Obama quits church after long controversy

The *church* is suffering from the attention my campaign has focused on them...

Not exactly a denouncement of "black liberation theology". Still, there is a pattern emerging and we are learning a lot of this man from that pattern which has emerged.

Now we know what he stands for... all those "no votes" what they are saying is... He actually *is* a politician... and he "does what politicians do"... making the reverend look fairly wise in his assessment of this man.

After 20 years with this church he is just now leaving it "with saddness". He should have left after or during the FIRST sermon. Who is he kidding? With what we now know about him is scary enough, how much more don't we know? It bothers me that someone could get this far running for President, not to mention the backing he has AND all the campaign money coming in- where is that coming from?? McCain is the only sane American running.

i saw his "announcement" last night...he never really did address the fact that it's the FRIENDSHIPS with these people that most of us have a huge problem with ... he has been friends with flager for years ... just like he has been with ayers, wright, rezko and i'm sure more will be popping up.
this man is running his campaign in no small part on his "decision making" abilities and his character...what he says, and what he demonstrates are diametrically opposite.

he has been packaged very well not only by his "handlers", but by the media, that is so consumed by the hatred of the current administration that they will (AND DO) turn a blind eye to this man's LONG list of shortcomings.

Rev Hagee anyone?

He quits and you still are upset? Let us say, he did not belong to Trinity - would you support a Black man to be the president? Please be honest, it is computer land. Understanding in this nation's entire history - only 6 Blacks have won statewide elections.

Obama = 666.

First step, he denounces organized religion.....

i just wonder what his association will be AFTER the election, whether he wins or [especially] in case he loses. 20 year membership is a very long time. will he ever try to get back with the church or does he really disassociate himself for LIFE?

he claimed he broke it off cause it was "distracting my campaign" and it'd be very interesting to see what he'll do next, once this election is all said and done.

again 20 years was a long time so in case he loses, and sometime later wants to come back, will they let him OR consider him some type of traitor.

You can go to his church anytime that you want. But you won't find anything nearly as hateful as you will find at Obama's church. Nothing racist at all.

In a heartbeat, if had the appropriate political platform. My dream ticket was Keyes and Foster.

Yes I would support a black man, black woman, asian man, asian woman, ect. White America is overwhelmingly un-bigotted and not racist.

I WANTED to vote for Obama. That all changed long ago when his platform began to develop. Bottom line, he's WAY to left for this moderate girl.

Add in raising his kids in a racist church,(which only came out after I'd already decided against Obama's platform) and he's irrevocably lost my vote.

You apes are 12.8% of the population. 6 apes in governemt is over the quota. You savages want 50% of evything, no way! Get lost apeman.

I hope Obama wins and shows his true colors because this will be the biggest wake up call for White liberals; it wll force them to switch sides and will end the Black man in America for good.

White people can suffer 4 years under Obama because it will pay for us in the long run. No negroe will ever win anything, and will be shunned completely. Hopefully eradictated from existence as they are nothing but animals and ungrateful savages. VOTE OBAMA!

Yes, he will. To me, Obama is still the same person he was when he belonged to the church. I am for Hillary and if she loses the nomination and I think she will,I'll stay home on election day. It seems like our vote doesn't really count anyway. Let the super delegates vote for Obama. Let's see if they can elect him.

Race is part of most issues,come on.Why do think most blacks are for Obama. If they were looking at experience and who has done most for African Americans they would be voting for Hillary. But they are looking at race and maybe they have a point.Blacks will always support Blacks.

Too Little, To Late. A man is best known by the company he keeps. Quiting a church after 20-years is nothing more than a political ply. We KNOW who you are OSAMA OBAMA!

Way too little way too late!

Keyes, I love him. Wish he had ran this time. But the media and powers that be will not give a conservative black man the time of day.
