer/ what was he thinking: It's killing my campaign.

Larry King: How will you do in PA?
BO: ...A real struggle... a popular governor with Clinton... we're scrappy... we can do very well... we work very hard in all of them... hopefully we'll be very successful... etc.

I have to get the written transcript of this interview; in about 2 days they put these transcripts up.

[mattclearing]

78. Lay off the caps lock.

Jesus.

[saltpoint]

81. _ _ _ _

:thumbsup:

[msallied]

82. I'm still waiting for the lie... you know, other than the one you're spouting.

[SeaLyons]

87. Until he comes clean...

and stops with all the contradictions and lies, this is NOT going away. It will continue until people feel they have the answers to their doubts. It will just keep going and going.

[rodeodance]

90. I am sure he has planned another GREAT speach for that.

[SeaLyons]

91. yup....it's amazing

[rodeodance]

88. drip drip from BO mouth

[Seabiscuit]

92. How many versions of the facts is he going to treat us all too?

And when will he learn to quit sticking his foot in his mouth about it all?
