    Why Didn't Obama Tell Us This Before?
    Now, this news article IS truly revealing and speaks volumes about Obama!

    Obamaites, here, take a good look at your superhero and read all about it! Why hadn't Obama revealed this little gem of a conversation he had with Wright, umm? Why did Wright bring it out finally at this time? What do you think about Obama agreeing about a year ago that he might have to distance himself from Wright? And now it's happened! He HAS distanced himself but now this story has also broken! Wonder how many people who voted for him before this, would take their vote back if they could, now that they see Obama's true colors?

    Obama may not mention it ;but this is generally common knowledge. The NC primary revealed that it doesn't matter what is revealed about Rev Wright. Obama gets a pass with his base on the issue.

    Well Tom, therein lies the big problem right there! The bigger problem is that I fear if he gets in the White House what would happen to us should we get attacked by some entity that hates America? We should not feel safe with Obama in the White House. If Bush could just sit still while we were being attacked on 9/11, and few have questioned his patriotism, what do you think is going to happen with Obama who won't even place his hand over his heart during our National Anthem? The sheer complacency of voters enamoured with the pied piper's words is absolutely astounding but will come back to bite and eat them raw, just wait. Just wait! Given the chance, it will become another "I Told You So" revelation unfortunately come true and at a Big Price.

    Of course why would a terrorist group actually name the real person they want in power?? It would make a lot more sense for them to name the person they don't want, so if they really support Hillary, why not name Obama hoping to hurt his campaign?

    Old news? Did you notice the date, April 29, 2008? I do not consider that old at all but even if it was a year or two or more ago, the conversation between Wright and Obama should be chilling for every American. When a man can stay listening to such anti-American rhetoric for 20 YEARS and then the man at the pulpit tells him that if he gets closer to his bid for the presidency, he might have to keep his distance from him because of all he has heard, learned and embraced all those years and Obama agrees with him as the story has brought out, many feel that is Big Serious Business! No doubt about it. And no amount of 'it's old business' can or should detract from this story. It shouldn't. It should make everyone very uncomfortable including those who are for him as it shows that now that Obama continues in his bid and edges closer to being the nominee, he has to pretend he doesn't like what his preacher preached for TWO DECADES. Wright indicated they spoke about this only one short year ago. Serious matter, no doubt about it. God Help America!

    Here is what I find most disturbing about this whole quagmire.

    Every truth that comes out, is seen by the black community as just another "white" attack on the "black man". All this is doing is rallying the black vote to defend him.

    No matter what comes out about this guy, it only strengthens his support by the black voters. The more negative the news is, the stronger his support grows.

    Rev. Wright, William Ayers, Louis Farrakahn and the Million Man March should be enough to convince the entire public that we should be taking a hard and close look at this guy that no one had even heard of 3 years ago.

    Add to that, the liberal media gives him a pass on everything, they never ask the hard questions, they never press on any of his "questionable" ties, they end up asking him questions like "explain the disparity between the black and white votes you are gaining compared to the hispanic vote" or "since you came to Washington, what decisions have you had to make" or even "is there any one issue where the democratic party is out of step with the mainstream of America"? What! Only One?

    Seriously, there is no fix to this, when negative and potentially dangerous truths, result in more support, when the liberal media has an agenda and the power to make their agenda happen, I have little hope for our political process.

    That is very true. Yet, the complacency that currently exists is mind-boggling and one just has to wonder what kind of spell this man has cast over his flock and for what purpose!

    Progunr, you are absolutely right-on about this! I have Big fears for this great, wonderful country of ours should this man get elected to lead it. It is as if people have been hypnotized into believing only that he walks on water and not see all of the other detrimental things that follow him with a big stench. That is not good for the country and why many of us aim to bring this out before the big vote in November. We care about and Love this country and do not want for it to fall into the hands of storytellers like Obama who can weave a convenient story faster than a spider can weave its web. People must Wake Up to see what is happening here and start to seriously question just why they have fallen so deeply into his spell and whether it is for their greater good in the long run and that of their country and fellow men.

    Did you hear his latest statement?

    Speaking in Oregon, and while I don't have the exact quote, it was along the lines of
    How much he has traveled around the United States in the past 15 months. He said he has visited 57 states, with one left to go?

    OK.

    OK.
    Is this the same university graduate speaking who wants to become president and doesn't even know how many states the U.S. has, yet wants everyone to believe he is so "with it" with all that concerns this country? Huh? Is that the same edge-a-kated fella?

    Yeah, don't know were he got that, perhaps he's counting Manhattan, or perhaps the Florida Keys?

    I would prefer that MY President knows how many states we have!

    And he had the nerve to say that McCain is "loosing his bearings"?

    Again, OK.
