Obama's lack of judgement in regards to his pastor should raise concerns about his ability to assess other relationships in his life. How could a guy who belonged to a church for more than a decade not recognize his pastor's anger towards white people and the United States? Obama is either a liar or a complete idiot. No matter how the coin lands, he is a disgrace.
Obama's efforts to convince the public that his pastor's public, hateful comments are basically no different than his grandmother's private confessions to Obama... his poor grandmother deserves better than her disrespectful grandson offers.
I don't believe that Wright is representative of the Black community. Wright represents extremist viewpoints that seem to be at least partly supported by Obama as evidenced by his ongoing active membership in his church.
The Obama speech sounded pretty but offered no substance. His suggestion that those of us with an untrained ear (I think he meant "white people") wouldn't understand the singing and shouting and whatever else that goes on in Black churches. I couldn't care less about the singing and shouting. I do care, however about the tone of the preaching and about whether or not, at the core of Obama's beliefs exist ridiculous policy positions that are sympathetic to the ideas clearly held by that preacher.
In the end, Obama seems to suggest that if the country is ready to move beyond race he will be elected. The election of Obama will not end this issue. And a vote for John McCain isn't necessarily a vote for the white guy.
I will vote for McCain because he is right on the majority of issues facing America. This vote will be just as much a rejection of the ideas embraced by Obama (and Clinton) as it will be a vote for McCain.
The people voting based on race are much more likely to be in Obama's camp. These are all of the people saying they want change but can not identify a single issue or policy that Obama has successfully influenced or even attempted to influence to achieve this change.
Obama is a modern day Music Man- his policies, the non-existent instruments. Only in real life there can be no Marion to lead him towards the right path because he already has a wife, and she encourages the sales pitch.
We are in trouble folks. Trouble with a capital T that rhymes with B that stands for Barack.
