Wright's radical views all the time. Probably agreed with most of them. Remember, he and his wife were just coming off a prolonged indoctrination (college) and they both found the reverend's views were in line with their own. Obama has no choice- he has to continue to lie. The truth is a death knell to his political career. But it is an eternity to the Convention. I don't think he's going to hold out. Maybe the crazy uncle will say something that will put the final nail in the coffin. Michelle has been very quiet lately. Doc J,

As I said earlier, this is like Al Gore's "iced tea" defense - and similar Bill Clinton's stupid claim that he "didn't inhale" a joint when he had one in his mouth. There is absolutely no way in you know where that in his 20 year association/mentorship/friendship with Rev. Wright that he never heard any of Wright's controversial sermons. BO remarked tonight that had he heard any of them, he would have stood up and told Wright that what he was saying was "unacceptable" and went on to say that had he detected a "pattern" with Rev. Wright's hateful sermons, he would have left the church. GMADB! He knew. He's pulling the same ol ‘okey doke' (see definition 3) that he slams "Washington insiders" for doing.

However, if the Democrats are to have any chance of winning the election this Fall the party has two (or perhaps three) options: 1. get on the same page and end the "civil war", 2. push only BO, or 3. offer a write-in candidate. BO must (unlike Gore in the Ice Tea Defense) tell the truth and strongly condemn Pastor's remarks (first in a private meeting). If Rev. Moss holds the same position as Rev. Wright, the Obama family would be wise to find a new church home! I am a Conservative.

We're supposed to believe in his 20 year friendship/mentorship with Rev. Wright, not once, not ever, did Barack Obama ever hear anything remotely close to what's been quoted as being said by Wright in the news. Keep in mind that one of the hallmarks of Wright's "social gospel" philosophy - in fact his entire being - is an emphasis on "black power" - again, which sounds something you'd hear from the Black Panthers. Yet not once did Wright ever utter anything of the sort in front of Barack Obama. Either Wright figures BO has virgin ears, or BO is feeding us a load. I vote for the latter option.
