The reverend wright interview will be shown on PBS Friday night. With American voters, O'Bumma will probably gain in the polls after this interview. It would be nice if the good reverend would explain how he knows that Jesus was a black who was persecuted by whites.

Ben, I've seen parts of the interview. If it helps O'Bumma gain votes then there are some whacked nut cases that will be doing the voting. It's kind of easy now to see where his wife got influenced. The Reverend is a racist thru and through. He also says that AIDS is an American government conspiracy to bring down the black man. I guess he's never heard of the "downlow" that has been admitted by many black men. These are married black men that keep this secret from their wives. (I saw a TV special Oprah did on it.)
Anyway, Wright is an angry freak. BTW, where and who were the "whites" back in the day of Jesus.  |

The Democrats are doomed by their own choice. I was for Edwards, so I am completely blameless. I said then, and I say now, America does not elect a woman and the southern states (Virginia to Arizona) do not elect a Black. They sought the rare road: how can the Democrats F*** up their own wet dream? They can do it by favoring either a woman or a Black. I'm either voting for McCain or Nader.  |

| I like Nader too but I won't throw my vote away. Cambridge, you know he doesn't stand a chance. If you don't like the other two then give McCain your vote. |

McCain has an uphill battle against any democrat. The recession, an unpopular war and an unpopular outgoing President will be a tough mountain to climb. If O'Bumma somehow loses to McCain, it'll be because he is too far-left radical for regular democratic voters.
McCain will probably carry Florida and Michigan however!  |

O'Bumma has support from high places:
1/ Earlier this month, a chief political adviser to the Prime Minister of Hamas, Ahmed Yousef, said, "We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election and I do believe he is like John Kennedy."
2/ Jenna Bush said she would consider voting for O'Bumma. Sounds like she inherited her father's brains  |

Hamas likes Obama ? Bet he's shaking at that , there backing is right up !
But don't forget the israelis who have all that blood on there hands must worship bush for fighting there war with iraq and not pushing them to live up to ther never ending claims they want peace.........
I saw part of the interview with Wright last nite .Really was a impressive man , reminded me of the people at the country club I work at pt.A smart sophisticted, and I think also well meaning guy .be intersting ti listen to /tt.
The probelm was like way too many preachers he's likely to do over speak and go from being smart to a ignorant arrogant gasbag like he did . Maybe ruining Obama's chance to be elected .Am sure Obama was cringing when the show was on since the last thing he wants is Wright drawing attention to himself ......
Still don't understand why the Democrats aren't raising hell about the white preacher for Mc Cain who hates catholics |

Zia, tbh I can’t vote for McCain or Clinton. The reason is the biggest issue for me is this deceitful, purposeless war that is sucking all of the life blood (literally and economically) out of the US. If this war goes on for even ten more years the US will be so depleted that the vultures will start pecking at it’s carcass—read as, China.
The reason is what a friend and former client of mine, Steven Agee, called “The Portugal Hypothesis.” At the time he was talking about squandering the resources of NASA—btw, Steve is far more conservative than you or Z—but I think the point is appropriate here. See, in the 16th century Portugal was one of the big players, along with England, France and Spain. But it failed to keep up its vital strength, gutting itself with useless endeavors and wasted military efforts, without building up its resources. Same here; I don’t think internecine is the problem, but the colossal miscalculation of the neocon dreamers who got us into this quagmire. If the Muslim American war keeps up (and it will if we are still there—ask Israel) the US will be a second-rate power by 2020 and Chinese warships will be cruising the Persian Gulf policing us.
McCain has admitted he will keep up the war. Clinton is almost as much of a hawk as McCain, and that’s a problem for me. I agree that Obama isn’t experienced, but that’s a criticism that you can level at all three of them. This just looks like a bad year for America. The year of the downfall, if something doesn’t change. Ironically, Nader seems the most experienced among the acceptable of all of them.  |

Well, I guess that excludes the Brits...but how is that relevant to assessing the future of America? Neither party has put up acceptable candidates. |

reverend wright is trying to help O'Bumma by not coming across as a lunatic in person. Bill Moyers was gentle and didn't challenge him. wright is well-spoken, but has specious reasoning. Most importantly....
He didn't apologize for his remarks and doesn't think he said anything wrong. He just made excuses. He actually believes everything he said
But since much of the American public can't assimilate and associate what wright said and what a calmer interviewee said, as both being part of the same person, O'Bumma ironically could be helped by all this
wright to speak Monday in America's capital, DC. |

I din't like how he wudn't apologize either.............
But he did add a broader view of both good and bad about America most people , especially middle clas people don't get . This is a great country but has it's sins like every other country .
Be a liberal like me and kep the good stuff but always try to have justice and find better ways to do things !  |

But how does it help Obama to keep the thing in the news…more opportunity for news channels to run the bites over and over. I think Wright is doing this for selfish reasons, and he has no collusion with the Obama campaign.

Careful, this could be construed as an elitist statement.  |
