But Obama wasn't at any of those "spirtually focused sermons".  Right?

Saying that the US is controlled by rich White men is not only not racist, it is a fact.
It is inconceivable how anyone could seriously say it isn't true.

one of this has a damned thing to do with being president.

Obama, unlike McCain, has not made jokes about bombing other countries, which does have a lot to do with being president.

I judge this to be ratwing bullsh*t.

Yea, that's why Obama is being prevented from running for President.  That's why we've never had any minorities at some of the highest levels of Government.  That's why we have zip minority CEO's in this country.      I swear Xo, do you ever think before you post?  Now, not only does the good Reverend look like a complete dunce, now you're trying to look just like him

XO much of what race divider Rev Wright says may not be technically "racist"
but it would be considered racially divisive
and Obama is supposed to be the guy that would bring the races together
Obama is supposed to be the guy to lead us "away from the past"
so what is one to believe?
the Obama that claims he will be the leader to "bring us all together"
Or the Obama that sits for 20 years listening to a mentor
that angrily shouts about "God damn America", and how bad the White man is?
The drumbeat of demonizing the white man is not exactly a healing tactic.

I know you dismiss anything we on this side of the isle say as simply politics
but there is a real question about who Obama is, because his rhetoric for
taking this country beyond race and color does not match his actions of
sticking with a racially divisive mentor/church for the last 20 years.

The number of White CEO's is in the high nintieth percentile: 98%. 99%. Colin Powell was Secretary of State, and was highly competent. And ignored completely. Condi Rice was such a suck-up to Big Oil that they named a tanker after her, and she is incompetent enough to win the John Foster Dulles Awfulness in Diplomacy Award.

Obama is not a suck-up but you do not like the sermons that he may have heard in church, so now he is disqualified, and we need an ancient warmonger who kids about bomb, bomb Iran.

You and your ilk are not to be taken seriously.

The sort of Black man you think should be qualified as president could only be achieved with a can of Rustoleum.

If you want to look and sound as ignorant as Reverend Wright Xo, the floor is yours

This is the kind of garbage that really does make it hard to be civilized in response.  Another news flash for Xo, I don't look for any kind of "insert color/race* man or woman to be president.  For me, skin color isn't an issue.  But for those I disagree with, they can't help but have this knee jerk reaction of trying to make it all about race.  Ironically, yet another similarity with the good Reverend Wright
