The lasting impact of this is not what it does to Obama. It is what it does to the national Democratic party. It is the party’s embrace of the extreme radicalism of Soros, Michael Moore, Ayres/Dohrn, and Wright which will eventually drive away all the Reagan Democrats for good.

Kind of the democrat party in microcosm.

These ARE their goals. Whats the problem?

Time called it “a curious way to do business” that “raised some serious questions about both men and their way of doing things.”

Could you imagine Time being as forthright today? I suspect they would be doing back flips to spin this in their candidates favor. (I may be proven wrong, but I doubt it)

the main issue in this campaign wasn’t shaping up to be about change, but about that old-fashioned thing known as “guts.” Whatever you think of Hillary and McCain, they’ve got ‘em and its becoming clearer and clearer that Obama doesn’t……..Oh, he has bravado, and arrogance. But that’s not the same.

So true, not just of Obama though, but of so many in the ‘progressive’ left it seems. Perhaps that’s one of the underlying reasons lefties seem to get such negligible traction with folks and compensate by sniffing about “What’s the matter with Kansas” or about bitter rubes “clinging to their guns & religion.”

As regards guts, I disagree with that statement as regards Hillary. In Moby Dick, Melleville describes describes a shark feeding frenzy when they were peeling the blubber off of a whale along side their ship. He described how when they hit a shark in the tail with a harpoon, the other sharks immediately began feeding on it too, as soon as they sensed the blood. Even the shark who was hit turned and began biting its own tail. That has always been my take on Hillary.

As for McCain, though I disagree with his stands on certain issues and though he was far from my choice for the republican nominee, I have respect and admiration for his character and courage. However, character and courage don’t guarantee that he’ll make the best president, but he certainly stands above his opposition.

In his opposition, he is a most lucky man.

You would have to be on drugs to go to that church and not know what that church is about.

Do a little thought experiment… recall the video of his sermons.. and pay close attention to the video of the members of the church. They are PASSIONATE ,.. they are INVOLVED.. they are STRIDENTLY in agreement with Wright… even on the Sunday after 9/11

Do any of you think you could sit in a crowd like that if you DISAGREED with the basic validity of what was being said? And bring your family?

When you think about it in thsoe personal terms like that.. how can anyone come to the conclusion that Obama is sincerely surprised at what Wright has been preaching his entire career?

Obama is angry that he is exposed. That is why he’s angry.

Perhaps Obama thought that Wright would join with Obama in an unspoken agreement that Obama would have to say certain things against Wright to get elected, and Wright would just have to “take it” in order to help Obama.

Perhaps Obama thought that Wright would compromise his theology of blacks being the forever victim and help a member of his very church become the most powerful man ion the world.

I guess Wright believes his own theology a lot more than Obama does.. and now Obama is angry.

Laughable they are
