I have been shocked it has taken Americans so long to see through this charismatic politician. I just hope it is not too late.
This guy says whatever scores him points. He is dangerous and I believe there is much more to come out.
I wish the kool aid would dilute once and for all. He is not president material. Riots or not.

I almost feel sorry for Obama...the pastor, spiritual advisor, mentor, friend and family-like member is keeping Obama doing damage control for weeks on end. With friends like this....
Just last Sunday Obama was still trying to defend Wright as essentially being a casualty of his times and actually being untruthful about the way in which Wright grew up. http://www.newsmax.com/kessler/obama_wright/2...
This is a person to whom Senator Obama was closely aligned for over 20 years. Now Obama is repudiating him and says, "The person I saw yesterday is not the person I met 20 years ago."
Well, of course not. He's changed, Obama's changed. Did Wright just change overnight or has this been a progressive change? How many of his teachings are ingrained in Obama's heart and mind? We heard it in his wife's verbiage so we have to wonder what is really inside Obama.
The real question is how much did they pay Wright to damage Obama's political career looks like he is right on the money$$$$One thing is for sure I see No GOD in this man only self promoter or sneaky undercover with a hidden political agenda!

The Bush rednecks (the 26% who still lick his nuts) will always hate Obama.

But Obama proved himself a statesman today - he won't be pushed around by ANYONE!

another thought I had is he threw his racist grandmother under the bus, now he threw his father figure mentor under the bus, what ever happened to his pledge to defend those that he holds close to his heart and stand up for thier belief's,? isn't that what he said in his race speech? maybe not those exact words but with that meaning?

Obama called Wright a "GREAT LEADER"! Obama's integrity is in question to say the least and his judgement is a major problem. No Obama for America!

I agree with you 100%, but we're dealing with Mainstream Media here and this political battle for the White House is pretty much like their Super Bowl. They thrive on this because they have a huge brain dead audience (most of the voting public) who eat this stuff up.

Keep in mind that all of these mainstream media news shows are commercial funded and depend on viewers. The more viewers, the more people watching the commercials in-between news segments. If the viewers stop tuning in, the sponsors start pulling their funding.

If nobody watched all that crap on Fox News and other talking heads news shows, most of this lunacy would go away.

But it won't because the vast majority of the voting public are nothing more than slumbering cattle and buy into all this nonsense. Most people keep tuning into Fox News (and shows like it) so the circus keeps rolling along.

That all depends on how you look at it, if in fact Obama agrees with Wright in secret as Wright has suggested then yes he would consider him a great leader.

Rev. Wrong got paid twice, in a way. His speaking fee, and his calculated timing to do the maximum amount of damage to Barry. The last thing Wrong wants is to see Barry in the WH and I agree with him on that but for totally different reasons. If a black was Prez, Wrong, Sharpton, Jackson, and the whole Race Industry would have a going out of business sale. The majority of blacks shouldn't support Obama for that very reason. Their whining and crying about what happened to their ancestors 100 years ago is the only thing that gives meaning to their lives.

The other thing is that all of the bickering is a result of one candidate attempting to defend themselves after the opposing political camp has dug up some trivial mud on them and has thrown it at them.

The major tactic in these political campaigns is to throw as much mud against the other's wall as possible, then watch to see what sticks. The more mud thrown, the better your odds of having something stick.

The candidates are left to try to wipe off the mud as quickly as possible in the hopes of having none of it stick.

We, as viewers, end up being witness to this spectacle.

Simple as that.

All you people are haters, uninterested in solving problems. When Obama enters the White House, you KKKers will be having the going out of business sale. I'm not going to stick around and argue with you. Stay in your corner and rant. I'm going to find some Americans to talk to.

Wright is waging a personal propaganda to whicxh Obama should not be held accountable. It is wrong and dishonest to keep on linking OBama to that man.
Wright is Wright,Obama is Obama. Born at different time , educated differently ,having different vision over the past and the future.
Obama linked himself to that man. His "Uncle". Obama went to his church for years. Is still a member. Oh yes. Obama should most certainly be held accountable.

So NOW he decides to distance himself from Wright. He must have read the reviews, since I believe he said he didn't hear the speech.

Too little, too nice. But nice try.

Gotta admit, that's an interesting take on the situation.

Not a problem. I'll load up the shotgun and wait. I'm bitter like that.

You Americans are the reason this election is a popularity show. By taking these nonsence seriously you make them to act as chaep as they do.
Start by looking to what the candidates can do for you. Who has the best plans for his term.
If you just look at the useless populatity items, you end up with another Bush.
Show the world you intelligent people.

I wouldn't be surprised if this "separation" was all an act to make this Wright problem go away!
Wright just suddenly bad mouths Obama and Obama suddenly disowns his long, 20 year mentor,paster, friend, and father figure?? I don't think so. Too good to be true.
Something is fishy here and I don't trust Obama or Wright!!
They are both LIARS!!!!
You are not the only one. I'm not buying it either. Not one word.

I remember how Obama said he was against NAFTA, then contacted Mexico and Canada to say he didn't mean it. Same difference. He is obviously playing politics. We have his number.

Obama is such a liar! By his own admission, Rev. Wright was his mentor and friend. Back in February, 2007, Barack disinvited Rev. Wright from giving the innovation when he announced his run for president because, "You can get kind of rough in the sermons, so what we've decided is that it's best for you not to be out there in public." (http://www.gopachy.com/forum/ comments.php?DiscussionID=1651 8

Obama has even stated that he didn't see Rev. Wright's statements as all that controversial. Now, all of a sudden, when Rev. Wright may be harming his campaign he does a 180. As Rev. Wright has said, Obama has two sides. The political persona and his true persona. I think we are all beginning to see Senator Obama for who he really is and it's not pretty.

Seems that for a lot of you whining and crying about those dumb, lazy, criminal and no good blacks gives meaning to your life.

Stand up from that couch, get your hand out of your pants, put away the beer, stop searching for hooters on TV and try to formulate some desent arguments to built a case.
in that proces you will learn that things are far more different that you think.

When you were in the Soviet Union, was it your relative who got 99% of the vote. Were they so intelligent that they all agreed with the government?
