Re: [Dems2008] Re: WHICH IS WORSE ?????

this will be a recurring issue re: his pastor. Obama may have disagreed with him but in my experience locally if people disagree strongly they talk to that pastor or rabbi or other person and if there is no resolution, depending on what issue it is they may quit the temple the church whatever. Thee are people that say he had 20 years to take a stand but friendship was an overriding figure. I also believe that it is hard to disagree with a rabbi; he is a figure that demands respect; who am I to criticize him ? I may disagree but his education and background may make it difficult for me to vocalize. I can understand Obama's delimna. but I wonder just how much of the Pastor's thinking rubbed off on him .

I'm not sure what you heard, but there was nothing treasonous. Much of what Rev Wright
said is the platform of the democratic party, he was just animated about it. As for anti
american statements, we have a lot of blood on our hands....get over the Wright issue, he
is a preacher not a politician, Obama is running, not Wright.......Obama's church has many
good aspects; helping homeless, drug programs, employment programs, skills training,
etc...., and you Hillary supporters continue to rip Obama for something he has denounced
and trash a church that has picked up the slack during the past eight years. You sound
like a republican. You are making a big deal out of something Obama has addressed and
clarified his position on. Go to youtube.com if you missed the speech

I know I have talked some trash about Bush, am I anti-american? Grow up buddy, we live
in america....people have talked trash about the US for years....we have freedom of speech
in this country.
