If Obama is not smart enough to realize what kind of person Rev White is after attending his church for 20 years, then he is not smart enough to be our president!

Obama should DROP OUT of the Presidential race. He HAD to know how his preacher felt about our country and to say he never heard him talk about our country and whites like he did. What else will we find out? Get rid of him before its to LATE!!!
hershel - 18 years ago
Well, what I really hear Obama saying as he is making his clam to fame relative to "judgement" is that he lacks such. Does he honestly think Americans believe he went to this church 20 years and did not hear these horrid comments? And does he think for one second that Americans have not noticed his refusal to honor the flag of the country he wants to lead? And does he realize that he has done more to divide this country than anyone has to unite this county? Who could ever believe his judgement would bring forward decisions that would be in the best interest of this country? He makes George Bush look like a red rose.

ALL:
I have been an OBAMA fan for the past 6 months. And now I can see that OBAMA is an ultra HATE AMERICA LIBERAL.
I voted for him . . . and I love to hear him speak!
BUT NOW since he WILL NOT distance himself from his 20 year pastor -- I'm finished with him. I will not vote for him . . . and he is off my LIST! I was an avid supporter. I am a conservative white professor, and I believed OBAMA until now. His pastor preaches hate and swears saying GOD D*mn America. I am appaled at this hate speech. OBAMA is weak and slow to do anything about this.
I no longer trust OBAMA! dr.m.

You do not sit in a pastor's pew for 20 years, get married by him, call him a mentor, use one of his speech titles as a title for your own book, put him on your advisory council, and then claim you didn't know that he had those incredibly hateful positions. Unless you agreed with them and felt quite comfortable with them...
Obama will blackwash the whole issue...or falsely apologize as if he did not know...and the leftist media will give him a pass.
Pam - 18 years ago
I am so sad. I think God must be crying over Wright saying G..d... America. I am sad for the people in his congregation, their children, the people that meet them on the street. They all need our prayers for the hate that must be inside them. I am also sad that all of the hope that Obama talked about is shadowed by this hate his pastor of 20 years speaks about. I thought a lot of Obama, now I am just sad for him and his family and for his children. I wondered where racism started, now I know it is church's like Obama's. It is certainly not in my church, or my school, or in my family.
How SAD! We all thought he would be a breathe of FREEZE AIR!!!! It seems like they are all alike! Just can't trust any of them!!! How very SAD!!!

David Dunning - 18 years ago
In Major Garrets interview, Barack Obama, after saying that he attends church regularly albeit sporadically, claims that he didn't hear Wrights remarks, asserting they were an anomaly, then states these statements "were strung together from hundreds of sermons?" Now were they an anomaly or were they spoken in hundreds of sermons? It can't be both.
What a joke, saying he never heard these views. Pastor Wright is a idiot, and needs promoted to all the american people. I hope that americans are not so stupid that they do not see the light! I think his presidental campaign is history. The Pastor sounds like a Hitler wanna be!

Jesus was a jew, and the real jews were black. the bible say so in the book of Revelations, the reason the white jews don't believe in the new testament of the bible is because the book of Revelations says the jew are not jews but the son of Satan, and the Quran curses the red Arabs as the worst of the muslims, so the devils seeds would be brothers,and look a like huh? this is sound right reasoning,
My question is why can't 2 brothers kids can't get along. nuwabu

I think Obama lied when he said he wasn't aware of the extent of the pastor's remarks and that he didn't personally hear any of them. If he went to the church for 20 years there is no way he didn't know his pastor was anti- American. Obama is a liar trying to save his political career. Now his wife's remarks about "the first time I am proud to be an American" make sense. I doubt if anyone attending that church is proud to be an American.

However, the black people only see the color not the person....they are blind to him and anything he has or has not done wrongly.....He knew a year ago about all of this...we cannot believe he has been in this church for this long and didn't hear or see any of this...well BS...as the Pastor said! I am not a bit unhappy of a WOMAN or a BLACK (Man or woman) would run for present....but the crowd you hang with is who you begin to look like!

Because HE is a racist, I will be a racist.

I am happy to see Obama denounce this pastor. But, he has been around this pastor for 20+ years. Why would someone stay with a church with a pastor that preaches such hate? This cannot be new. I am finding it hard to believe that some of these beliefs are not within Obama. I keep hearing that the Democratic primaries are not about race, but this just brings it to the forefront further. If a white preacher said the same in reverse he would be expelled and called a racist. Racism means prejudges or intolerance against another race. Well, Rev. Wright you are a racist. It does apply to you. It does not only apply to white people, and if nothing else comes out of this election I hope people will start to understand that.
Jim - 18 years ago
This is very alarming. The fact that he has been associated with this type of hatred for 20 years as well as his wife too. Her slip-up that she has just recently begun to like America probably was influenced a bit by her association with Mr. Hip-Hop Wright.

I'm a Hillary supporter and have been waiting for the press, and America, to wake up to some of the downfalls of voting for an "unknown" like Senator Obama. What really concerns me is that Michelle Obama can say she's only now proud to be an American and Obama's pastor can say GD America, but none of this is supposed to affect our view of Senator Obama? What is he, the next Teflon president? It's unfortuante. I thought he could have a huge future at some point in the future, but now he might be down and out for good. But this will only divide the Democratic Party, and America, even more.

If Obama does not know how this friend of 20 years thinks, and he does not
know how the entire congregation thinks, then I believe he is a downright
liar.!! He is a part of this church, the congregation, and pastor. You

If you think about it, this type of thinking is the same as radical moslem

James R. Jensen - 18 years ago
Barack Obama has admitted using illegal drugs in his youth, he is said to have favored socialist professors during his college years, he has admitted that Tony Rezko raised $250,000 for his first three years as an Illinois state senator, that doing business, in real estate, with Tony Rezko was a lapse in judgment and where his pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr, has been issuing anti-American and anti-white, racist sermons.
Barack Obama has said his admitted use of illegal drugs is an indiscretion in judgment, his involvement with tony Rezko is a lapse in judgment and the concepts of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr. are contrary to what he, Obama, believes. However, the fact still remains that Obama did make the overt decision to try drugs, he did make the decision to accept money from and deal with Tony Rezko and he did continue his member ship with Trinity Church and Jeremiah Wright Jr. in spite of what Wright Jr. was preaching.
At the very least Obama needs to explain why, when he knew what was going on in Trinity Church, he elected to continue his membership there. Why he elected to have his marriage there. Why he elected to have his children baptized there. And, most of all, why he chose to have Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr. as his personal mentor. How much of what Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr. believed really soaked into Obama’s psyche, in spite of what he says or denies?
At the very least, Barack Obama should have terminated his membership in Trinity Church and moved to a church that was not racist and was not anti-American and anti-white. It is hard to believe that Obama did not know what was being preached in his own church and that he was not so offended that he would be moved to change his church membership.
Further, if, as Obama says, his relationship with illegal drugs and his relationship with Tony Rezko were “lapses in judgment” how does that stand to put him into the highest position in the land as President of the United States and, arguably, the strongest individual on the planet. Who is to say that, at a crucial time in America’s future, he will not have another “lapse in judgment” when it is crucial to the United States to make the correct decision and follow the correct policy.
So, the question remains, is Barack Obama actually for “all” Americans and is he truly qualified to take the highest office in the land and lead the people of the United States in a global community. Certainly Barack Obama is an intelligent man, he is a charismatic man and he is a eloquent man when he is making speeches on the stump. But is he really the man with qualifications to become President of the United States at a time when the experience and leadership, that Obama doesn’t have, is crucial to the interest of the Untied States? Personally, I think not, but let the electorate decide.

Pastor's are also called shepherds, they are mentors and leaders. I find it unbelievable that this would be the first instance in 20 years that B.O. would have heard these incendiary comments. Even if that is so, the subtle message over time in his sermons would reflect the same basic philosophy. Mr. Obama will not survive this. White America will not believe these are not his views.
Initially I thought I would vote for Obama but not now after seeing this minister spew his hatred of America on TV.

How could Senator Obama attend a church for 20 yrs. and befriend the pastor if he did not agree with the pastors views??He is only denouncing his support now because this has all been exposed. Why didnt he quit the church before all this came out. Surely, he attended sevices and heard all this hatred spewing out of the preachers mouth. He must have agreed or he would not have been a loyal parishiner for 20 yrs. This is scary! Now I worry about what "Changes" he is really wants to make to America.
Senator McCain pussy-footed around the issue by saying that Obama is not responsible for the reverend's views and statements. What bothers me is that Obama has endorsed Wright by his many years of association and affiliation with the man and his church! But I fear that it will make no difference to the star-gazing liberals who worship at the shrine of Obama.

At a time when most everyone is trying to eliminate racialism, treading lightly, to be careful of what is being said so not to say anything that can be construed as racist, here comes this "minister" spewing anti-white remarks. People who have a tendency to be racist, now have a perfect example to use to give affirmation to their belief system. This man has widened the gap, threatening the progress that race relations have made through the years. Too bad he didn't spend some time with Martin Luther King. It's just sad.

Hi Greta:
I have been waiting to fine out about the Real Obama-I neither liked nor disliked him, I just never knew who he really was. I believe we are starting to find out the friends he keeps and what they believe in. I still have not decided who I will vote for. I am generally more conservative, but the right truly does not have an appreciation for the working class. I recall when you were interviewing Mitt Romney, and you asked him a question regarding the economy and the working folks, all he could say was he wasn't worried about the rich, but he really did not have a clue about the working or poor.
As far as the three running, I look at it this way. If they were to fill out an application or a resume and submit for the position of "President " Obama would not meet the qualifications and Hilliary would be shaky.
Only McCain would get an interview.
Respectfully,
Cathy

BHO went to this church for 20 years! The religion issue is a huge deal here. He never walked out of the church and went somewhere else. Why? So now that is he running for President, he needs to explain why he never denounced him before this. Sean Hannity brought up this issue almost a year ago, but the media gave BMO a free pass and never questioned him. The media made a big deal out of Mitt Rommey's religion, but no, don't ask BHO about his religion. It is too late, he is done in my book. It is over for him. I would not want this man for President at all.
I think he left the church and retired because Obama knew the water was getting rough with this pastor being head of his church and he had a lot to answer to so he probably requested pastor to retire! How convenient that now he is retiring....
Why didn’t Obama leave the church years ago? He must have believed what the preacher preached!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t buy any of it!!!!!! Joyce

Obama should DROP OUT of the Presidential race. He HAD to know how his preacher felt about our country and to say he never heard him talk about our country and whites like he did. What else will we find out? Get rid of him before its to LATE!!!
Well, what I really hear Obama saying as he is making his clam to fame relative to "judgement" is that he lacks such. Does he honestly think Americans believe he went to this church 20 years and did not hear these horrid comments? And does he think for one second that Americans have not noticed his refusal to honor the flag of the country he wants to lead? And does he realize that he has done more to divide this country than anyone has to unite this county? Who could ever believe his judgement would bring forward decisions that would be in the best interest of this country? He makes George Bush look like a red rose.
Someone should question Major Garrett. This is just a ploy by republicans to end Obama's run for president. No big surprises - they want Bush 3 in the whitehouse.
ALL:
I have been an OBAMA fan for the past 6 months. And now I can see that OBAMA is an ultra HATE AMERICA LIBERAL.
I voted for him . . . and I love to hear him speak!
BUT NOW since he WILL NOT distance himself from his 20 year pastor -- I'm finished with him. I will not vote for him . . . and he is off my LIST! I was an avid supporter. I am a conservative white professor, and I believed OBAMA until now. His pastor preaches hate and swears saying GOD D*mn America. I am appaled at this hate speech. OBAMA is weak and slow to do anything about this.
I no longer trust OBAMA! dr.m.
You do not sit in a pastor's pew for 20 years, get married by him, call him a mentor, use one of his speech titles as a title for your own book, put him on your advisory council, and then claim you didn't know that he had those incredibly hateful positions. Unless you agreed with them and felt quite comfortable with them...
Obama will blackwash the whole issue...or falsely apologize as if he did not know...and the leftist media will give him a pass.
I am so sad. I think God must be crying over Wright saying G..d... America. I am sad for the people in his congregation, their children, the people that meet them on the street. They all need our prayers for the hate that must be inside them. I am also sad that all of the hope that Obama talked about is shadowed by this hate his pastor of 20 years speaks about. I thought a lot of Obama, now I am just sad for him and his family and for his children. I wondered where racism started, now I know it is church's like Obama's. It is certainly not in my church, or my school, or in my family.
How SAD! We all thought he would be a breathe of FREEZE AIR!!!! It seems like they are all alike! Just can't trust any of them!!! How very SAD!!!
The interviewer did not stop Obama from spinning and ducking the questions. Oboma is done as he should have been if the press asked the right questions months ago.
In Major Garrets interview, Barack Obama, after saying that he attends church regularly albeit sporadically, claims that he didn't hear Wrights remarks, asserting they were an anomaly, then states these statements "were strung together from hundreds of sermons?" Now were they an anomaly or were they spoken in hundreds of sermons? It can't be both.
What a joke, saying he never heard these views. Pastor Wright is a idiot, and needs promoted to all the american people. I hope that americans are not so stupid that they do not see the light! I think his presidental campaign is history. The Pastor sounds like a Hitler wanna be!
Jesus was a jew, and the real jews were black. the bible say so in the book of Revelations, the reason the white jews don't believe in the new testament of the bible is because the book of Revelations says the jew are not jews but the son of Satan, and the Quran curses the red Arabs as the worst of the muslims, so the devils seeds would be brothers,and look a like huh? this is sound right reasoning,
My question is why can't 2 brothers kids can't get along. nuwabu
hi greta
i just dont beleive what obama is saying about this
he was stumbling over his words with major
thanks
I am so sad. I think God must be crying over Wright saying G..d... America. I am sad for the people in his congregation, their children, the people that meet them on the street. They all need our prayers for the hate that must be inside them. I am also sad that all of the hope that Obama talked about is shadowed by this hate his pastor of 20 years speaks about.

Why would anyone be suprised. Michelle O has already told us that "for the first time in my life I am proud to be an American" Sounds like something the raciest (reverend?) said.
How can Obama pass clearance for National Security with these affiliates? He needs to resign now.
I think Obama lied when he said he wasn't aware of the extent of the pastor's remarks and that he didn't personally hear any of them. If he went to the church for 20 years there is no way he didn't know his pastor was anti- American. Obama is a liar trying to save his political career. Now his wife's remarks about "the first time I am proud to be an American" make sense. I doubt if anyone attending that church is proud to be an American.
Senator Obama has just lost his bid for nomination. Hillary is now a shoo-in.
I believe he LIED in front of all of us! He knew all this was happening...he cannot deny it..unless he is deft, dumb and blind....I believe he is just trying to get past this one and it probably is going to hurt him badly. However, the black people only see the color not the person....they are blind to him and anything he has or has not done wrongly.....He knew a year ago about all of this...we cannot believe he has been in this church for this long and didn't hear or see any of this...well BS...as the Pastor said! I am not a bit unhappy of a WOMAN or a BLACK (Man or woman) would run for present....but the crowd you hang with is who you begin to look like! I am an independent and will not vote for The Junior Senator!
All I need to hear is this:
A leader utters the unthinkable "God damn America"
Another leader goes along with these words until he's up against the wall.
In my eyes, Obama is duplicitous and he is DONE.
And I mean DONE FOREVER. Do not damn my country.
We are in a wonderful country. The black community needs to stop making excuses for their trials. If Oprah can come from Mississippi and make billions, then ALL of the blacks should shut up and just do something. I, as an educated WHITE Mississippian, am tired of hearing the "poor pitiful me" excuse. I will support ONLY MY WHITE RACE!!!!!!!! And it is because of men like Obama's preacher. Because HE is a racist, I will be a racist.
I am happy to see Obama denounce this pastor. But, he has been around this pastor for 20+ years. Why would someone stay with a church with a pastor that preaches such hate? This cannot be new. I am finding it hard to believe that some of these beliefs are not within Obama. I keep hearing that the Democratic primaries are not about race, but this just brings it to the forefront further. If a white preacher said the same in reverse he would be expelled and called a racist. Racism means prejudges or intolerance against another race. Well, Rev. Wright you are a racist. It does apply to you. It does not only apply to white people, and if nothing else comes out of this election I hope people will start to understand that.
This is very alarming. The fact that he has been associated with this type of hatred for 20 years as well as his wife too. Her slip-up that she has just recently begun to like America probably was influenced a bit by her association with Mr. Hip-Hop Wright.
Wake up Americans! Where is our integrity?
If Billy Graham's Anti-Semitic comments did not stop Bill Clinton from using Graham as a spiritual guide > What is the diference.
Priests who are pediphiles should not stop Catholics from running for office
Deplorable - Obama bases his campaign on his "better judgement"... The horrendous statements made by his pastor of 20 years show very clearly to the American people just what kind of judgement they are in for with a President Obama. I hope people come to their senses before it is too late.
The guy who took over for this "pastor" is just a younger clone.
He needs to be investigated also. Bet he will lay low until after the election.
I wanted to believe in change...but this really brings to light how little we know about Sen. Obamas' thought process and values. Is Sen. Obama that ignorant that he (in 20 years) never heard the nonsense that came out of the pastors mouth?
How dumb is that!
The senators comments were a disection of words and not honest. Teh CDs were titled the BEST of the reverend. These wer not private or off standard by that title. The content in CDs for sales is evidence that this was the base platform of the retoric his presence on the pulpit. TEH redirection of the Democrats to Mccain is proof they understand that racisim is racisim no matter who directs it at whom
If this is the type of people Obama received his spiritual guidance from and looked up to, it is a scary thought to think that if President - who would be in his cabinet and who would be his advisors!! Now we know where Michelle Obama came from with her bigoted comments.
The Reverend Wright demonstrates that under cover of the cross and in the name of organized religion, our freedoms are being destroyed from within. It is ironic that Senator Obama may be derailed by someone of his own race and in the scheme of things, this is tragic.
Obahma is lying thru his teeth. He knows darn well that Wright is a black bigot preaching hatred. His wife also said she hasn't been proud of the USA 'til now. Give me a break!!!!11111
I agree with Joyce - pretty convenient that the pastor is going on leave now.... hmmmm..... I don't think BHO should be president. He is aligned with anti-Americans. It just doesn't make sense that someone who feels this way would even want to be president. What kind of change does he want?
If Billy Graham's Anti-Semitic comments did not stop Bill Clinton from using Graham as a spiritual guide > What is the diference.
Priests who are pediphiles should not stop Catholics from running for office
I'm a Hillary supporter and have been waiting for the press, and America, to wake up to some of the downfalls of voting for an "unknown" like Senator Obama. What really concerns me is that Michelle Obama can say she's only now proud to be an American and Obama's pastor can say GD America, but none of this is supposed to affect our view of Senator Obama? What is he, the next Teflon president? It's unfortuante. I thought he could have a huge future at some point in the future, but now he might be down and out for good. But this will only divide the Democratic Party, and America, even more.

I was leaning towards Obama but not now. It scares me to think of him running this country and what kind of people he would surround himself with in the White House. Wake up people, look at what kind of damage he could do as president. I am a registered democrat and Hillary's new #1 fan. At least we know she loves this country. PS I guess we know why his wife is so angry, she sounds like their pastor.
I'm a republican who is voting for McCain, but I've pondered if we did not win, who would be the lessor of the two evils. I decided I would rather see Obama win rather than Hillary, since I'm tired of Clintons. Now, I've changed my mind. How could Obama have stayed in that church with its racial, hatred views. I'll be scared to death if he wins. We could have another civil war.
I do not believe that Barack Obama went to that church for 20 years and never heard those kind of comments. I think someone should ask him if he was wearing ear plugs to listen to the games that are on on Sundays.
Who is running for President? I would not vote for Rev. Wright! If there is any record o fObama making these statements, it would make sense to discus this issue...This is still a free country and inflammatory speeches right or left are still legit.
I still believe in Senator Obama.
Does anybody know if Oprah is a member of the same church??....
I still believe in Senator Obama.
Obama said he was never in church services when Wright spoke about things he disagreed with, I don't believe that, he's been going to the church for 20 years and in all that time never heard anything offensive to him, hogwash. Obama is not to be trusted. I agree totally with "birds of a feather flock together.
I am a non-American following the lead up to the American elections with interest. I find Obama’s response to this issue ridiculous. For twenty years he has been attending this church and he states he know nothing about the views and opinion of his “good friend” PAstor Wright. Give me a break. If main stream American Democratic voters believe this rubbish the whole world is in trouble. What will he do if he gains the presidency???????
A member in good standing for 20 years, and he never heard these statements in the church? He is obviously not observant enough to be a Senator, muuch less the POTUS (President of the United States)
We really cant attack Obama on this, because, if we do, then we would need to attack McCain too. We need to attack the liberals on the issues
If this were a white candidate he would be automatically ostracized. There is no difference between this and a candidate that is a supporter of the KKK.
I truly believe that Obama believes what Rev Wright, Jr has said. He went to that church for 20 yrs. I dont believe that he didnt notice the anti American retorick - He has a crediability problem
Never would I trust Obama as my commander in chief. You are who you associate yourself with...its just that simple. This standard is the same for all candidates...too bad people didn't ask questions like they should have during the earlier primaries. Now our options are being scraped from the bottom of the barrel.
Its a frightening thought that Obama could be president and has belonged to a church like this. This pastor has extremely strong views obviously and there is no way that he has never heard these types of comments!!
This is very scary
He is as scary to me as Lewis Faragon. He sure ditched his Pastor quick...wonder what he will do with others for the bid for the presidency. He is lying..........he had to know.
I simply cannot believe that someone could attend a church for 20 years (even periodically) and he was unaware that his pastor is a racist? This man is preaching hatred bigotry toward whites and has total disrespect toward America. I believe Barack Obama is a liar!!
i think that Fox new is the real racist, all of their new shows, show black in a negative light. Here in Miami, Fox news and channel seven news seem to think black people don't exist. what we need to do is boycott all Fox show and new nationwide and show their advertisers that we do exist.
I am glad the dirty laundry is coming out now for everyone to see. Hilary has to be eating this up!
How do these recent comments made from the pulpit affect the tax exempt status of the church if pastors are not even allowed to talk about candidates? This becomes a major campaign issue.
HOW COULD YOU BE A MEMBER OF THAT CHURCH FOR 16 YEARS AND NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR PASTOR IS PREACHING. GIVE ME A BREAK.
There is no way that Obama has not been influenced by this prejudice, deplorable, shouting out of control demon mouth low life of a man after 20yrs, and remember Obama is saying he hadn't heard these comments sitting in the pews, No I'm sure he has heard so much more and even worse in the pew in 20yrs and in private, birds of a feather flock together, there all out of control the whole church, no wonder there is still prejudice in this country!!!!
Obama's wife's comment, now his pastor (uncle, mentor, friend). Now we are seeing the true side. What kind of pastor is that and what Christ is he following - just where is the love???? And Obama sits in that church under that shepherd's teaching. His children are being raised in that church. Look what is being instilled there. He criticizes Hillary Clinton's judgment. What about his????
Okay so a grown man is going to ask his pastor what to do in guiding the country? I do not think his pastors views will impact his ability to be our leader.
I think everyone has missed one point. Did you notice the entire
congregation supporting and cheering this pastor as he said the awful
things about our country?
If Obama does not know how this friend of 20 years thinks, and he does not
know how the entire congregation thinks, then I believe he is a downright
liar.!! He is a part of this church, the congregation, and pastor. You
cannot tell me he does not share the same views!
If you think about it, this type of thinking is the same as radical moslem
teachings.

no wonder obama will not wear the american pin i'm not sure he loves our country like we do, AMERICANS beware of this man!!!!!
HILARY has been charged with playing the race card and most of the media stations have beed eating it up. finally someone had the guts to put down the "OBAMA-AID" and saw through the smoke.OBAMA has been getting away with no questions asked. look at what has turned up in just this short time.
I believe this will be detrimental to Obama's campaign. I just hate that it had to happen so late with only a few states left to hold primaries.
Greta,
Senator Obama's minister is un-Christian and un-American as well. Obama cannot have been a part of that church for 20 years and "not know" the attitude. That makes him a liar and unfit to hold any elected office in this land.
Thank you for the opportunity to speak out.
Barbara
I do not understand why Fox bleeped the word "nigger", but let the words "God damn America!" be aired. Please explain.
Why is there a "Not Sure" option?? That makes no sense! Anyway, I sincerely hope this kills his run at the White Huse. I sincerely pray the brainwashed Looney Left will wake up and see exactly what their team stands for! A racist is a racist and one who follows a racist is probably one as well.
Give me a break! Obama went to that church for 20 years and he never heard the Pastor say any of those things! Does he think we are stupid? He has no right to be President of this country, he has no right to be a Senator!
It's a big deal because the statements were very anit-America--statements that an enemy of the Country would make-however, I am not sure that Obama personally shares them, but hard to believe he'd continue going to that Church if he vehemedly disagreed with his Pastor......
This is totally unacceptable. I don't believe Obama has never heard this rhetoric before. Booooooo
Barack Obama is a liar and I believe his campaign is over. The pastor of his church has been spewing his hate for years and years. You cannot know someone for 20 years and not know their views on issues. Unbelievable.
Omaba is not telling the truth, he had to have known the racist attitude of one whom he calls his mentor. He has lost my vote!!
Can't we wait to rip him apart until after we find out for sure Hillary doesn't have a chance. Lets not take a chance folks on running against Hillary.
If he went to church there for 20 years and he never heard anything like that, then he was either asleep or he is not telling the truth. I don't believe you could know someone that long and not have heard some of his views. If you stayed there I would assume you have the same views.
The Pastor was wrong the pulpit is not a place to be preaching a political message seperation of church and state
There is no way that Obama has not been influenced by this prejudice, deplorable, shouting out of control demon mouth low life of a man after 20yrs, and remember Obama is saying he hadn't heard these comments sitting in the pews, No I'm sure he has heard so much more and even worse in the pew in 20yrs and in private, birds of a feather flock together, there all out of control the whole church, no wonder there is still prejudice in this country!!!!
Has none of you had a close friend who sometimes said crazy things?
If not, then get a life!
This is a witch hunt and not a desire to engage real issues.
Unity and change are possible with Obama and with no one else--all tied to the old guard.
If you've never lived outside the comfortable and consuming U.S. you can't know in what contempt we have long been held for our international arrogance and our internal violence and racism.
Yes, the chickens are coming home to roost. And our economy can't buy us out of it this time. Only diplomacy and unity and change can.
I had doubts all along about Obama. The news about his membership in this church which preaches hate of the white man has confirmed my doubts. I only hope America will wake up before they elect him as President. I hate to think of what will happen to our Country if he is elected.
Wow, in twenty years he should have known something probably was not right with his church views.... unless he thought they had some truth... which is viamently unamerican!
its damaging, he still hasnt distance himeself, he acted like a true politicans.
when I go to church I hear about love an forgiveness, if politics were presented--- Id walk out, these sermons are strictly filled with hate, hes not a man of the choth.
This pastor and more importantly this church is big trouble for Obama. He is done!
its damaging, he still hasnt distance himeself, he acted like a true politicans.

The guy is an out and out liar. How an American can vote for this hateful, racist, lowlife liar is beyond me.
This guy is evil in human form, and I'm referring to Obama.
What we are witnessing is an attempted hostile take over of the United States. May God truly help us if he somehow gets elected by our stupidity.
I can see right through his words and it was so apparent that he was lieing and decieving our country. If this presidential race is going to be between Hilary and Obama. Unfortunatley, it looks like a woman will be our next bet
This insight on Obama is very scary. Is this the pastor that will swear in Obama at the Whitehouse? These kind's of comments are not good for our country.
Barack Obama has admitted using illegal drugs in his youth, he is said to have favored socialist professors during his college years, he has admitted that Tony Rezko raised $250,000 for his first three years as an Illinois state senator, that doing business, in real estate, with Tony Rezko was a lapse in judgment and where his pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr, has been issuing anti-American and anti-white, racist sermons.
Barack Obama has said his admitted use of illegal drugs is an indiscretion in judgment, his involvement with tony Rezko is a lapse in judgment and the concepts of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr. are contrary to what he, Obama, believes. However, the fact still remains that Obama did make the overt decision to try drugs, he did make the decision to accept money from and deal with Tony Rezko and he did continue his member ship with Trinity Church and Jeremiah Wright Jr. in spite of what Wright Jr. was preaching.
At the very least Obama needs to explain why, when he knew what was going on in Trinity Church, he elected to continue his membership there. Why he elected to have his marriage there. Why he elected to have his children baptized there. And, most of all, why he chose to have Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr. as his personal mentor. How much of what Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr. believed really soaked into Obama’s psyche, in spite of what he says or denies?
At the very least, Barack Obama should have terminated his membership in Trinity Church and moved to a church that was not racist and was not anti-American and anti-white. It is hard to believe that Obama did not know what was being preached in his own church and that he was not so offended that he would be moved to change his church membership.
Further, if, as Obama says, his relationship with illegal drugs and his relationship with Tony Rezko were “lapses in judgment” how does that stand to put him into the highest position in the land as President of the United States and, arguably, the strongest individual on the planet. Who is to say that, at a crucial time in America’s future, he will not have another “lapse in judgment” when it is crucial to the United States to make the correct decision and follow the correct policy.
So, the question remains, is Barack Obama actually for “all” Americans and is he truly qualified to take the highest office in the land and lead the people of the United States in a global community. Certainly Barack Obama is an intelligent man, he is a charismatic man and he is a eloquent man when he is making speeches on the stump. But is he really the man with qualifications to become President of the United States at a time when the experience and leadership, that Obama doesn’t have, is crucial to the interest of the Untied States? Personally, I think not, but let the electorate decide.
sounds like an intellectual idiot; this will sink obama and it should if he goes along with this idiot
obama knew what was going on and the true 'colors' are now showing
He should drop out!
I don't believe for one moment that Obama being a member for 20 years of the Trinity Church never heard such imflammatory statements
I find it hard to believe that a man you've known for twenty years, consider him your mentor and view him as an "uncle" and you are unaware of these outragious beliefs and views. It doesn't make any sense. You might not agree or adhere to his beliefs, but you would have to have some idea of where this man stands!
Pastor's are also called shepherds, they are mentors and leaders. I find it unbelievable that this would be the first instance in 20 years that B.O. would have heard these incendiary comments. Even if that is so, the subtle message over time in his sermons would reflect the same basic philosophy. Mr. Obama will not survive this. White America will not believe these are not his views.
Initially I thought I would vote for Obama but not now after seeing this minister spew his hatred of America on TV.
This is scary! BHO for "President"."
How could Senator Obama attend a church for 20 yrs. and befriend the pastor if he did not agree with the pastors views??He is only denouncing his support now because this has all been exposed. Why didnt he quit the church before all this came out. Surely, he attended sevices and heard all this hatred spewing out of the preachers mouth. He must have agreed or he would not have been a loyal parishiner for 20 yrs. This is scary! Now I worry about what "Changes" he is really wants to make to America.
Senator McCain pussy-footed around the issue by saying that Obama is not responsible for the reverend's views and statements. What bothers me is that Obama has endorsed Wright by his many years of association and affiliation with the man and his church! But I fear that it will make no difference to the star-gazing liberals who worship at the shrine of Obama.
At a time when most everyone is trying to eliminate racialism, treading lightly, to be careful of what is being said so not to say anything that can be construed as racist, here comes this "minister" spewing anti-white remarks. People who have a tendency to be racist, now have a perfect example to use to give affirmation to their belief system. This man has widened the gap, threatening the progress that race relations have made through the years. Too bad he didn't spend some time with Martin Luther King. It's just sad.
Hi Greta:
I have been waiting to fine out about the Real Obama-I neither liked nor disliked him, I just never knew who he really was. I believe we are starting to find out the friends he keeps and what they believe in. I still have not decided who I will vote for. I am generally more conservative, but the right truly does not have an appreciation for the working class. I recall when you were interviewing Mitt Romney, and you asked him a question regarding the economy and the working folks, all he could say was he wasn't worried about the rich, but he really did not have a clue about the working or poor.
As far as the three running, I look at it this way. If they were to fill out an application or a resume and submit for the position of "President " Obama would not meet the qualifications and Hilliary would be shaky.
Only McCain would get an interview.
Respectfully,
Cathy
BHO went to this church for 20 years! The religion issue is a huge deal here. He never walked out of the church and went somewhere else. Why? So now that is he running for President, he needs to explain why he never denounced him before this. Sean Hannity brought up this issue almost a year ago, but the media gave BMO a free pass and never questioned him. The media made a big deal out of Mitt Rommey's religion, but no, don't ask BHO about his religion. It is too late, he is done in my book. It is over for him. I would not want this man for President at all.
I think he left the church and retired because Obama knew the water was getting rough with this pastor being head of his church and he had a lot to answer to so he probably requested pastor to retire! How convenient that now he is retiring....
Why didn’t Obama leave the church years ago? He must have believed what the preacher preached!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t buy any of it!!!!!! Joyce
I'm 75. All my life I've heard and was taught from little on up "That birds of a feather, flock together". I'm not ready to entrust the leadership of the most
powerful country in the world to the friend of someone who could shout to
the world "God damn America"
