HI Greta, Not sure....
I'm 75. All my life I've heard and was taught from little on up "That birds of a feather, flock together". I'm not ready to entrust the leadership of the most powerful country in the world to the friend of someone who could shout to the world "God damn America"
I think he left the church and retired because Obama knew the water was getting rough with this pastor being head of his church and he had a lot to answer to so he probably requested pastor to retire! How convenient that now he is retiring.... Why didn’t Obama leave the church years ago? He must have believed what the preacher preached!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t buy any of it!!!!!! Joyce
BHO went to this church for 20 years! The religion issue is a huge deal here. He never walked out of the church and went somewhere else. Why? So now that is he running for President, he needs to explain why he never denounced him before this. Sean Hannity brought up this issue almost a year ago, but the media gave BMO a free pass and never questioned him. The media made a big deal out of Mitt Rommey's religion, but no, don't ask BHO about his religion. It is too late, he is done in my book. It is over for him. I would not want this man for President at all.
Hi Greta: I have been waiting to fine out about the Real Obama-I neither liked nor disliked him, I just never knew who he really was. I believe we are starting to find out the friends he keeps and what they believe in. I still have not decided who I will vote for. I am generally more conservative, but the right truly does not have an appreciation for the working class. I recall when you were interviewing Mitt Romney, and you asked him a question regarding the economy and the working folks, all he could say was he wasn't worried about the rich, but he really did not have a clue about the working or poor. As far as the three running, I look at it this way. If they were to fill out an application or a resume and submit for the position of "President " Obama would not meet the qualifications and Hilliary would be shaky. Only McCain would get an interview. Respectfully, Cathy
At a time when most everyone is trying to eliminate racialism, treading lightly, to be careful of what is being said so not to say anything that can be construed as racist, here comes this "minister" spewing anti-white remarks. People who have a tendency to be racist, now have a perfect example to use to give affirmation to their belief system. This man has widened the gap, threatening the progress that race relations have made through the years. Too bad he didn't spend some time with Martin Luther King. It's just sad.
Senator McCain pussy-footed around the issue by saying that Obama is not responsible for the reverend's views and statements. What bothers me is that Obama has endorsed Wright by his many years of association and affiliation with the man and his church! But I fear that it will make no difference to the star-gazing liberals who worship at the shrine of Obama.
How could Senator Obama attend a church for 20 yrs. and befriend the pastor if he did not agree with the pastors views??He is only denouncing his support now because this has all been exposed. Why didnt he quit the church before all this came out. Surely, he attended sevices and heard all this hatred spewing out of the preachers mouth. He must have agreed or he would not have been a loyal parishiner for 20 yrs. This is scary! Now I worry about what "Changes" he is really wants to make to America.
This is scary! BHO for "President"."
Initially I thought I would vote for Obama but not now after seeing this minister spew his hatred of America on TV.
Pastor's are also called shepherds, they are mentors and leaders. I find it unbelievable that this would be the first instance in 20 years that B.O. would have heard these incendiary comments. Even if that is so, the subtle message over time in his sermons would reflect the same basic philosophy. Mr. Obama will not survive this. White America will not believe these are not his views.
I find it hard to believe that a man you've known for twenty years, consider him your mentor and view him as an "uncle" and you are unaware of these outragious beliefs and views. It doesn't make any sense. You might not agree or adhere to his beliefs, but you would have to have some idea of where this man stands!
I don't believe for one moment that Obama being a member for 20 years of the Trinity Church never heard such imflammatory statements
He should drop out!
sounds like an intellectual idiot; this will sink obama and it should if he goes along with this idiot obama knew what was going on and the true 'colors' are now showing
Barack Obama has admitted using illegal drugs in his youth, he is said to have favored socialist professors during his college years, he has admitted that Tony Rezko raised $250,000 for his first three years as an Illinois state senator, that doing business, in real estate, with Tony Rezko was a lapse in judgment and where his pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr, has been issuing anti-American and anti-white, racist sermons. Barack Obama has said his admitted use of illegal drugs is an indiscretion in judgment, his involvement with tony Rezko is a lapse in judgment and the concepts of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr. are contrary to what he, Obama, believes. However, the fact still remains that Obama did make the overt decision to try drugs, he did make the decision to accept money from and deal with Tony Rezko and he did continue his member ship with Trinity Church and Jeremiah Wright Jr. in spite of what Wright Jr. was preaching. At the very least Obama needs to explain why, when he knew what was going on in Trinity Church, he elected to continue his membership there. Why he elected to have his marriage there. Why he elected to have his children baptized there. And, most of all, why he chose to have Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr. as his personal mentor. How much of what Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr. believed really soaked into Obama’s psyche, in spite of what he says or denies? At the very least, Barack Obama should have terminated his membership in Trinity Church and moved to a church that was not racist and was not anti-American and anti-white. It is hard to believe that Obama did not know what was being preached in his own church and that he was not so offended that he would be moved to change his church membership. Further, if, as Obama says, his relationship with illegal drugs and his relationship with Tony Rezko were “lapses in judgment” how does that stand to put him into the highest position in the land as President of the United States and, arguably, the strongest individual on the planet. Who is to say that, at a crucial time in America’s future, he will not have another “lapse in judgment” when it is crucial to the United States to make the correct decision and follow the correct policy. So, the question remains, is Barack Obama actually for “all” Americans and is he truly qualified to take the highest office in the land and lead the people of the United States in a global community. Certainly Barack Obama is an intelligent man, he is a charismatic man and he is a eloquent man when he is making speeches on the stump. But is he really the man with qualifications to become President of the United States at a time when the experience and leadership, that Obama doesn’t have, is crucial to the interest of the Untied States? Personally, I think not, but let the electorate decide.
This insight on Obama is very scary. Is this the pastor that will swear in Obama at the Whitehouse? These kind's of comments are not good for our country.
I can see right through his words and it was so apparent that he was lieing and decieving our country. If this presidential race is going to be between Hilary and Obama. Unfortunatley, it looks like a woman will be our next bet
The guy is an out and out liar. How an American can vote for this hateful, racist, lowlife liar is beyond me. This guy is evil in human form, and I'm referring to Obama. What we are witnessing is an attempted hostile take over of the United States. May God truly help us if he somehow gets elected by our stupidity.
its damaging, he still hasnt distance himeself, he acted like a true politicans. when I go to church I hear about love an forgiveness, if politics were presented--- Id walk out, these sermons are strictly filled with hate, hes not a man of the choth.
This pastor and more importantly this church is big trouble for Obama. He is done!
its damaging, he still hasnt distance himeself, he acted like a true politicans. when I go to church I hear about love an forgiveness, if politics were presented--- Id walk out, these sermons are strictly filled with hate, hes not a man of the choth.
Wow, in twenty years he should have known something probably was not right with his church views.... unless he thought they had some truth... which is viamently unamerican!
I had doubts all along about Obama. The news about his membership in this church which preaches hate of the white man has confirmed my doubts. I only hope America will wake up before they elect him as President. I hate to think of what will happen to our Country if he is elected.
Has none of you had a close friend who sometimes said crazy things? If not, then get a life! This is a witch hunt and not a desire to engage real issues. Unity and change are possible with Obama and with no one else--all tied to the old guard. If you've never lived outside the comfortable and consuming U.S. you can't know in what contempt we have long been held for our international arrogance and our internal violence and racism. Yes, the chickens are coming home to roost. And our economy can't buy us out of it this time. Only diplomacy and unity and change can.
There is no way that Obama has not been influenced by this prejudice, deplorable, shouting out of control demon mouth low life of a man after 20yrs, and remember Obama is saying he hadn't heard these comments sitting in the pews, No I'm sure he has heard so much more and even worse in the pew in 20yrs and in private, birds of a feather flock together, there all out of control the whole church, no wonder there is still prejudice in this country!!!!
The Pastor was wrong the pulpit is not a place to be preaching a political message seperation of church and state
If he went to church there for 20 years and he never heard anything like that, then he was either asleep or he is not telling the truth. I don't believe you could know someone that long and not have heard some of his views. If you stayed there I would assume you have the same views.
Can't we wait to rip him apart until after we find out for sure Hillary doesn't have a chance. Lets not take a chance folks on running against Hillary.
Omaba is not telling the truth, he had to have known the racist attitude of one whom he calls his mentor. He has lost my vote!!
Barack Obama is a liar and I believe his campaign is over. The pastor of his church has been spewing his hate for years and years. You cannot know someone for 20 years and not know their views on issues. Unbelievable.
This is totally unacceptable. I don't believe Obama has never heard this rhetoric before. Booooooo
It's a big deal because the statements were very anit-America--statements that an enemy of the Country would make-however, I am not sure that Obama personally shares them, but hard to believe he'd continue going to that Church if he vehemedly disagreed with his Pastor......
Give me a break! Obama went to that church for 20 years and he never heard the Pastor say any of those things! Does he think we are stupid? He has no right to be President of this country, he has no right to be a Senator!
Why is there a "Not Sure" option?? That makes no sense! Anyway, I sincerely hope this kills his run at the White Huse. I sincerely pray the brainwashed Looney Left will wake up and see exactly what their team stands for! A racist is a racist and one who follows a racist is probably one as well.
I do not understand why Fox bleeped the word "nigger", but let the words "God damn America!" be aired. Please explain.
Greta, Senator Obama's minister is un-Christian and un-American as well. Obama cannot have been a part of that church for 20 years and "not know" the attitude. That makes him a liar and unfit to hold any elected office in this land. Thank you for the opportunity to speak out. Barbara
I believe this will be detrimental to Obama's campaign. I just hate that it had to happen so late with only a few states left to hold primaries.
HILARY has been charged with playing the race card and most of the media stations have beed eating it up. finally someone had the guts to put down the "OBAMA-AID" and saw through the smoke.OBAMA has been getting away with no questions asked. look at what has turned up in just this short time.
no wonder obama will not wear the american pin i'm not sure he loves our country like we do, AMERICANS beware of this man!!!!!
I think everyone has missed one point. Did you notice the entire congregation supporting and cheering this pastor as he said the awful things about our country? If Obama does not know how this friend of 20 years thinks, and he does not know how the entire congregation thinks, then I believe he is a downright liar.!! He is a part of this church, the congregation, and pastor. You cannot tell me he does not share the same views! If you think about it, this type of thinking is the same as radical moslem teachings. Cindy Standfest Montgomery, Texas
Okay so a grown man is going to ask his pastor what to do in guiding the country? I do not think his pastors views will impact his ability to be our leader.
Obama's wife's comment, now his pastor (uncle, mentor, friend). Now we are seeing the true side. What kind of pastor is that and what Christ is he following - just where is the love???? And Obama sits in that church under that shepherd's teaching. His children are being raised in that church. Look what is being instilled there. He criticizes Hillary Clinton's judgment. What about his????
There is no way that Obama has not been influenced by this prejudice, deplorable, shouting out of control demon mouth low life of a man after 20yrs, and remember Obama is saying he hadn't heard these comments sitting in the pews, No I'm sure he has heard so much more and even worse in the pew in 20yrs and in private, birds of a feather flock together, there all out of control the whole church, no wonder there is still prejudice in this country!!!!
HOW COULD YOU BE A MEMBER OF THAT CHURCH FOR 16 YEARS AND NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR PASTOR IS PREACHING. GIVE ME A BREAK.
How do these recent comments made from the pulpit affect the tax exempt status of the church if pastors are not even allowed to talk about candidates? This becomes a major campaign issue.
I am glad the dirty laundry is coming out now for everyone to see. Hilary has to be eating this up!
i think that Fox new is the real racist, all of their new shows, show black in a negative light. Here in Miami, Fox news and channel seven news seem to think black people don't exist. what we need to do is boycott all Fox show and new nationwide and show their advertisers that we do exist.
I simply cannot believe that someone could attend a church for 20 years (even periodically) and he was unaware that his pastor is a racist? This man is preaching hatred bigotry toward whites and has total disrespect toward America. I believe Barack Obama is a liar!!
He is as scary to me as Lewis Faragon. He sure ditched his Pastor quick...wonder what he will do with others for the bid for the presidency. He is lying..........he had to know.
This is very scary
Its a frightening thought that Obama could be president and has belonged to a church like this. This pastor has extremely strong views obviously and there is no way that he has never heard these types of comments!!
Never would I trust Obama as my commander in chief. You are who you associate yourself with...its just that simple. This standard is the same for all candidates...too bad people didn't ask questions like they should have during the earlier primaries. Now our options are being scraped from the bottom of the barrel.
I truly believe that Obama believes what Rev Wright, Jr has said. He went to that church for 20 yrs. I dont believe that he didnt notice the anti American retorick - He has a crediability problem
If this were a white candidate he would be automatically ostracized. There is no difference between this and a candidate that is a supporter of the KKK.
We really cant attack Obama on this, because, if we do, then we would need to attack McCain too. We need to attack the liberals on the issues
A member in good standing for 20 years, and he never heard these statements in the church? He is obviously not observant enough to be a Senator, muuch less the POTUS (President of the United States)
I am a non-American following the lead up to the American elections with interest. I find Obama’s response to this issue ridiculous. For twenty years he has been attending this church and he states he know nothing about the views and opinion of his “good friend” PAstor Wright. Give me a break. If main stream American Democratic voters believe this rubbish the whole world is in trouble. What will he do if he gains the presidency???????
Obama said he was never in church services when Wright spoke about things he disagreed with, I don't believe that, he's been going to the church for 20 years and in all that time never heard anything offensive to him, hogwash. Obama is not to be trusted. I agree totally with "birds of a feather flock together.
I still believe in Senator Obama.
Does anybody know if Oprah is a member of the same church??....
I still believe in Senator Obama.
Who is running for President? I would not vote for Rev. Wright! If there is any record o fObama making these statements, it would make sense to discus this issue...This is still a free country and inflammatory speeches right or left are still legit.
I do not believe that Barack Obama went to that church for 20 years and never heard those kind of comments. I think someone should ask him if he was wearing ear plugs to listen to the games that are on on Sundays.
I'm a republican who is voting for McCain, but I've pondered if we did not win, who would be the lessor of the two evils. I decided I would rather see Obama win rather than Hillary, since I'm tired of Clintons. Now, I've changed my mind. How could Obama have stayed in that church with its racial, hatred views. I'll be scared to death if he wins. We could have another civil war.
I was leaning towards Obama but not now. It scares me to think of him running this country and what kind of people he would surround himself with in the White House. Wake up people, look at what kind of damage he could do as president. I am a registered democrat and Hillary's new #1 fan. At least we know she loves this country. PS I guess we know why his wife is so angry, she sounds like their pastor.
If Billy Graham's Anti-Semitic comments did not stop Bill Clinton from using Graham as a spiritual guide > What is the diference. Priests who are pediphiles should not stop Catholics from running for office
I'm a Hillary supporter and have been waiting for the press, and America, to wake up to some of the downfalls of voting for an "unknown" like Senator Obama. What really concerns me is that Michelle Obama can say she's only now proud to be an American and Obama's pastor can say GD America, but none of this is supposed to affect our view of Senator Obama? What is he, the next Teflon president? It's unfortuante. I thought he could have a huge future at some point in the future, but now he might be down and out for good. But this will only divide the Democratic Party, and America, even more.
If Billy Graham's Anti-Semitic comments did not stop Bill Clinton from using Graham as a spiritual guide > What is the diference. Priests who are pediphiles should not stop Catholics from running for office
I agree with Joyce - pretty convenient that the pastor is going on leave now.... hmmmm..... I don't think BHO should be president. He is aligned with anti-Americans. It just doesn't make sense that someone who feels this way would even want to be president. What kind of change does he want?
Obahma is lying thru his teeth. He knows darn well that Wright is a black bigot preaching hatred. His wife also said she hasn't been proud of the USA 'til now. Give me a break!!!!11111
The Reverend Wright demonstrates that under cover of the cross and in the name of organized religion, our freedoms are being destroyed from within. It is ironic that Senator Obama may be derailed by someone of his own race and in the scheme of things, this is tragic.
If this is the type of people Obama received his spiritual guidance from and looked up to, it is a scary thought to think that if President - who would be in his cabinet and who would be his advisors!! Now we know where Michelle Obama came from with her bigoted comments.
The senators comments were a disection of words and not honest. Teh CDs were titled the BEST of the reverend. These wer not private or off standard by that title. The content in CDs for sales is evidence that this was the base platform of the retoric his presence on the pulpit. TEH redirection of the Democrats to Mccain is proof they understand that racisim is racisim no matter who directs it at whom
I wanted to believe in change...but this really brings to light how little we know about Sen. Obamas' thought process and values. Is Sen. Obama that ignorant that he (in 20 years) never heard the nonsense that came out of the pastors mouth? How dumb is that!
The guy who took over for this "pastor" is just a younger clone. He needs to be investigated also. Bet he will lay low until after the election.
Deplorable - Obama bases his campaign on his "better judgement"... The horrendous statements made by his pastor of 20 years show very clearly to the American people just what kind of judgement they are in for with a President Obama. I hope people come to their senses before it is too late.
If Billy Graham's Anti-Semitic comments did not stop Bill Clinton from using Graham as a spiritual guide > What is the diference. Priests who are pediphiles should not stop Catholics from running for office
This is very alarming. The fact that he has been associated with this type of hatred for 20 years as well as his wife too. Her slip-up that she has just recently begun to like America probably was influenced a bit by her association with Mr. Hip-Hop Wright. Wake up Americans! Where is our integrity?
I am happy to see Obama denounce this pastor. But, he has been around this pastor for 20+ years. Why would someone stay with a church with a pastor that preaches such hate? This cannot be new. I am finding it hard to believe that some of these beliefs are not within Obama. I keep hearing that the Democratic primaries are not about race, but this just brings it to the forefront further. If a white preacher said the same in reverse he would be expelled and called a racist. Racism means prejudges or intolerance against another race. Well, Rev. Wright you are a racist. It does apply to you. It does not only apply to white people, and if nothing else comes out of this election I hope people will start to understand that.
We are in a wonderful country. The black community needs to stop making excuses for their trials. If Oprah can come from Mississippi and make billions, then ALL of the blacks should shut up and just do something. I, as an educated WHITE Mississippian, am tired of hearing the "poor pitiful me" excuse. I will support ONLY MY WHITE RACE!!!!!!!! And it is because of men like Obama's preacher. Because HE is a racist, I will be a racist.
All I need to hear is this: A leader utters the unthinkable "God damn America" Another leader goes along with these words until he's up against the wall. In my eyes, Obama is duplicitous and he is DONE. And I mean DONE FOREVER. Do not damn my country.
I believe he LIED in front of all of us! He knew all this was happening...he cannot deny it..unless he is deft, dumb and blind....I believe he is just trying to get past this one and it probably is going to hurt him badly. However, the black people only see the color not the person....they are blind to him and anything he has or has not done wrongly.....He knew a year ago about all of this...we cannot believe he has been in this church for this long and didn't hear or see any of this...well BS...as the Pastor said! I am not a bit unhappy of a WOMAN or a BLACK (Man or woman) would run for present....but the crowd you hang with is who you begin to look like! I am an independent and will not vote for The Junior Senator!
Senator Obama has just lost his bid for nomination. Hillary is now a shoo-in.
I think Obama lied when he said he wasn't aware of the extent of the pastor's remarks and that he didn't personally hear any of them. If he went to the church for 20 years there is no way he didn't know his pastor was anti- American. Obama is a liar trying to save his political career. Now his wife's remarks about "the first time I am proud to be an American" make sense. I doubt if anyone attending that church is proud to be an American.
How can Obama pass clearance for National Security with these affiliates? He needs to resign now.
Why would anyone be suprised. Michelle O has already told us that "for the first time in my life I am proud to be an American" Sounds like something the raciest (reverend?) said.
I am so sad. I think God must be crying over Wright saying G..d... America. I am sad for the people in his congregation, their children, the people that meet them on the street. They all need our prayers for the hate that must be inside them. I am also sad that all of the hope that Obama talked about is shadowed by this hate his pastor of 20 years speaks about. I thought a lot of Obama, now I am just sad for him and his family and for his children. I wondered where racism started, now I know it is church's like Obama's. It is certainly not in my church, or my school, or in my family.
hi greta i just dont beleive what obama is saying about this he was stumbling over his words with major thanks
Jesus was a jew, and the real jews were black. the bible say so in the book of Revelations, the reason the white jews don't believe in the new testament of the bible is because the book of Revelations says the jew are not jews but the son of Satan, and the Quran curses the red Arabs as the worst of the muslims, so the devils seeds would be brothers,and look a like huh? this is sound right reasoning, My question is why can't 2 brothers kids can't get along. nuwabu
What a joke, saying he never heard these views. Pastor Wright is a idiot, and needs promoted to all the american people. I hope that americans are not so stupid that they do not see the light! I think his presidental campaign is history. The Pastor sounds like a Hitler wanna be!
In Major Garrets interview, Barack Obama, after saying that he attends church regularly albeit sporadically, claims that he didn't hear Wrights remarks, asserting they were an anomaly, then states these statements "were strung together from hundreds of sermons?" Now were they an anomaly or were they spoken in hundreds of sermons? It can't be both.
The interviewer did not stop Obama from spinning and ducking the questions. Oboma is done as he should have been if the press asked the right questions months ago.
How SAD! We all thought he would be a breathe of FREEZE AIR!!!! It seems like they are all alike! Just can't trust any of them!!! How very SAD!!!
I am so sad. I think God must be crying over Wright saying G..d... America. I am sad for the people in his congregation, their children, the people that meet them on the street. They all need our prayers for the hate that must be inside them. I am also sad that all of the hope that Obama talked about is shadowed by this hate his pastor of 20 years speaks about. I thought a lot of Obama, now I am just sad for him and his family and for his children. I wondered where racism started, now I know it is church's like Obama's. It is certainly not in my church, or my school, or in my family.
You do not sit in a pastor's pew for 20 years, get married by him, call him a mentor, use one of his speech titles as a title for your own book, put him on your advisory council, and then claim you didn't know that he had those incredibly hateful positions. Unless you agreed with them and felt quite comfortable with them... Obama will blackwash the whole issue...or falsely apologize as if he did not know...and the leftist media will give him a pass.
ALL: I have been an OBAMA fan for the past 6 months. And now I can see that OBAMA is an ultra HATE AMERICA LIBERAL. I voted for him . . . and I love to hear him speak! BUT NOW since he WILL NOT distance himself from his 20 year pastor -- I'm finished with him. I will not vote for him . . . and he is off my LIST! I was an avid supporter. I am a conservative white professor, and I believed OBAMA until now. His pastor preaches hate and swears saying GOD D*mn America. I am appaled at this hate speech. OBAMA is weak and slow to do anything about this. I no longer trust OBAMA! dr.m.
Someone should question Major Garrett. This is just a ploy by republicans to end Obama's run for president. No big surprises - they want Bush 3 in the whitehouse.
Well, what I really hear Obama saying as he is making his clam to fame relative to "judgement" is that he lacks such. Does he honestly think Americans believe he went to this church 20 years and did not hear these horrid comments? And does he think for one second that Americans have not noticed his refusal to honor the flag of the country he wants to lead? And does he realize that he has done more to divide this country than anyone has to unite this county? Who could ever believe his judgement would bring forward decisions that would be in the best interest of this country? He makes George Bush look like a red rose.
Obama should DROP OUT of the Presidential race. He HAD to know how his preacher felt about our country and to say he never heard him talk about our country and whites like he did. What else will we find out? Get rid of him before its to LATE!!!
If Obama is not smart enough to realize what kind of person Rev White is after attending his church for 20 years, then he is not smart enough to be our president!
This man has scared me for some time, now I'm terrified he may be elected! He has been affiliated to this man for a long time and his wife's comments make sense now. Gotta run not walk to give Ms Clinton a donation.
Political leaders should not be held accountable for all the view points of their supporters. However, if they are directly related or members in good standing in the church or the association they are in affect showing their support of the association or preacher. Senator Obama has been a member in good standing for 20 years at Rev. Wright's church, I believe that Obama's true nature and attitude about "White" America has and is being revealed. I also believe that this reveals why Obama will not wear an American Flag on his lapel or show proper allegiance to the flag when the national anthem has been played. America better wake up and notice the wolves tail sticking out of the sheep's garments. Obama should strongly condemn the attitude and actions of his pastor and he needs to put the "American" flag on his lapel. After all this press I am sure "White" America is a "mean country". I would like to know of Senator Oboma's position on "White" America and if he is in any way in agreement with Rev. Wright's Anti-America hate filled religion. Obama should resign from the senate and the presidential campaign.
I saw the Interview with Obama...he is a liar and a bigot He is secretive and sneaky His campaign is dead I will campaign against him till my shoes wear out. How can he think he can get past this one is news to me Down with Racism, down with treasonists, long live a free and fair America We can't afford this bigot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I find it hard to believe that Sen Obama who has been attending this church for in excess of 20 yrs, has never been there for these horrible anti-American "sermons" and he is trying to let the American people believe he never knew of these comments! Obama considers this pastor his mentor, spiritual advisor, and a spiritual advisor for his campaign, so who are we to believe he does not think this way if he holds this guy in such a high stature in his life to marry him, and to baptize his children! Wake up America, there is alot of questions about this guy!
Finally we are learning more about the REAL BO. Better to learn now, before it's too late. Has anyone ever heard BO say "God bless America" at the end of his speeches??
OBAMA OBVISOUSLY AGREES WITH THIS PREACHER. I BELIEVE BEING A BLACK MAN IN A WHITE MAN'S WORLD IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT NO MATTTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE. IT HAS BEEN HARD FOR THE BLACK MAN AND WOMAN BUT MOSTLY FOR THE BLACK MAN. THERE COULD HOWEVER BE A UNDERLINING AGENDA THAT OBAMA HAS AND WE AMERICANS NEED TO REFLECT ON THIS. WHAT DICISIONS WILL HE BE MAKING FOR THE COUNTRY? IS THIS PREACHER GOING TO HAVE A GREAT IMPACT. AFTER ALL HE DID NAME HIS BOOK AMONG OTHER THINGS.
I have been giving thought to consider Obama for President; however, after viewing his affliliation with Wright, no way. In fact, Obama wiggled too much when he answered some of the questions which gave the impression he was not telling the truth.
If I closed my eyes, it could have been a radical muslim chanting the reteric instead of an spiritual advisor to who might be the next president of the United States of America. I believe this will be the end of Mr. Obama. His explanation was an insult. Does he really expect us to believe he did not know the ramblings of this anti American. I think he has rightfully lost the white vote. Citizens who were willing to entrust and accept an African American for President, will now be turned off and afraid.
How come you are ignoring the inflammatory comments of Rod Parsley (John McCain's spiritual advisor) and Pastor Hagey?? And where was the outrage when Rev. Gerry Fallwell and Pat Robinson blamed America for 9/11??? I am seeing a double standard here. You cannot talk about Obama's Pastor without talking about these equally outrageous "ministers" of the Gospel.
I had heard previously about the church's affiliations but disregarded it because I like Obama. He has no business running this country with his anti-America beliefs. I would rather have Hilary in office than Obama after hearing all of his "associations". The comments by his 20 year long time friend and Pastor made me want to vomit. I don't care what he has to say...three strikes let's hope he's out! I will not vote for him! PERIOD!!!! Why not get Bin Laden in here to run the country, then the chickens would really have come to roost. Makes me sick!!!!! Lincoln was right we will be destroyed "from within".
It's no question to me now that the American People will overwhelmingly vote for Senator McCaine, who is a decorated war hero with decades of years of experience in the Senate over a 40 something Senator with less experience and seeminly counts his friends and spiritual advisers on the far left.
Time to drop out or the Democrats don't stand a chance
If you want to know who a person is then look at his friends. I think that says it all.
The interviewer let it slide by when asked about whether Obama was present and heard the statements from his pastor. He said that he was never present when MOST of those statements were made. I want to know what statements he actually did hear, and then continued to be a close friend and supporter of Dr. Wright. Jerimiah Wright is a racist of the highest caliber.
Barak Obama is a disgrace to this Country and he should be stripped of his citizenship. We need people to whom we can look up to. Leaders who can inspire us NOT divide us. Him and his wife have no place among us not to mention leading this GREAT Country back on its rightful place as the shining light in a world who is turning darker by the day!
I'm nearly 50 years old & have seen some of the stupidest things in the world occur due to poor leadership in the white house. How are we going to make it better by allowing a Muslim into the presidency? I can't believe it's gone this far! Wake up Americans!!! Let's get out heads out of the sand!!!
Obama has known this man for 20 years, has sat and listened to this man's sermons for at least 15 years, and yet, he claims not to have known about Jeremiah Wright's racist beliefs? Sorry, but that just doesn't seem credible to me. Did the pastor always check to see if Obama was in attendance before he spouted this racist diatribe? Please.
No one is as innocent as Obama claims to be and few are as hateful as his pastor. How could any American vote for Obama. Amen.
I will be stunned if blacks and whites continue to vote for Obama If elected president Iwonder what his cabinet would look like? That is worrisome
I am a pastor as well. I believe Jeremiah Wright's comments are not only racist and anti-American, but I believe them to be anti-Christian as well. How this man can call himself a voice for God is beyond me. And the idea that Barack Obama claims he has been a member of this church, and under this pastor, for 20 years and didn't know of his anti-American, racist views is nothing short of a farce. I denounce both of these men as credible and seriously question their judgement and integrity.
I think this is serious for Obama. Although he may not have heard these comments at church, he must have been exposed to this while being mentored for twenty years. Everyone is titled to their opinions, as his pastor is. Perhaps Obama only believes a very small part of these statements. But even believing some of what his pastor says makes me question his ability to guide this country without having some kind of influence from this person. I like Obama. Although Americas motives may not be the purest at all times, but hey you could be living under a Saddam.
I am appalled that this country can't see what is going on around us with Obama. Back when this country's reputation meant something and families meant something, Obama would have been arrested for treason by just associating himself with these people. They hung a woman when A. Lincoln was assinated just for letting a group of men talk in her boarding house. If you ask me, we need to go back to those days when AMERICA meant something to Americans and the rest of the world. No wonder they call us "The Great Satan". This is the scariest election ever and we need to wake up.
IT DOES NOT SUPRISE ME...HE IS GOING ALONG WITH HIS CAMPAIGNE SLOGAN FOR CHANGE AND HE IS AS THE STORY COMES OUT ...HE IS CHANGING HIS VIEWS AS HE NEEDS TO EXPLAIN THIS CRASY PASTORS COMMENTS......DOES HE REALY THINK THAT WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN BELIEVE THAT HE WAS NOT PRESENT FOR EVEN ONE OF THOSE SPEECHES CONDEMING AMERICA....OBAMA wake up we are not that stupid..good luck you will realy need it now!!!!! change your good at it !!!
How obsurd! Going to a church for 20 years and now just realizing your pastor/mentor is racist. Thank God we discovered this information before the election and not after. There should not be no black or white, we are all equal. One America!!!
Coupled with his wife's comments, this is huge! It's frightening to think that Obama might be our next president!
This is racism and hate preaching. It's on their church website that they only pledge allegiance to the African flag. This alone show Obama's anti american support. Obama has to support this hate preaching or he wouldn't have stayed there 18 years and been such close friends with this preacher. He knows what's going on there. He's not eligible for President of the United States.
Sen. Obama is totally disengenuous. He and his wife not only continued to attend the church but took their children there is hear that horrendous filth. I could almost believe that the Black Panthers are back. As a mother, I would and have left churches based upon what I percieved to be covert racism. Imagine allowing one's children to know of those disgusting beliefs!
What this man says from the pulpit is not remotely related to Christianity. It is pure, twisted hatred.
Hi Greta; Wow! If a white preacher would have stood up in the pulpit and said even 1/2 the things this man said, it would been bye-bye to their non-profit status. Also, the charge of racism would have been immediate and the ACLU would have been all over their church. By the way, if we cannot advertise and run a pageant called, "Miss White Pageant" why can the black's have "Miss Black Pageant?" When I commented on this happening in Ardmore, OK my comments were blocked by the Ardmoreite.com crew. You see, the blacks have free speech, but we don't. I respect all races, but I don't go around slamming them. Why should we be their punching bags and have no right to defend our honor? I truly believe that we are ALL created equal. There is not one person that has a higher value on their life than the life of another color; whether that be white, black, hispanic...whatever....we are all equals and should respect each other as such. Darlene Woods
I am a registered Republican, and had considered voting for Obama, but no longer will do that. His response to questions regarding this subject are not enough to convince me that he did not know of this minister's views. 20 years and he did not know this? I think not.
Leave Obama and his wife alone. Tell the truth racist white america! Slavery was mean and cruel! Dropping the Nuclear bomb was wrong! Admit your mistakes, THIS IS 2008. STOP HATING THE INTELLIGENT BLACK MAN FOR MAKING YOU FACE THE TRUTH! MAN UP RACIST AMERICA! MANUP! **IF THIS ENDS OBAMA's PRESIDENTIAL CHANCE. THAN AGAIN YOU WILL HAVE SHOWN YOUR TRUE RACIST COLOR!! I WILL STILL PRAY FOR YOU1 SINCE YOUR ARROGANCE PREVENTS YOU FROM TELLING THE TRUTH!!!
I think that Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr has every right to speak like that. As a white american young adult I feel the same as he does. It has nothing to do with race or religion or anything like that. I hate what America has become. I love the ideal America Barack could provide. This will not effect my vote at all!!!
If anyone could believe that he has never heard any of the comments made by this preacher, than he is either lying about his attendance, or just covering his true belief. He is a racist or he would not belong to this preacher's church.
No one is as innocent as Obama claims to be and few are as hateful as his pastor. How could any American vote for Obama. Amen.
Brandon, this is a major issue...quit your rhetoric and see the reality of the seriousness of this situation.
This is another mess for the Senator. I am a Republican but I take no joy in this any more than I did over the "political suicide" of Governor Spitzer. I am reminded however of an old quote You shall know the character orf a man by the company he keeps. Tony Resco William Ayres Pastor Wright (Wrong) Indirectly Louis Farakhan What more do I need to know about him...his party affiliation is irrelevant. He is not qualified to the President of the United States. It does however make me sad. Skip
People should choose their friends (and pastors) carefully. It is what it is.
Obama is done. Only thing left is the bleeding. Enjoy the free ride now Hillary (oh man 20 years of Clintons and Bushs and now we have a potential for 8 more). Why can't they just go away!
I believe that both senators Obama and Clinton are allowing the media to place harm on their campaigns trying to hold them accountable for others people's statements. I Think that both Obama and Clinton need to stop apologizing for things they didnt do and focus on this campaign cause for what they dont feed into you all will have less to talk about on the news. I and my spouse like them both so we split our vote. Its not their fault for what others say Obama wasnt in the church, and Hillary wasnt on stage. Get over it give us some real news.
he is lying thru his nose, he wishes now that he would have stayed Muslim in the public eye. 20 years and he never heard of anything that we have seen? where has he been? and he wants to be President? sounds like pathological liar like Bill Clinton was. he will look you in th eye and he makes you believe anything you want to hear. by the way Hillary is no better.
Sen.McCain's clergy did not 'GOD Dam America'. He preached against legalizing Sodomy. NOT Homosexuality! Sodomy - try to sodomize me or mine and I'll show you some southern Justice
The whole thing scares me, I am not an Obama supporter but after seeing his preacher saying all of those horrible things it really scares me to think that maybe the people of our country are being fooled by him. To me this preacher is as racist as the people he is calling racist and if he hates our country so bad why doesn't he move to Iraq and see how he would like it there!
If this does not break the hearts of many americans what will? this guy has lied to all of his young supporters . You do not sit under a pastor for twenty years and not put on his mantel . I know I can't vote for him this is a big deal breaker . Did the Democratic leadership know of this they should all be voted out and I am a life time Democrat of 35 years or should I say was.
My bullschitte indicators are off the charts on this one! Obama is not being truthful about what he knew about his pastor of 20 years!
Obama has been caught. This explains why he won't wear an American flag pin on his lapel.
i wonder if obama and his wife sat in that black church while the rest of those people shouted, clapped raise their hands danced and jumped the pews, i guess they just set back and folded their arms in disagreement of his hate filled messages. Much in the same way the far left talks and the way Farakan speaks while Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton agrees with this hate speech. If this had been a white Man, How dreadful the consequences would be, especially with the ACLU jumping into get a government lawsuit. Pathetically Sad for America. I hope America can see through this net of Obama.
C'mon everyone! BHO is a tool of the far left and this is how they view America! What amazes me is that people actually believe this is THE GUY to bring America together. How???? With friends like Rev. Wright and the former head of the Weather Underground, I'm just curious as to why people think he can do this!
Obama president of the US? He is HIDING WAY TOO MUCH....! And he is just worried about Hillary publishing her financial records?!? He has been hiding his pastor, hiding his faith (muslim), covering his wifes mouth as not to piss off too many Americans. Would meet with the axis of evil leaders?!? NO FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is the matter with this country? This is the top democratic canidate? Wow...we are in a world of $*%T.
Sooner or later your true colors will show, as water will always seek it's level.
There is no way his pastor had this strong, vehement attitude and he was obvlivious to it after 20 years! If he is that naive he should not be president, if he's being dishonest he should not be president. Either way, he's FRIED!
Obama is the Manchurian candidate!
I was going to vote for Sen Obama if he got the democratic nomination. After watching the Fox news I am going all the way with Mrs Clinton. There is no way I would want to see Obama get the nomination after being a menber of that church since l992.
this is all very disturbing!!!!!
Obama and Bill should go to lying school together! To say he did not know the preacher was spouting this Un-American trash is an absolute lie! He better hope he did not put a check into the plate on the days he spoke this garbage.
This will cost Obama his run for the presidency.
C'mon Greta -- Obama by his own admission frequently attended Pastor Wright's church and either knew or should have known of his extremist diatribes. Obama's statements now are nothing more than political cover. If the Democrats are smart, they'll nominate Clinton who is the only candidate that can defeat McCain.
Greta, Senator Obama said that he took the Rev. Mr. Wright's recorded sermons with him when he went to Harvard. With so many of these hateful, hurtful things Wright said now coming out, are we to believe that he was not saying them back then? The bio on Wright says that he is the son of a Baptist minister but he could not find a chuch because of his radical views on black power until he was offered a church of less than 100 members, Trinity. If his rhetoric was known then, are we now to believe that he kept it to himself until recently and Obama was totally in the dark about this? I think not.
If I closed my eyes, it could have been a radical muslim chanting the reteric instead of an spiritual advisor to who might be the next president of the United States of America. I believe this will be the end of Mr. Obama. His explanation was an insult. Does he really expect us to believe he did not know the ramblings of this anti American. I think he has rightfully lost the white vote. Citizens who were willing to entrust and accept an African American for President, will now be turned off and afraid.
Barack Obama's pathetic interview performance was almost as damning as the footage of his pastor's tirades. This is outrageous. There was obviously an OH SH*% moment this afternoon in the Obama camp. What you see is what you get -- WATCH CAREFULLY! Hitler was charasmatic as hell, too!
How can Obama expect us to believe that he did/does not know the feelings and opinions of the preacher in the church he has been a member of for so long as well as a family friend. Regardless of whether or not Obama "heard" the comments said by Mr. Wright, there can be no mistake that he and his wife knew of the feelings he espouses about America. And for him to remain a member of the church speaks volumes about how he truly feels.
A person's church is a reflection of a person's value. A church's pastor is the leader that supposedly leads by example. If Senator Obama does not have the judgment to understand what kind of assiciation he belongs to and who are the leaders, how can his judgment be trusted anywhere else?
I am struck by the audience cheers of agreement with the preacher and that my support of affirmative action to speed the process of racial equality in America has earned me the hatred of black Americans. I fear that this display of black Americans toward those who aren't black will throw us back 50 years.
What is very important about watching the scenes of Obama's pastor is to watch the congregation's reaction to his comments. Their reaction is that of excitement and dancing and pumping their fists. From these actions it is obvious that this is not something that ocurrs only on a few occassions, but occurrs on a regular basis and is something that they are used to, and obviously, look forward to with jumping out of their seats excitement. So, for Obama to say in his response that these type of comments did not occur on a regular basis or he would have left that 'church' is obviously not true. This type of sermon was expected, welcomed, and praised in that 'church'.
I believe it will be a big deal especially if someone is able to catch a glimpse of the senator in one of those clips. I think there is an excellant chance of that happening. There is a chance that someone in Hillary's group is looking right now.
Give me a break!! All anyone has to do is look at the churches own web site to know what that church is all about. If Obama were president, he would see to it that all of our money is sent to Africa.Doesnt he realize that he is AMERICAN...not AFRICAN? Thats why there is no patriotism in that church, they consider themselves Africans, and preach it from the pulpit.
The Rev Wright video clips remind me of the old Hitler film clips, both men trying to fire up their audiences with such enthusiastic hatred.
He has lost my vote. I do not belive Barack. Madam president here we come.
He needs to drop out. With the comments from his wife and now this? He's done.
Ok lets be real. Obama is in agreeance with this Reverend who is considered racist. Doesn't even make since. His own mother is white, his grandparents who raised him is white and he is half white. So get real. Talk to all the white people who are apart of that congregation. You right wingers will try anything. I am a white Pennsylvanian that will be pulling the lever for Barack Obama. Yes We Can
Stick a fork in O'bama...he done!
This is such a BIG deal...thank God that Fox is covering it-as the mainstream media is ignoring it. I agree with Jim (bird of a feather)...We teach our children about preception and that if they hang around with kids that make bad choices-they will be considered guilty by association-this goes for adults too. Also-if he wasn't "buying" what Rev Wright was selling-he could have always gone to another church-but he has been there for 20 years! Add this to Michelle Obama's "odd" remarks about her "pride" in the country-and it really leads one to question. I am afraid that this controversy could set race relations in this country back 50 years...I am even more afraid that this man could get elected-hopefully this will open some peoples eyes...this is a BIG Deal!!!!!! Let's hope America wakes up in time!
For him to say that he would have left the church had he "heard this repeatedly" means that he HAS heard it. Obviously, this minister didn't just come up with this recently. I think he has no chance to win and I was voted for him in primary! That won't happen again.
This is typical American left speaking, this person in my opinion has shown no acceptable reason to be believed to have any type if theoligical acceptance by our maker. Using foul and vial language in front of children alone shows that this person is not right with his maker. May we be blessed with Amercian's coming to the defense of our core values and lift up our maker and not condemn our neighbors - prior to voting someone of Barrack's beliefs to our Commander in Chief.
This demonstrates several things about Obama that have not been well known in the popular media. 1) He does not exercise god judgement in who he associates with. He has several campaign team members that are free lancing on a world stage. He has been financially inter-involved with an alleged campaign finance law breaker. And, now we see a long term association with a person that describes our country in the most extreme terms. 2) This demonstrates how little Obama has been vetted by the public and the media. He had virtually an uncontested campaign for US Senate in IL, was missing in action in many votes in the Illinois Senate and has not been effectively examined by the media or his own voters. We all would welcome a new faces into the political process, but they must permit themselves, their views and their associations to be well understood before being entrusted with our freedom and the most powerful job in the world. We don't know who Barack Obama is. It is time to know.
Time to go BHO. You are in over your head.
I don't believe a word of what Barack Obama said in the interview. For someone who gives such inspirational speechs, he sure had a hard time with this statement. He's done!
I think the messages of seperatism and difference that Reverand Wright has preached will derail Obama's campaign. How can a country possibly move forward under Obama's leadership if his faith has grown from a house of worship that preaches focuses on racial intolerance?
I find it highly unlikely that Senator Obama could attend the same church for so many years and not be fully aware of the hatred and bias toward America and the white race demonstrated by his preacher. Obama may not have been present to hear the exact words of his preacher that have been aired on TV recently, but the message cannot have been that different on many other occasions.
I have been a Republican all my life. I was taken in by Obama. He had me feeling hope, and I really felt I would vote for him if he were the Dem. candidate in November. After listening to that hatred filled militant black man that is his pastor, I have to change my mind. There is absolutely NO CHANCE that Obamas did not know this is where this guy was coming from. The Pastor was whipping the black congregation up into a froth, setting race relations back centuries. I am shocked and dismayed. Now, I don't even know if I will vote at all, because I surely won't vote another Clinton into the White House. This is a sad day for America, and race relations within our country. Kathy
i can not believe what what was said and that obama did not seem to really take it all that seriously,i cant believe this was his first sermon about this...all i heard was whites are bad,nothing about what you should here in church!!obama is a fake man,but he can only climb out of so many holes.
I not surprised by what happen. You need remember it was just a few weeks that Michelle Obama is just now proud to be American. That makes you wonder if the were at some of the sermons. Minister do not just change there sermon just because of who is in the congregation. Many Minister preach on sermons for several weeks.
To sit there and look into this mans eyes and hear him say he's never heard these type of coments while attending for 15 to 20 years? Are we all that gullible? If so, God Bless America, because we're really going to need it if the democrats continue to gaze lovingly into our eyes and lie.
I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop if any of the newsmedia will bother to enlighten us about Rezco trial and the billionaire Iraqi connections.
All during these primaries, I have been praying that Americans, who have given Obama and Michelle the benefit of the doubt, would somehow find out the truth about their real motives for wanting to hold the most powerful job in America. Hopefully, this time has come. Thank you, Greta, for being one of the best on TV.
This in my opinion is a direct reflection on the real convictions that Senator Obama really believes... and this Pastor and church should have their tax exempt status removed...even though there have been great strides in the racial divide in America, this can only do more to set us back...why do blacks continue to press the whites for racial bias...when over and over key black leaders promote racial bias...
If Obama wins the Democratic nomination, then David Duke still has a chance. Same message - different color. I'm disgusted by the rhetoric on both ends.
Obama is an angry black man just like his Satanic reverend Right. How any white person could ever vote for such a person as obama, who regularly attended this bizarro world of a church is beyond me. Obama lived the American dream and he knows it. I thought he wasn't "black enough" and now all of a sudden he is. Why isn't his reverend teaching about unity and forgiveness in the pulpit instead of disunity and pure evil from the pit of hell. Osama... sorry, Obama should drop out and get the heck out of my country. Him or his reverend do not belong here.
I'm glad Newt brought out the fact that after 20 years of hearing this kind of hate speach - you're bound to start believing it...AND it is no coincidence that Obama will not pledge allegiance to the US Flag, not even to wear a lapel pin. And he really is suffering because his ancestors were inslaved....Harvard....oh my what a tough life! I'm not saying slavery was right - but HE and his WIFE certainly are better off than the folks in Mosambique and Nigeria! Aweful American who DOES salute the flag and LOVES my country....
Wright is a black racist. This type of speech is reprehensible, especially in a so-called 'church.' The only other person that I have heard speak in this manner is Fred Phelps, so perhaps he and Wright should join forces. There is an old saying, "If you lie with dogs, you get fleas." B. Hussein has fleas.
After listening to the news these past few days (atleast from non biased stations), America needs to re-evaluate their thoughts on Obama. A man, that stated he's known the reverand for 20years, can not, and look me in the eye, didn't know what this reverand was about! Perhaps Obama isn't a racist, perhaps he "loves" all Americans, but it leads me to believe he wants you to believe this to become President. As much as I don't want Hillary to run, Obama really needs to drop out!
By: Tawny Ameling | Mar 14, 22:16 I think that Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr has every right to speak like that. As a white american young adult I feel the same as he does. It has nothing to do with race or religion or anything like that. I hate what America has become. I love the ideal America Barack could provide. This will not effect my vote at all!!! ________________________________________ Example of a useful idiot above!
I am insulted that he actually believes people are so stupid to believe on one hand he has attended this church for 20 years, was married by Pastor Wright, had his children baptized by Pastor Wright, characterizes Pastor Wright as an "uncle" and lists him as a spiritual adviser, yet on the other hand accept his version that this is the first time he's ever heard Pastor Wright make these reprehensible statements? Please.....If Senator Obama is as close to Pastor Wright as he's claimed in the past, I guarantee he has heard MUCH WORSE. This is an outrage!!!!
I caucused for Obama in WA State.. If I knew he belonged to a racist and anti semetic church I would have went for hillary. I attend a church and most every church (his included) states their fundamental beliefs. That church belief system is very racist. As a white male who caused for 2 hours in obama's behalf I am ashamed to learn his affiliation. If I attended a church that espoused the same views but replaced black with white I would be guilty of attanding a white supremacy church. Sen Obamas judgement is in question after spending 20 years at that church..
Senator Obama says he never heard his pastor say this things. All well and good, but now that he has heard, as have the rest of us, he should take his family to a church with true Christian, biblical values. There is a church in Chicago whose Pastor is Bill Winston. I've heard his teaching and his teaching and preaching is Bible-based. Good teaching to sit under, Mr. and Mrs. Obama, and raise your children.
Surely Obama isn't going to further insult our intelligence by trying to persuade us that in twenty years he didn't have this guy figured out. This association only further proves this guy is a left-wing madman.
Obama’s a terrorist this man embraces a man that preaches hate sounds more like a devil to me and they should both be shot and ran outta town
I saw the interview with Major Garrett and believe that senator Obama was not telling the truth about not having heard Rev. Wright say things like this about America many times before. I would not entrust senator Obama as president of these United States.
i think that Fox new is the real racist, all of their new shows, show black in a negative light. Here in Miami, Fox news and channel seven news seem to think black people don't exist. what we need to do is boycott all Fox show and new nationwide and show their advertisers that we do exist.
Obama's statement that after 20 years of involvement with this man he did not know this man hated America is not believable.
You don't attend a church where you disagree with the minister's philosophy. BO should also know that you are judged by the company that you keep. If he didn't know what was being said, he should have found out. It's a little to late for him to try and distance himself now, don't you think?
If Obama really didn't know about this, in the 20 years he has attended this Church, what does that say about his judgement? He apparently "didn't know" al Qaeda had bases in Iraq either. What else isn't he aware of?
You got to be kidding me. If that wasn't the biggest back peddle I've ever seen I don't what is. If he jumps ship that quick I don't want him any where close to the white house. Keith M
I voted "not sure." The reason is that I believe it should be a big deal but the public seems to be so blinded by Senator Obama's "star power" that this will result in being "not a big deal."
Sorry but this Rev. could be the Antichrist. This Presidential race is nothing but Racist on Obama's part, and as far as his wife, if she isn't happy with America why in the Hell is she here.
I think he is fooling himself to think this can get by the American People. You can't possibly sit in church over a period of 20 years and not know what the preacher is all about.
Compared to The Clintons, he has fewer issues. Just wait til they start running the videos on The Clinton scandals. Why is the news media ignoring all the juicy stories about the murder of Vince Foster, selling pardons, etc etc.
I can not believe that in this day (post 9/11) that he would be allowed or our government would allow this man to continue to run for President. If a student makes statements like these, they are immediatly investigated for terrorism. Although the words were not uttered directly from his mouth, Obama is a follower and supporter of this man. Is this reverse racism? I am appauled at this Preacher's teachings, if this is what goes on in predominately African American churches, no wonder we have racism in this country.
If it is necessary for one to take every aspect of Obama's life to attempt to find flaws and shortcomings then that is fine. One must understand and take these comments that the Rev. preached with a grain of salt. It is disgusting to shun a man for the words of another. Was Hillary Clinton responsible for the racist words of her husband?! Was she condemned for having racist notions and tendencies. Let this man run without bringing unnecessary outlandish claims. Let us all recall anything we have ever heard from our religious leaders, have you agreed with everything that was said, all at times!?!?!?!?!
Obviously, someone has been listening to the "Preacher", as Mrs. Obama has stated, that she was (just) now proud to be an American.....If you were to change the "preacher's" words from "white" to "infidel", it would sound a lot like one of Alqaeda's propaganda speeches.
Greta, These are the things that you see and hear about all the time when the black people don't agree with something that is going on. It always amazes me that the people in the media don't get it. We have come a long way in the race issue, but I'm sorry I feel like most white people truly do try not to be racists, but then crap like this comes along and sets it back 50 years. If this is Christianity, I have no worries about going to hell!!!
I THAT HE WAS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT KNOWING OR HAD HEARD ABOUT THESE HATE SERMONS. THE FACT HE WILL SAY ANYTHING THAT WOULD HELP HIMSELF TO GET ELECTED TO BE PRESIDENT.
It is laughable to hear Mr. Obama state that after 20 years of sitting in the pews of this Church and being a close friend of this pastor .. that he has never heard this type of language in Wrights preaching... Obama is a typical lying politician trying to cover his backside when it hits the fan.... nothing new.
"I bugie hanno i gambi corti" is an Italian expression that translates to, "Lies have short legs". The truth cannot be outrun. The real Obama has been exposed. He is a racist. His associates are racist and haters (Farrakhan and his "pastor"). It took extreme pressure before he partially repudiated Farrakhan's endorsement. The fact that he does not wear a U.S. Flag on his lapel was at first discarded as unimportant. What does one think of that, now that they have heard his anti-American, racist "pastor"? More importantly, how many voters are familiar with his Senate voting record? That speaks for itself. If this man is elected as our President, we will all suffer.
i think that Fox new is the real racist, all of their new shows, show black in a negative light. Here in Miami, Fox news and channel seven news seem to think black people don't exist. what we need to do is boycott all Fox show and new nationwide and show their advertisers that we do exist.
A president has to represent ALL THE PEOPLE not just one segment. The rich, the poor, the black. the white the bright people, and the not so bright. The not so bright being the ones that do not realize 20 years attending a church and not knowing of the retoric being esposed will not wash. The people surrounding a politian give you a very good idea of the true man, not the facade the politician wants you to see. This man i so slick he scares me. Lets not get carried away by a charismatic speaker. Lets look deeper.
Mr. Obama must have been a cafeteria church goer. Christmas and Easter and none during the Year for him not ever hear Rev Jeremiah Utter those dispicables things about the USA.
Greta, This gives us a glimpse of the REAL Barack Obama. He will do/say anything to get elected. Remeber he refuses to wear a Am. Flag lapel pin and place his hand over his heart at the playing of the National Anthem. I hope America smartens up soon and sees this! Dave Manila, Phils
First his wife's comment about America and now his pastor's vile words, looks to me like the sheep's cover is coming off the wolf. God Bless America!!!!
"IF YOU LAY DOWN WITH DOGS, YOU GET FLEAS" IF SENATOR OBAMA HAS BEEN A MEMBER OF THIS CHURCH FOR 20 YRS AND THIS MAN IS HIS SPIRITUAL ADVISOR, HOW IN THE WORLD CAN OBAMA EVEN ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN OR WRANGLE HIS WAY OUT OF THIS. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SHOCKED. VOTERS HAD BETTER REALLY THINK BEFORE THEY CAST THAT PRESIDENTIAL VOTE. WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THIS COUNTRY? L. PAYNE CHESAPEAKE, VA.
Well, well, well, welcome to how Black America have been feeling and fearing for 200 plus years, electing White America into public office whose platform in the past have been to hate and keep black people on the outside looking in. How can one person's view be that of one of another. Barack goes to church to worship the Lord, he does not go to sensor what his Pastor has to say. There are many white churches, especially in the south, that their Sunday sermon is that to preach hate. As a Black American, who is able to pass and go to these sermons to have an idea of what is preached, is unbelievable. I feel that the people who are uncomfortable are the ones that perpetuate exactly what the Pastor is preaching about, the differences in the treatment of White America vs. Black America and all other minority groups.
Wow, I just watched Obama's response. Not such an eloquent speaker now. Perhaps this country will see him for who he is. Open your eyes America. Do you really want someone with this kind of background running your country?
am soooo thankful this is finally getting some press....this man should have quit or for that matter...not even belonged to a church so devisive for the USA...BO is speaking out of both sides of his mouth when he says he has not been aware of his pastors views....these lies will bring him down..as it rightfully should....there are many churches in Chicago that he could have taken his family to....even with WRight "retiring"..the guy replacing him has the same horrible views about America..and whites in general....let the truth be heard...before America makes a horrible mistake and gives Obama the most important job in the world.......
Wow! This Pastor is as looney as any KKK or White Supremacist I have ever heard! The really frightening part of all this is, how on earth could Obama know this idiot all these years and not realize what is going on in this guys rotten mind? I hardly think that anyone who is as naive as this has any business leading our country. GIVE IT UP OBAMA!
It is amazing that the man running for President of the United States, denies with a straight-face, that the person he associated with for 20 long years, and also his wife associated with, had such radical, separatist and racist views about the world around him, and that the Rev. was continually inciting his congregation with such repeated sermons....Does Obama really believe that the American people are so naive and gullible?!!!!! This is an incredulous shame, and he should be dumped immediately due to this hypocrisy...even from the Senate.
who would let their children listen to this in church they are not following the teachings of christ jesus said be not overcome with evil but overcome evil with good
The Rev Wright was clearly Barack Obama's MENTOR!!!!!! Obama needs another mentor and our country needs Obama to go home.
And BHO says he will "Unify the Country"??????????????????? God Help (and not damn) The USA if BHO is made President!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hear Malta is a pretty good place to escape to.
He needs to go! I don't buy any of it.....he didn't know what his preacher for 20 years was saying. His church is all about hate for our country, the white man and the jews. Shame on Barock .... he is a danger to this country. I am sick about the prospects of this man for president. We must educate the voters about the dangers of a man who spews such hate for our country.Love it or leave it I say.
i think that Fox new is the real racist, all of their new shows, show black in a negative light. Here in Miami, Fox news and channel seven news seem to think black people don't exist. what we need to do is boycott all Fox show and new nationwide and show their advertisers that we do exist.
O'Bama's constituents don't care about morality, God's laws, or what's best for us in America. They only associate with race. His pastor has just enforced that type of thinking...racism. When the anti-christ comes into power, however, it will not matter what we vote. Seems to me we're well on our way to meeting the anti-christ.
This is all the more reason why I am voting for Hillary as soon As Obama wife made the statement that " we can final be proud of America" that was the tip off. That they where raciest people . And the fact that Obama was part of this raciest church what does it say about Obams judgment? Also, He has a fascination with communism! people should be scared you know what they say " Birds of a Feather Flock Together"
For 20 years he never heard any of these statements made? I am all for a successful black man who is dedicated to uniting our country for president.. but a black man who speaks about America and any race like this, no thank you. He may condemn these statements now, but he has been believing in and listening to this for the past two decades. I have been for Obama until now. I can't imagine an America run by a man with this pastor by his side. Just wait until more footage comes out... with Obama in the audience!!
All I can say is, with these kinds of issues arising for Obama, Hillary is looking better and better!!
It is impossible for B. O. to have attended this Church and have such a close relationship with the Pastor to not have heard this type of comment. This is agreement by silence, plain and simple. Wright should be held accountable f
