Obama is just saying what he thinks people want to hear; he probably told the “pastor” that he was going to apologize, but doesn’t mean it; similar to what his economic advisor told the Canadian Ambassador about NAFTA;

…if he felt so offended all these years, why did Obama remain a member of this church?

…Is Obama saying as an African-American he did not attend service every weekend? I find that hard to believe!

…I am sure that if I were so upset/offended by the pastor’s “…inflamatory and appalling…” views, he would not be the pastor at my wedding.

…If Obama was SO offended of this pastor’s philosophy, how and why did the pastor’s sermons inspire his book title and book?

…Bull…this gentleman has been Obama’s mentor, daily guidance counsel, pastor at his wedding, and the “church” is presumed to be a primary financial backer of Obama’s career; and now presidential campaign.

…I am not buying this “condemnation” and the press is not being objective and is giving Obama another “free” ride. After 20 years of supporting the pastor and church, Obama suddenly has a “change of heart?” I DON’T THINK SO! So much for “change”

…I think if this church and pastor were investigated, you would find Obama linked to this church, which is linked to Nation of Islam Organization, and both religious organizations are located in the same State district Obama use to represent.

“…the enemy of my enemy is my friend…”

look how Obama treats his poorest constituents> ..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hP-YoB5mnZs

ABC also brought up Rezko. Did you happen to see what the conservative Chicago Tribune wrote on March 16? If not, you should read the whole thing, but this jumped out:

“The most remarkable facet of Obama’s 92-minute discussion was that, at the outset, he pledged to answer every question the three dozen Tribune journalists crammed into the room would put to him. And he did.”

ABC extends the “substantiation” well beyond the obvious that Charles pointed out.

And you’re questioning of the messenger himself when you should know bleeping well that the messenger is telling the truth is getting very old.

Are you comfortable calling a man a liar based on nothing more than this blogger’s say-so? That’s what you’ve done.

As for the 20-year relationship, well, read the speech. He laid it out from the heart.

And what about a 20-year mentoring relationship with a racist pastor (make that likely two, possibly even three) don’t you understand? I clarified comment 2, and appreciate, the nudge.

Charles Murray wrote, “Has any other major American politician ever made a speech on race that comes even close to this one? As far as I’m concerned, it is just plain flat out brilliant—rhetorically, but also in capturing a lot of nuance about race in America. It is so far above the standard we’re used to from our pols…. But you know me. Starry-eyed Obama groupie.”

I would encourage everyone to read the speech and/or watch the video. Video is available via Tom’s link to lgf.
