I don't think that he will win. If thase sermons can turn a yellow dog dem into voting republican, he will keep him from win. I will be voting republican for the first time because of those sermons and the lack of outrage from Obama's supporters. I have yet to hear people apologizing for what he has been said. All I hear is excuses about slavery and segregation. The hatred is there. I see his denouncement of the half of his family that stood by him when the other half deserted him. I don't like the man I see. There are a lot that have these emotions, but unlike me thay don't have the time to posts on these boards. After all the years of voting for the liberal party while living in a conservative community, I am horrified that the party does not have a problem with a campaign of a man that associated for twenty years with a church that allows such hatred to be preached from the pulpit. I have always believed in treating people fairly. There is nothing fair about not holding him to the same standards of conduct as others. Angry, oh yes. I'll get over the anger, but I won't get over the disappointment of the rational that I as a white person have it coming and no appologies are necessary. Now, an appology would be too late. I'll send my donation to the repubs.
Get over it. I'm quite sure Hillary and McKlame have dealt with their fair share of racism as well.

As for alot of people crossing the aisle because of this? BS. The People are flocking to the polls to vote for Obama because they want change from the corporate controlled puppets we've been getting. Like Hillary or McKlame. Same old folks same old message same plan. Obama to alot of people represents the hope that we can change things. That we as Americans do have a say so in our government.

Its my guess that you'll be crossing over because he is black and for that reason alone. Not because he heard sermons where whitey got what was coming to him for a change. I myself, a white man, pray often that whitey gets it for a change. Bush is one of those whiteys.

In my opinion the stain of sin in the Constitution is not about the attitudes held by many or some at the time the document was written, but rather in compromise offered in the language of Article 1, Section 9, Clause 1:

"The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person."

The fact that Congress did prohibit the slave trade as soon as it became constitutional to do so does not fully excuse the fact that the slave trade itself was allowed to continue for that time.

"In order to form a more perfect union" the Founding Fathers made a deal with the devil.

Unprecedented.
I could not in my wildest dreams, in all my journalistic education and writing experience ever have been able to envision a politician delivering such an incredible speech on such a controversial issue as racism, so eloquently and with such passion and integrity that it would seem tangible.
Great job Sen. Obama
Journalistic education and writing experience. LOL You're just another star struck person hoping to help yourself to a little limelight.

Latoya, there is no "whitey." There are white bigots and racists. But there are also white people who have been outraged by the injustices to Black people. Many whites have even died and gone to prison defending equal rights. Don't blindly put us all in one group, just as some white people have done to black people.

Quit baiting these people LaToya. This is just a game for you. Prove your stance, move to Louisiana and help the disenfranchised or hell just about anywhere in the USA. Oh and while you do that remember not to take anything to promote your cause, because it may mean taking it from whitey,that means money, housing or a computer. People like you are the continuing fuel that feeds the fire of racism.

yeah, i hear you. i cant defend those sermons, they were vicious. all i can think about is how would christ would feel sitting in a church hearing that stuff. some was opinion, some was blatant lies.

its the lies i have a problem with. the u.s did not give black AIDS. that was repulsive that the pastor said that. thats a lie form the pulpit, that greatly offends me as a christian.

maybe obama didnt know he said that. and i will give obama the benefit of the doubt. but apparently you cant, and you know what, i respect that.

this may cost obama the white house. but really i think obama getting this far...he has already won. if his speech and his campaign causes blacks and whites to look at what seperates them in america and work to overcome those obstacles, obama relevance would be a lot more worthy than the presidency.

Latoya, I'm starting to wonder. Could you possibly be a paid political assassin attempting to destroy Obama's chances? Maybe you are because your statements are exactly the ammunition some people need to try to destroy Obama's reputation.
Hey, other forum chatters, do you think it's possible?

I think Obama loves 12.4% of the American people.
As for the rest if they are guilt ridden enough over slavery to give in to all his demands then there might be a place for them in his heart too.
For those who that is being too hard on him since he gave a great speech Tuesday I say he should have given that speech to his own racist church years ago.
If he can't even heal the people he is closest to how can he hope to heal the whole country?
were you going to vote for him before the speech and before you heard the sermon clips??.

So your alternate is to vote for McCain who is going to kill more white and black soldiers in Iraq for the next 100 years. Great alternative I would say!
McCain won't be killing any soldiers. He will have our soldiers kill terrorists before they can kill Americans and other innocent people. So you are correct, McCain is a great alternative.
