Clinton says she would have walked out on Wright

I don't believe she would have walked out on Pastor Wright. She didn't walk out on her husband, the PRESIDENT, when he had his numerous open affairs. So why would someones words cause her to "walk out" and not an affair?

SHAME ON YOU HILLARY CLINTON! There was no need to bring this up as a matter of Political debate! be what happened in your judgement wrong, I know deep in my Heart that I can't be held responsible for what my Pastor may or may not say, There is a fine line you should Never Cross, but then would You ever stop in your own Personal Self Interest

Time would be better spent Hillary on reflection on YOUR LIES to the American Voters! Bosnia and your wild claims about your part in The Northern Ireland Peace Treaty are only the latest!

Hillary rather than the continued personal nasty attacks on Barack Obama when will you release your TAX RETURNS that is THE TRUTH we all want !,

Hillary is right!

Hindsight is 20/20 Hillary. If the Lewinsky scandal happened today, would you walk out on Bill?

Rev Wright land sell to Trinity at : revjeremiahawrightjr.com

Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright land transaction from his Jeremiah Wright Trust to Trinity Church.

Kenneth Lewis sells the land to Wright and then Wright sells it to the church with a
ten million dollar mortgage and 8.2% interest rate .

When did she speak out against the anti-semitic remarks of Billy Graham? Oh, it must have been when she and Bill would invite Rev. Graham to the White House!

Give it a break, Hillary. Concede now, for the good of the Democratic Party. Barack Obama is not your adversary. John McCain is. You and Bill have said nicer things about McCain than you have about Obama.

The only way you can win is if you turn enough superdelegates against Obama, the clear leader in delegates, popular vote, and number of states. That would really turn the party on it's head, assuring the Republicans another 4 more years. Is that what you want? Get out with a little of your dignity - and that of your husband - intact, before you completely ruin the Democrat's chances in an election that could have been easily won by the Democrats.

This impresses me as lowdown opportunism on Clinton's part. How would she know what she would do? Why is she saying this, how would she know what she would do, if she were black, living in Chicago, coming from that background, etc. It is so hypothetical that she has no business saying what she would do.

It’s amazing what happens when you hear the pastor’s quotes in the context they were delivered. See the posters comments below CNN’s Roland Martin articles:

http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/21/the-full-story-behind-rev-jeremiah-wrights-911-sermon/

http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/21/the-full-story-behind-wright%e2%80%99s-%e2%80%9cgod-damn-america%e2%80%9d-sermon/?s-%20?god-damn-america%20?-sermon/

I can’t say I subscribe to everything the pastor has said but I can say that it makes a heck of a difference when you hear them within the sermon.

This is a largely smear campaign. If they can’t nail the candidate, then they have to go after someone close to them to try to make the candidate look bad. Eventually, this story is going to come out – that Rev. Wright isn’t as bad as a few out of context clips make him out to be and most rational people will calm down.

So Hillary decides to take up Fox news talking points. Classy move. And the funny thing is that it's a move that both McCain and Huckabee refused. The Republican candidates responded in better faith than did Clinton.

Who is your Pastor Hillary? When is the last time he saw you and your faithful husband in church? People who are not Christian will always have a hard time understanding the relationship of paster and members. We believed our Pastors are called by God and only God has a right to judge who he calls. We love you Hillary but you are doing more to the Party for your personal goals, since you werre a child then you know. If you love the American people, go back to your day job Senator.

Making the comparison between Senator Clinton not having walked out on her husband due to his infidelity and Senator Obama not walking out from his church is RIDICULOUS. First, she was/is married to him. He's family. And as wrong and offensive as it was, what he did was not anti-American, not political in nature.

Grow up, people. Get smart. Be objective. Be rational.

Google Donnie McClurkin. Another example of a gospel singer/minister wanna be whom Senator Obama has refused to distance himself from. Read about McClurkin's hateful rhetoric/preaching. One step away from Farakhan, my friends. Who's next? The Jews? Catholics? According to Wright, Caucasions. That leaves Obama supporting African Americans and Muslims. Hmmm...

Suprise, suprise... on the same day of her 'misstatement' regarding Bosnia. Of course, no one should focus on that. It's only one of the last few shreds of her 'experience' that she's clinging to.

But instead, she'll do some damage control by bringing up Wright's name again. Expect to see her use this as a life preserver from here on out.

Blah Bla Blah you still wont be President Hilliary.The press is just sensationalizing the race for ratings and excitment.

She can be as Machevilian as she wants her only hope is to hope Obama loses the general so she can get a chance in 2012. Thats what i think she is still in the race for anyway. pure evil.

We can't trust Hillary Clinton when talks about things she DID do, so why should we believe her when she says what she WOULD do.

Second biggest liar in politics, just behind her husband.

I would not have chosen that church, I would not look to the pastor as my mentor, and I certainly would have walked out during that sermon, especially if it was my goal to one day serve this country. She's absolutely being honest this time.

I don't believe a thing she says. The only thing to believe is that every word and action is based 100% on a selfish desire to win. She should shut up - fat chance.

Who is she kidding? She didn't leave when the President diddled the intern. She didn't leave the President after his being impeached for lying to congress. But now...this pastor has gone too far?!?

I will personally be using the ABC method of voting this election Cycle.

Anyone But Clinton.

But but ... Obama is a Muslim, according to Clinton.
When you are lying, be consistent.

Remember when Bush was elected and then reelected on the basis of his claim to be a "compassionate conservative" and that God wanted him to be President. And many said he was someone they'd like to it down and have a beer with. A serious error was made in 2000 and 2004 by those choosing a leader on his personality...look what we got! Now a gifted orator with questionable qualifications has charmed many first-time voters (young and easily impressed), and caused them to overlook the experience and multi-qualifications of a woman who has the strength and integrity to redeem our country in the eyes of a world that now laughs at the incompetence of our leadership. Will we make the same mistake in 2008 and elect a man who's main qualification is his silver tongue? Again, those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Phyllis March 25, 08 4:05pm

NEWSFLASH: Hillary Clinton is not black. So it's somewhat of an absurd hypothetical on her part anyway to conjecture what she would have done had she had been in his largely black congregation church. Does her hypothetical presume she would experience his sermon as a black woman? Or is the observer left to wonder how her experience as a white woman at this church might affect her decision to withdraw vis-a-vis that of a black man or woman?

what about the photo of bill and wright in white house?

Hillary Clinton is just the kind to walk out on Rev. Wright. She walked out on her friends that served time in jail for White Water. But she chose not to walk out on Bill Clinton - her husband and President of the USA who engaged in numerous extra-marital affairs while holding two highly regarded leadeship positions first as the Govenor of Arkansas and later as U.S. President. It is Clear to all of us now that Hillary Clinton stayed with your lying, cheating husband with her sights squarely set on the top job. All the while researching and plotting for any vacancy in the US Senate. She wasted no time in becoming a resident of the state of NY. Hillary Clinton is just as shrewd and stubborn as Bill Clinton. Will she walk out on the American people if she is elected president? Will she tell the truth? I shutter to think where our country is headed if she is elected president. Hillary Clinton will say and/or do anything to become commander-in-chief.

C'mon Hillary, If you really mean what you said you would have walked out of the marriage with Bill if not for your political ambitions

Shame on you Hillary! Why do you persist in trying to tear down Barack Obama when there is universal consensus that you can't possibly win the nomination? Are you so blinded by your lust for power that you would risk destroying your party and put the country through 4 more years of disaster an ruination under McCain?

This election is really about you and your delusional sense of entitlement to the presidency and the continuation of the Clintonian political franchise.

It's clearer now more than ever! Hillary has given up and decided to run again in 2012! She'll destroy Obama for 2008 (and 2012). She'll let McCain win in 2008 and hope he screws up for 2012.

The Clinton's will eat their own to win!

Hillary is white! How does her opinion matter?? I'm sure as a white person, it's easy to say that she would have walked out on Rev. Wright.

Yeah right Hillary, I'm sure you would have run with your head down no doubt!!!

Leave Wright...she should have left cheaten Slick Willy

So she would walk out of the Church ? Is that before or after she runs from the plane, ducking from Sniper Power ?

Yeah right Hillary, I'm sure you would have run with your head down no doubt!!!

The Clintons are cracking under the strain. That's obvious.

Yeah, just like she ducks under non-existent sniper fire. She's dishonest. That's all.

Once again the contradictions that Senator Clinton displays are quite alarming. She would walk out of a sermon and not walk out on a husband having sex in the White House? I guess I am too simple to follow the logic here. This doesnt even begin to address the signal her behavior sends to other women. Let's see she is"thinking about the Spitzer family". How about supporting another woman whose husband just damaged everything we supposedly value like trust between couples, the public and how the children see we adults. Sorry, I find her completely lacking the kind of integrity necessary to be President of the United States.

Hillary has the right to make her point. Barack is a liying bigot dont let him fool you.. He and Jackson and the rest of the "race" fighter want nothing to do with this issue. Just remember how they all came down on Imus..

John Sheff - Why shouldn't she bring it up? She is asked a question and she gave her answer. One would hope that politicians could actually do that on occasion. Worry about the truth for the sake of your country, not your political party's stability.

It's clearer now more than ever! Hillary has given up and decided to run again in 2012! She'll destroy Obama for 2008 (and 2012). She'll let McCain win in 2008 and hope he screws up for 2012.

The Clinton's will eat their own to win!

are you guys really serious? do you actually think that a black man will be voted in as president before a war hero?

Get real people. I've lived in Jersey all my life and never really bothered voting because Jersey's always Democratic. But if Obama get the nomination then forget it, I'm voting for McCain.

Do you really think Obama has never heard what Wrights about. He knows and he's always known. People know what's going on in their church.

Do you realize that all should Barack get the nomination, it will be a election based on race, why? Because that's human nature.

Provo, Hillary. Glad to know that you wouldn't tolerate those kind of lies about our country. You are right. You can't disown your family or choose your family, but you can disown or choose a pastor. Provo, Hillary! You go after them, lady!

I also, applaud Hillary for standing by Bill in his time of crisis and weakness. It has made your marriage stronger, for your strength in this whole situation. I don't know if I could have been as strong as you. But then I don't know if I love my husband the same way you love, Bill. We are all different. But one thing I hope we are not different about and that is the loyalty we all hold for our country! No matter how wrong our country may have been when doing somethings in the past.

Barack Obama - "The Speech: A Brilliant Fraud"

Lies of the Heart, Lies of the Mind ... Lies of All Kinds!

"After you've heard lie upon lie, it can hardly be question of why..."

I'm truly disappointed...

But of course she would have left the church. She would've ran away with the head down, under sniper fire, just like she did in Tuzla.

First and foremost she wasn't a member of Graham's church. As for the Lewinsky affair I believe for those who take marriage seriously the vows say 'for better or worse, richer or poorer'. However I also realize that for the immediate gratification mindset of many Americans those vows mean nothing; just something you say for family and friend groupies at an expensive get together. Also I guest the poster who wants her to concede now only likes democracy when it agrees with his position. Once thing this election has exposed is the utter hypocrisy of many people, along with bigotry, general hatefulness and absolutely no concept of what real democracy is. Intellectually the US is nothing by a third world country with money, oops, I should have said debt.

yeah, yeah, yeah.

I did not think that HRC would have the guts to touch this subject. Please check out her church .....er...cult....as documented on the Huffington Post or Mother Jones.

Her comments smack of desperation. After her embellished version of her trip to Bosnia, you would think she'd retract her claws for awhile.

Hillary has a far better shot at winning vs McCain than Obama.

Hillary has next to no chance to win this year's nomination and she knows it.

However, she would rather wreck the Democratic nomination in 2008 so that John McCain can win, so she'll have a better shot at running in 2012.

She's very smart. Evil, perhaps, but very smart.

- A Hillary supporter until about 2 months ago.

That is it. I was a supporter of Clinton, but I am finished. I do not think it appropriate for her of all people to weigh in on how much leeway we give those we love to think or speak differently than we. Obama's speech on race appreciated and understood this. Clinton does also, but she will say anything to get a vote. And she just lost mine.

But of course she would have left the church. She would've ran away with the head down, under sniper fire, just like she did in Bosnia.

This just underlines why I cannot support Hilary even though there are many things I admire about her. She is vicious and mean spirited; quite happy to pull the entire ship down if it doesn't follow her course. The worst possible choice for presidential leadership.

I see nothing good coming of a Clinton presidency. I think I would skip the election if her name is on the ballot.

How does Bill Clinton's affairs become equivalent to racist speech? That was a private matter between Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. The pastor's sermons were quite public. He was basically inciting people and from the video the congregation was in agreement. I would walk out regardless of the state of my marriage. If I attend a church, mosque, temple, or synagogue where the religious leader exhorts us the way Wright did, I am not responsible the first time. If I return for more exhortations, I become complicit. If the preacher makes hateful comments to me privately, I will privately tell the preacher to stop. If the preacher does not respect my feelings, the private conversation comes to an end.

As I recall, the Clinton's church in Washington--Foundry United Methodist Church-- was known for some very interesting political stands during those years. On several occasions, the church took stands that were in direct conflict with the Clinton's public views. They didn't walk out on that church or its pastor.

Like most of the country, Hillary has probably not taken the time to hear the entire sermons from Wright that those little snippets were extracted from.

So we get more of the same bluster from a Democratic politician that we might expect from the political right.

Haven't we had enough?

Many of us would have walked out, so the comment by itself isn't unreasonable. But we also know that: (1) Obama wasn't there for the worst of the comments we've now seen, so it's unclear that she would have walked out had she seen what he did; (2) that many good-hearted people wouldn't have walked out, because they decided there was sufficient good there to warrant staying; and (3) that Obama's relationship with Wright was decades long and therefore not so easily thrown out over one or two offensive remarks.

The bottom line is that we don't really know what Obama would have done had he heard the g-d America speech because he wasn't there. It's plainly obvious to anyone who pays attention that Wright's view, at least at that moment, couldn't have been more contrary to Obama's own views. Wright is the man who brought Obama to faith -- no small thing among those of us who are Christians. So are we really going to bring down a leader of great promise because of the statements -- however misguided -- of another person?

Wow I cannot believe the ignorance of our culture these days. To compare someone blasting people publicly and blasting American culture as well as American government in a church setting to a man having an affair. They are not even on the same level! In no way shape or form should such hate talk be in a church setting, and anyone who would stand by that! What Wright said about the country, the government, and other "cultural" issues was against numerous people in this country. It was an attack on every person who supports the war, who supports or supported Bush and is pro-anger and hatred.

Hillary has the right to make her point. Barack is a liying bigot dont let him fool you.. He and Jackson and the rest of the "race" fighter want nothing to do with this issue. Just remember how they all came down on Imus..

John Sheff - Why shouldn't she bring it up? She is asked a question and she gave her answer. One would hope that politicians could actually do that on occasion. Worry about the truth for the sake of your country, not your political party's stability.

If Senator Clinton feels the need to keep this misdirected issue alive perhaps the MSM might think about delving into her longterm association with the Domnionist group "The Fellowship"/"The Family" for parity......

COme on people get real, Hillary was only answering the question of the reporter, jeez people give it a rest either way John McCain has this election wrapped up since obama completely divided the democratic party. Luckily for all us democrats, McCain is secretly on our side lol, i mean come on immigration, taxes, social values...ALL LIBERAL. plus u guys have to admit obama has been lying quite a lot also. don't blame everything on the hillary.obama and hillary both have their faults but u have to realize that obama can in no way shape or form "change" anything. in order for there to be change u'd have to get rid of all the 500+ member off congress and the judiciary members and find people who will actually work together. unfortunately whenever obama says change i think he's talking about communism :(

The standard that "whites" are held up to should be equal for "blacks". If this had been Clinton's pastor saying the same comments about blacks OR whites, she would be raked through the coals; disowned by the American public. Let's get real, the nation is scared to be real about race, just as Obama pointed out. This is a "real" truth about racism: Reverse discrimination is prevalent & there is a huge double standard.

But of course she would have left the church. She would've ran away with the head down, under sniper fire, just like she did in Bosnia.

Hillary is so out of it that she is a victim of her own delusions. She thought she was under sniper attack when in fact she was greeted by the president and an 8 year old girl who read her a poem. Bill's actions have shown that there is no integrity. I am so sick of the Clintons. I certainly do not want a 72 year old guy making critical decisions. Obama is not perfect , however, he is a fresh face with fresh ideas. None of the clergy we see or hear publicly have a clue about Christianity and the teaching of Jesus. These are idiot men who think that they are saving our souls when they can not even save their own. Obama is intelligent and articulate. Hillary has lied over and over again. Wait until Obama hits her on her Nafta lies and now her so called credentials. Hillary is her own worst enemy.

It seems to me the voters have three choices
1 John McCain a war hero ,and probably right on no precipitous Iraq withdrawls but no business experience. In fact he and his has father lived off our taxes(military service)
2. Hillary -Has the right perpspective on what's wrong with corporate America (Unbridled GREED) and what changes in law are needed for the working class
3.Barack Obama -staying with Wright is a serious error in judgment -but his intellect and demeanor are superior to Hilary's and McCain( and is essential for effective leadership
Summary President Obama
VP Hillary
Sec Defense John McCain
It is obvious we need more independents or Democrats in Congress to get a supermajority so there will be no excuses fo non-performance by the Hill

Hillary has the right to make her point. Barack is a liying bigot dont let him fool you.. He and Jackson and the rest of the "race" fighter want nothing to do with this issue. Just remember how they all came down on Imus..

yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hillary is ALWAYS revising something ... "I didn't realize...." "I didn't know" ..... "I objected but didn't have a real voice" .... "I was ducking sniper fire" .... " I would have done" ....
Is this what the next four years would look like?
Haven't we had enough of excuses and buck passing?

Hillary: why do you persist in trying to tear down Barack Obama when there is universal consensus that you can't possibly win the nomination? Are you so blinded by your lust for power that you would risk destroying your party and put the country through 4 more years of disaster and ruination under McCain?

This election is really about you and your delusional sense of entitlement to the presidency and perpetuating the Clintonian political franchise. As if there was ever any doubt.

Liar, liar pants flambe. Yeah Hillary, just a chip off the old Bill block

What about those snipers shooing at u in Bosnia! Isn't it strange that no one else can recall , nor video can confirm that tale ...Mispoke , no just another lie...

Get a hold of yourself. She was asked in the interview "what she would have done". I would have done the same thing=walked out. I have done that in the past and found another place to attend Mass. There is no comparison to remaining in a parish or church community and remaining with your spouse. Perhaps many of you would have left your husbands for extra marital affairs; perhaps I might have also and did leave my husband. But there were many other more important reasons I had for ending my marriage. That is a personal, private decision that each spouse makes for themself. We have had divorced male presidents; male presidents and govenors who had illicit affairs, smoked pot, snorted cocaine, prostitute lobbyists, proposition Congressional interns, etc. Her "weakness" was choosing to remain with her husband, which is no one's business but her's. You people are not using your heads and your logic. You are operating on personal emotional weaknesses of your own! This is a primary campaign. If you have voted for your candidate, and he appears to have the margin of victory, what are you so hateful about? Get over it. If I can resign myself to the fact that the candidate I feel is more qualified and knowledgeable may not be victorious, why can't you resign yourself to victory and stop the hateful comments? This is a campaign, not another coronation as we had in 2000 and in 2004.

Well, Ms. Clinton has changed her stripes again- or has she?

She certainly hasn't changed her political tactics learned from her mentor Saul Alinsky while at Wellesley.

She would have run out of there just as fast as she ran off that plane while solving the problems in Bosnia.

Oh, wait......

She would have walked out the man who brought her to Christ? The man who officiated at her wedding? The man who baptized her child?

And her people have the nerve to call somebody else Judas?

Hillary is right. HIllary has much higher standards on loving America and being patriotic. Obama is just a low life. He never loved America. Just like his wife, he never felt proud of America until he started winning the nomination contest! What a shame on the ones who voted for Obama in the primaries!

Please: No more Clintons in the White House.

So, Clinton or Obama? Hmmm....let's look at their resumes....relationships with "close advisors".....seems pretty clear: Hillary. Why not jump on a bandwagon of hype? The problem I have with Mr. Obama is his pattern of saying one thing and then distancing himself from those words when the opposite is revealed at a later date. That is called "spin", folks, and certainly not "new politics". It also speaks to his platform of "good judgement". How can it be good judgement to listen to divisive words when you are also running on a platform of "unity", and listen to that for 20 years, just as an aside. How can it be good judgement to have a close friend and political associate whom you used to buy a piece of property with, who was widely known it be under investigation for political fraud and corruption? We have a need and right to know Senator Obama from every angle and what he believes when he talks of equality and a "vision" for America. For voters (or media) to say that Clinton +/or Obama is at fault for the direction the Democratic campaign has headed, is ludicrous and short-sighted. America is a melting pot of races, genders, culture, etc. and we each have a personal interest in seeing "ourselves" in our President. With that connection comes passion and emotional investment. However, it also must be tempered with information about the candidates (good and bad, without negative "label" attached to said information) so that we can make informed choices, rather than only emotionally-driven ones. To Americans: try to take off the blinders of opinion polls, media spin, mud and excitement and remember what this race is really about: Hiring someone to do the toughest and, arguably, most important job on the planet. Being President of the US isn't about speeches, promises and what-if's - it is about who you believe will get up, everyday, and work their butt off for every hardworking American, because they have a track record of that already. That person is Senator Clinton. She has worked hard and diligently for all Americans, and spent years building strong relationships because she has a passionate vision of what America can be, not just because she's running for President. Vetted, intelligent, tested and hardworking. Senator Clinton is the right choice for me in '08

It is unfortunate, for the Democratic Party, that Hillary Clinton has to espouse such a lowbrow, disingenuous argument in a desperate attempt to put herself in a more favorable light than Mr. Obama. If anything, the more she goes on with this diatribe the brighter, in every sense, Barack Obama appears.

yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hillary is ALWAYS either REVISING or EXCUSING or BLAMING .... this behavior has passed for GOVERNING long enough in my opinion.

Let's be honest, Hillary would sleep with Wright if it furthered her "career."

This is so funny reading democats argue with each other. It seems like both democratic canidates are liars.

Obama first never heard Rev. Wright say anti-america things. But a few days later he has.

Then Hillary was first under sniper fire. And again, a few days later she was not.

She would have walked out the man who brought her to Christ? The man who officiated at her wedding? The man who baptized her child?

And her people have the nerve to call somebody else Judas?

Samanthia was right. This woman will say or do anything. "Shame on you Hillary Clinton!"

Do we want to have a President who hates our country?

The democratic party should allow primary elections only until the republican nominee is decided. The states after that do not matter ..right? Hopefully, next time around the plan will be to have all states voting completed by March to ensure a fair outcome.

To Annitia, Chris Salditt: Are you married? When I married I committed to my husband for life. If he had an affair, sure I would want to turn away and never look back, but somehow, I don't trust that I could do that, regardless of the pain it caused. So, until you've walked in those shoes, your comments don't hold much water. Besides, the betrayal of trust between two loved ones, is far different than the acceptance of perpetuating fear and hate in a community that is uncertain and susceptible to these types of statements and claims. Apples and oranges!

I like how she refused to comment while it was still an issue. Then once the public and media get bored of it and realize her lies about Bosnia and her "experience" she decides it is now time to make a comment. Hillary should have dropped out long ago, she is only hurting the Democratic Party by staying in the race.

Senator Obama has managed to divert the nation from the question that he faced: why did he seek out as a mentor a man who expounded radical hatred for the United States of America? This has nothing to do with race. His brilliant speech has largely succeeded it seems in distracting attention from his poor judgment in the associates he chooses. Senator Clinton is absolutely correct to draw attention to this pitfall. It is really ironic that the same people who applaud Senator Obama for sticking by the incendiary pastor criticized Senator Clinton for succeeding in reserving her marriage. What utter hypocrisy. I think Senator Clinton will prevail in this contest because she has truth on her side.

It is unfortunate, for the Democratic Party, that Hillary Clinton has to espouse such a lowbrow, disingenuous argument in a desperate attempt to put herself in a more favorable light than Mr. Obama. If anything, the more she goes on with this diatribe the brighter, in every sense, Barack Obama appears.

Well, Ms. Clinton has changed her stripes again- or has she?

She certainly hasn't changed her political tactics learned from her mentor Saul Alinsky while at Wellesley.

Alinsky's 13th rule for radicals

"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."

read the whole article here: She will say and do anything to steal the nomination.

http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/01/hillary_and_bill_use_alinksy_t.html

Please: No more Clintons in the White House.

I understand Hillary, she is right .. She suffered,bore stoically what no woman does -- she did not give up her husband. It shows her maturity and blance of mind so rare here. She considered Family more precious than husband's indiscretions.
.
Reg Wright and Obama what is right ? The nature of realtionship is different-- Obama's is case of split personality. You dont continue assocation with any who has wronged the National Psyche, who disparagingly ignores the work done by so many in US for over 150 years. We have to accept, that with honorable exceptions the apparent Black and White, difference is exploited for personal advantages
even now

I have so much regard and respect for the Clintons. But after all this negativity from them about Obama, I think it is quickly eroding. Please let it go Hillary, please!

Obama's true colors are coming to the forefront. He keeps accusing her of negative politics, as he engages in negative politics. He's guilty of everything he's accused Hillary of being. As he points the finger at Hillary, he's got three fingers pointing back at himself.

If Wright rubs off on Obama, then how do Norman Hsu, James Blair, Jim and Susan McDougal, Marc Rich, Almon Glenn Braswell, Carlos Vignali and a host of others including Monica Lewinsky and Paula Jones rub off on Hillary?

In the highly unlikely event that Hillary steals the nomination, McWar and the rabid dogs of the republican party will expose Hillary's true nature - something Obama won't do - and dance her naked across the televion sets and front pages of America.

Mrs Clinton passes off lies as truth, but when caught in the act she claims she "misspoke" which again is another lie. This is the substance of the vast political experience gained over the years, her resounding creterion.

You know, I have liked Mr. Obama all along and as much as it pains me and everyone else, she is right and today we found out that Obama donated $25.000 to that very same church. He didn't protest and giving that much money tells me all I need to know, even if nobody else wants to admit the truth. I will probably go to McCain now, or maybe Clinton, because she needed to say this because it is true and her husband did not say he hated or blamed America for anything. So any comparison just isn't there. So Obama, maybe another speach or some flowery words? I just can't listen to you anymore--ever. If you don't win the prez now, then you will never win in politics again and I think you know that. Good luck.

The Clintons have been consistently playing 'the race card' since S. Carolina. They won't stop.

The real question is how far will H. Clinton drag the party down to meet the needs of her own ego.

Her sentences all have the words I or me in them. Obama's have we or us. That's all you need to know about the Clintons. They have (both of them) consistently put their interests ahead of the party.

Want to know who Hillary Clinton would have as her pastor?
(hint: think power-mongering right-wing nutjob)
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/03/20/opinion/main3955108.shtml

Like she walked out on Suha Arafat? Oh, that's right. She hugged her and gave her a kiss instead.

So she would walk out on Wright who made a derogatory comment and harmed maybe,only his flock and perhaps Obama's presidential chances, but she would not stand up to Bush on a war vote when American lives are at stake?
Give me a break!
If you look up the word pander in the dictionary her picture is there.

Hillary's racebaiting tactics will fool only the portion of the population that would vote for her regardless of her opponent. They are blind to her incessant lies and her politics of personal destruction.

Let's join together to move this country forward, and not backward into the divisive and hateful politics of the Bush/Clinton past.

Obama for President!

I have seen these tactics Hillary is using before. In the late 1400's Vlad The Impaler employing a scorched earth policy, along with ambushes, night attacks, and the tactics of fear. He forced his his enemy to retreat but kill most of the towns people and left the lands barren.

Thanks Hillary for screwing us all just because you feel you and only you should be President!

Good for Hillary!

Democrats need to wake up. Obama cannot win the general election. There is far more love of country in this nation, than the media understands. America will not stand for such lack of judgement, particularly when the object of hatred, is our own country.

She says she would have walked out, but can you believe her?

If Obama wins the nomination I will as a commited Democrat vote for him.my preference is Senator Clinton. For the Clinton bashers, get a life. Make a list
of all the Republican congressmen and senators who have had extramarital
affairs, divorces and are pedophiles and then cast stones. Check out the fact
that their are more divorces in the so-called red states (the religious ones)
than in the more liberal blue states. There are more pressing problems in
our country than Obama's problem over a blue dress. There is the war,
the economy, global warming, education, health care, corruption at the highest
level of the current Bush Republican administration and its attack on our
civil liberties and a woman's right to control her own body.

Clinton has no business saying what she "would have" done if Rev. Wright were her pastor. Rev. Wright was speaking in a black church to a black congregation. As Obama so elogantly illucidated, Rev. Wright's comments can be understood in the context of a black man who was brought up in a society that was intolerant to African Americans.

Obama is a rare candidate in that he can see the perspective of both sides of the race issue. Perhaps Clinton too had a grandmother who was afraid of black men, but she certainly has no idea what she would have done if she were a black congregant in a black church. What her argument boils down to is that she thinks she knows what it's like to be a black man in America. The woman has no empathy.

I was in a similar position when the senior pastor at a church I had been attending (and had been a part of for over 20 years) made a remark about a homosexual man and used the word "queer" in describing him. The next week he mentioned the subject again and downplayed his remark. I still do not think he actually hates gay men or women but he demonstrated an appalling lack of discernment, Christian love and sensitivity. And for that reason and that reason alone my husband and I left there that week never to return. It wasn't that difficult a decision. We clearly realized that that man would never be an effective spiritual leader, personal role model or true representative of Christ and Biblical teaching. I don't hate him or reject everything he ever said, we just couldn't stay there and by our presence lend approval to his words. That is my persepective and what I would want to discuss with Senator Obama.

Poor Hillary, trying like mad to keep her madness at bay.
It's in the bulging eyes, that hard won smile that hurts to look at,
she can barely keep it together she looks like she's about to snap.
Meanwhile Barack is cool, calm and measured no matter what gets thrown at him.
Isn't this who we need in charge now?

Interesting that she would pick today to comment on Pastor Wright. Is it mere coincidence that she did this the same day as Obama released his income taxes? She continues to lie and exaggerate about her role in NAFT, her foreign "policy" experience, moves the goal post on the delegates, and everything else she verbalizes. Seems as if she can't help herself. Her mouth moves and the lies come spilling out. Where are your tax returns? I am a lifelong Democrat but will NOT vote for HRC, someone who confirms that she will do anything, say anything and distort anything to receive her "entltlement." She is so silly.

Shame on you Hilary. What is more important, the country or your political career? Do the right thing and bow out now. Your ego is unreal.

about jonathan R. posting:

What!! you are going to drag Billy Graham into this mud bath. He is not even in the same low league as Rev Wright. You might need to listen closer to Billy Graham you just might find out some things you don't seem to know.

I do not like Clinton AT ALL but at least she had the courage to speak out strongly against racism. I doubt her motivations; I think they are probably more out of selfish desire to get elected rather than any real dislike of racism, but still she spoke out.

Walk...I would have thought that she would "run head down to the waiting vehicles."

I find Clinton's moral flexibility utterly fascinating.

So a minister is supposed contend that America won't be(or hasn't been)(or isn't being) punished by God for it's sins? What minister would contend that America is above the wrath of God? Of course we are being punished. How else can a minister explain George The Worst President Ever W. Bush?

9/11 was purportedly carried out by folks who pray 5 times a day. They are talking to God all of the time so who should question their motives. They were directed by God no matter how much manifest destiny you try to cover them with.

They are both wrong.

Obama was not offended until it became politically expedient or politically necessary. And yes, he could have and should have "disowned" Wright a long time ago. He gave a great speech but didn't adequately defend his character. He had 20 years to find his outrage.

Clinton is obviously transparent. She and hubby sat through many sermons from Dr. Vaught and didn't learn a thing. She invents "experience" in an attempt to justify her Day 1 claim. But if spending time in the White House and occasionally sleeping with Bill is experience, there are a number of "qualified" women.

So...

Let's take the gloves off. The GOP will be doing it, so let's get it all out of the way. Her Whitewater and Rose Law and his narcotics. His poor judgment in friends, pastor, and advisers and her poor judgment in friends and advisors. (For her, pastor is irrelevant - any of her religious observance is a sham.) His lack of experience and her invented experience. Slug it out and let the "Supers" evaluate who can take a GOP punch best.

If either one can truly be President, they can no longer coast on their race or gender. Their aids immediately brand any hard question as either sexist or racist. If the candidates can't take a punch, they can't be President. So, prove their competence or concede to the GOP.

How about her church? The Fellowship...

http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/2007/09/hillarys-prayer.html

And she wonders why Richardson dropped his alliance with her.

Gosh, then why didn't she leave Bill if she's so righteous? And, by the way, is she currently dodging snipers in Bosnia?

Hillary lied and made up the sniper story, like her husband many times. Barack lied and knows his pastors views completely and lied about saying he did not know them, and I am sure he agrees with them, Barack is a wolf in sheeps wool. Vote for McCain , a true american .

Time for someone to dig up a video or story about Hillary Clinton not walking out on someone making controversial and inflametory statements. I know the video is out there, who will be the first to bring it forward?

Nobody could ever believe that if HRC would ever walkout. She as a woman who for reasons unknown to the entire world had always stood by a husband whose turpitude and the most degrading behaviors against women whom she claims constitute her constituency had never dared to walkout in the defense and solidarity of them! She who stood by the Oval Office while for several occasions Bill was pawing Monica Lewinsky!

Wow... poor choice in the puddle to sling mud from.. Sorry that already matches the recently painted walls.. Obama is looking brighter and seems to be able to keep an open, honest, and clean campaign. I still like Bill but I don't think American can handle a bunch of Rig-a-ma-roo from presidents any longer. A little is OK when things are running smooth, but we have run a ground, and need a honest, likable, driven-to-change/fix, person in office.. I feel Hilliary is to accustom to the political rig-a-ma-roo and would only feed to it, not really push for the hard changes that are needed. these comments only enforce the Rig-a-ma-roo she is about..
P.S. I like the word Rig-a-ma-roo for the current political situtation.....

If Bill had not been the President she would have left him. Political ambition people. It rules her world.

Good point, Jonathan R.

Also, the majority of Wright's comments were taken out of context, specifically the comments about 9/11 and God Damn(not goddamn, there's a difference) America. Comparing him to Don Imus, is erroneous. Watch the full sermons if you can, don't rely on BSNBC, Faux News, or Clinton News Network for honesty on this subject.

Seriously, Hillary, please concede. We are tired of you....

Walking out on Bill is an ignorant response. Any CHRISTIAN would have walked out on that racist anti-american. How many of you have cheated on been cheated on.

what else is clinton supposed to say? that she would have stayed also? only a foolish person would associate themselves with this junk and then expect for everyone to understand. Also, how do you compare a cheating husband to anti-american preachings? Unless bill was shouting "goddamn america" while he was receiving his pleasures from monica, then hillary should have left him....haha. so many ignorant voters out there......its amazing!!!

Apples to oranges you idiots. Obama is not married to Rev Wright, he just goes to his church. And Hilliary is right, Obama cna give a great speech, but it all boils down to he knew where the Pastor stood and he stayed in the church anyway. You go to church to learn about gods love, not to listen to words of hate.

I am with those who believe that Senator Clinton should withdraw and add her support to Senator Obama's efforts to unite us. Senator Clinton should be gracious. America is going to miss its best chance yet to heal itself if Senator Clinton insists on a floor fight.

Hillary Clinton sounds more and more like Karl Rove......

CALIFORNIAMARTY SAYS,
Obama chose to subject his children to the ravings of this man. He preaches hate of America, White People and used disgusting gyrations simulating sex while ranting about Bill Clinton "riding Monica Lewinsky"
This Rev. traveled with Louis Farrakhan to visit the man to was behind the Munich Olympics slaughter of Israeli's athletes, the "Mad Dog of the Middle East", Gadaffi in the 80's. Louis Farrakhan called Judaism a "gutter religion" and praised Adolph Hitler as "a great man" He wants Israel destroyed. Rev. Wright's church magazine honored this racist by giving him the highest award. The most contributions made by Obama and his wife were to this church.
He would not leave the church quietly and will not renounce this purveyor of hate and discontent. He asks for a racial discussion that has been going on for decades. Obama has set race relations back 50 years. He wants to keep the votes and will sell his soul to do it.
His support for the State of Israel is questionalble. The Rezko scam will soon be plastered all over the news and more questions will be raised about judgement that he himself called "boneheaded" This is big and Rezko is on trial right now!
His judgment if not his loyalty is now an issue in this campaign. The Website of the Church shows that their loyalty is to Africa. Google it and read for yourself. They have toned it down since the outting putting the word "black" in lower case.

I would have walked out. Anyone who loves their children would have too.

Hillary has many many faults. but she is right on this one.

The bad judgment shown by Obama not leaving Wrights' church early on will be wonderful attack fodder by the Republican Party should he make it through as the candidate. His speech was a brilliant dodge from the actual issue - his judgment. He can't have good judgment - such as his no vote on the war - and have made the bad judgment to have sat through decades of hate-filled sermons (no less placed Wright as a spiritual advisor on his team). That's not loyalty, that's a disconnect of judgment. If he needed a father figure, why not choose someone with a better outlook?

America deserves, at least, a President with dignity, courage and the backbone to stand up to evil; especially evil words. Remember that all it takes for evil to take root, is for good people to remain silent.

It is over; it was over in IOWA; it is time to move on.. Hilary please let it go.

I'll bet that if anyone checks, they will find out that Hillary doesn't even go to church!

Interesting. Doesn't she know that this opens the door to people asking about her church association? Hillary's belonged to "The Family" for decades; a right-wing bunch of nutcases if there ever was one. Privately, they claim to have influenced Hil's stand on several issues that would surprise a lot of her supporters. Go ahead, people, google it or go here: http://www.thenation.com/doc/20080331/ehrenreich

Ah! She will walk out on her Pastor if he was Rev Wright----- I am proud of Obama for not walking out. When you meet people you in your life-- you weigh the good and bad. If the good outweighs the bad you stay and form a relationship. Hillary stayed with Bill after all his affairs even when he was making out while they were in the White House: That is her buisness.... She should get off Obama's case, because she will get burned: she and her husband have more dead bodies in the closet than any other person I know (literally).

So Hillary dear: cool your jets and stick to exaggerations of Bosnia and how experiemced you are-- because if you were a normal person and I met you-- I will not choose to be with you because your BAD outweighs the GOOD.

I will take Obama as my friend and my President ANYTIME.

Interesting timing from HRC on this issue. Question is, does anyone believe her?

I'm suprised how alot of you say "she didn't walk out on her husband" Are you all that stupid...that is a personal decision between a man and a wife.
What happens when a wife has an affair...should a man just up and go??? People try to stay together because they love each other. If my wife had an affair, I would try to keep the marriage because I love her that much. If it is over then it's over but if there is a reason that drove her or me to that point then maybe we can work on it. I believe that ALL of you who say "she didn't walk out on her husband", ask yourself, would you have...and if the answer is yes, then I feel sorry for you when other problems arise in the marriage and maybe that's why he would cheat on you in the first place because he knows your love cannot withstand a bad judgement.

I have a friend who broke up with his girlfriend because she was talking racist all the time and he hated it because he dated a black girl at one time so he broke up with her.

An affair can be a one time thing, racism is a character flaw that is inbred and CANNOT be changed.

Would you leave your husband if he were an alcoholic, what is he had a fatal disease.

Point is, that is a personal decision between a man and his wife and if you don't agree with that then who made you God almighty.

Go Hillary, your right a pastor should not make statements about such things they don't want government involved in their business. I feel the pastor has a right to his opinion but he should keep it to himself and friends not tell the world. This only makes him look stupid and small and hurts the one person he should be trying to help senator Obama.

I think Hillary Clinton, while highly qualified to be Commander in Chief, should refrain from all the name calling and the "he said she said" nonsense. She and Bill have dug a deep hole in this political contest for the Democrats and should think about dropping out!

It is past time for all American people to defend our country from WORDS those words Wright said about our country his comment about chickens coming home to roost and his comment about aids is unacceptable to sit and listen to such hateful anger at our country and keep going for 20 years is also unacceptable . I will not vote for Obama because of this. it has nothing to do with race as most families have mixed race in their family ( I can not believe that all black people agree with wright for I am sure he offended them too )in a discussion with my grown children months ago I said if he had more experience I thought he would make a good president boy was I wrong now they all know how I will vote if obama is the democrats choice my whole family will vote for McCain for I have no doubt about his defending our country from those kinds of remarks.If you can't defend your country against words like those then why should we trust you you to take care of our country

Chris you would love for her to drop out as that is the only way Obama can win the nomination. You all are so afraid of the convention..lol. By the end of this round of primaries Hillary will have the popular vote and so close in delegate count that the convention is a lost cause for Obama. By the time the motion is put on the floor for a vote to accept the Florida & Michigan delegates and the party will not want a NO vote on national TV so they will be seated it will put Hillary over the top fair and square and then it is on to the White House to fix our countries problems:) If Obama grows and is a good student maybe we will consider him in 2016.

No one with the right mind would ever pick Rev. Wright's church and run for an office. This is the true Obama hiding behind words. If words matter - why does Wright's words do not matter. Because it does not suite Obama's purpose. Obama like Wright does not know that religion and politics don't mix. People go to church to learn and hear the word of God- not to be brain washed with hatred. Obama should first change the mindset of his friends and relatives - then sing the song of change. How is it that he rejects the 'words' of Wright but could not change them in over 20 years. How is he going to change America. He will be worst than George Bush.

Come on.......Obama as a president....you got to be kidding.

His wife say, she's finally proud to be an American? Horse Sh@#T..........where was she in the past years of her life.

His Pastor......talking smack about Sept. 11th, god dam america. Say that in front of those families that lost love ones and men & women in the military and see what happen.

If they're not proud to be an american, then Obama is not proud to be an american too. That's why was wearing a muslim clothing.

It is not about black and white..........what about those who are not black and white.

Experience counts. Who would you hire, if you were running a show, one with experience, or one that talks and no action?

hillary is right

Look! Over there! It's a scary black minister!

There are 116 United Church of Christ churches in the Chicago area. There are over a dozen within 10 miles of Barack & Michelle Obama’s home. Why that church? As a private citizens if your family is fine with a pastor and church who holds as even a small part of there views anti American, Anti Semitic, Pro Hamas Terrorist organization, Anti white as part of the ministry it is your right to stay as members and be feed spiritually there and if that is what feeds your soul, fine we as fellow Americans support your rights to that. As to America being OK with our President being a member of such a church, we say no way! No one has ask you to change faiths but a change in church fellowship and spiritual advisers of which you have 116 other churches and pastors to choose from is totally within a reasonable request for someone running to be the next President of the United States! Thank you Barack Obama for your radio address where you let us know you and Michelle have chosen to continue being spiritually feed from that specific church and pastor with ALL there messages. We will support your right to that as a private citizen but we will not elect you as our President. Change & Unity are more then words they require action and hard work! The kind of solutions to serious problems we face is what Hillary Clinton offers us and is the real change and unity we are looking for. You may speak the words about these things but your actions do not.

Obama vs. McCain: I vote Obama. Hillary vs. McCain: I vote McCain.

You Obama supporters, you just can't stand man being called fake and liar? Why? It is because it is true and it goes to say your judgement of supporting him. Hillary can't get him now but McCain will. Obama go home and do some work for your country and saving us with you useless speeches.

"Hillary is white! How does her opinion matter?? "

That's why Obama will never win. No guts no glory. If he can't win on substance he'll try to win by going to the gutter. He lies all the time and then has the gall to point fingers at others.

And if that doesn't work he plays the race card.

I can't wait to vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't get the nomination.

Obama can't win in the general election.

The media is hovering dangerously near a third rail with by the constant attention to the Rev. Wright story. The American public hates to be lied too especially when the public swallows the lie, hook, line and sinker. In the case of Wright's patriotism at some point in time the fact that he helped save the life of President Lyndon Johnson during a medical procedure when he was a cardiopulmonary technician in the Navy after six years in The United States Marines will surface. As far as the story of his trip to Libya with Farrakhan the truth is that Wright and Farrakhan were part of a rescue team led by Jesse Jackson in 1984 which resulted in the freeing of Navy pilot Lt. Ronald Goodman who had been shot down over Lebanon -- a service to the country recognized by then-President Ronald Reagan.

The Dem's continue to find way's to screw up taking the presidency. They couldn't beat the idiocy of Bush....twice! Now when they presumably have all the chips on their side to take it this time.....their propping up a paper tiger! Obama will fold like a cheap suit once the Repub's get their hands on him. You think Hillary is "monster" just wait and see what those lovable "honest" repuke's will do next... From NO chance to a great chance.... President Mc Cain! Nice job Dem's you've managed to screw up yet another election! Get some new leadership and maybe actually learn something from the Republicans....if you can't beat them then you might as well join them!

I hope Rev. Wright sues Fox news, Hillary Clinton and the rest for defamation of character and possible copyright infringements. She is mentally unstable as evidenced by her behavior. Pathological liar:

Exaggerates things that are ridiculous.One-upping. Whatever you do, this person can do it better.They construct a reality around themselves. Obviously, they will contradict what they say. This will become very clear over time. They usually aren't smart enough to keep track of so many lies. They change their story all the time. They act very defensively when you question their statements. They believe what they say is true, when everyone else knows it is * Lies when it is very easy to tell the truth.
Lies to get sympathy, to look beter, to save their butt, etc. Fools people at first but once they get to know him, no one believes anything they ever say. May have a personality disorder.
Extremely manipulative. Has been caught in lies repeatedly. Never fesses up to the lies. Is a legend in their own mind. The narcissist often criticizes others, sometimes to the extent of damaging their reputation.A narcissist feels entitled to special privileges.The narcissist can be emotionally abusive

Guilt By Assoition .How Can They Even Bring This Up ??
Sure If Obama Said Those Things That The Rev. Said Thats One Thing !!
But Just Cause Someone You Know Says These Things (NOT THE SAME)!!
Lets Hols Hillary Accountable For What Bill Says
Both Liars !!

This has been going on way too long. I changed my registration so I could vote in the Democratic primary in Pennsylvania because I'm so disgusted with an administration that is at once ignorant and arrogant, and because I therefore thought the goal was to win in November and not just win the primary. Obama is winning the nomination because of his overwhelming support among blacks, but just how many white Republicans will end up voting for him? Nevertheless, Clinton is dragging this out to the detriment of the party. I now intend to vote for Obama because I'm just so tired of having to always read the fine print whenever Clinton speaks and because her constant strategizing is hurting the party and will the country, if she inadvertently gives fodder to the McCain camp, thereby securing his election.

Wow! This is a new low. I could NEVER support such a devious and manipulative person such as Hillary. How insulting of you Ms. Clinton to think that we are too dumb and ignorant to see that you're trying to get the heat off the Bosnia incident that you so eloquently lied about...you know, the sniper? running for cover? Quite a long story to brush off as "I misspoke." You went on and on with that story knowing that it was a blatant lie all along.

By the way. If you couldn't walk out on Bill after Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinksy and others, I must conclude that you cannot control your own house less more the White House!

Personally, I think Bill Clinton was right to question Obama's patriotism. Heck, I question it.

How does Bill Clinton's affairs become equivalent to racist speech? That was a private matter between Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. The pastor's sermons were quite public. He was basically inciting people and from the video the congregation was in agreement. I would walk out regardless of the state of my marriage. If I attend a church, mosque, temple, or synagogue where the religious leader exhorts us the way Wright did, I am not responsible the first time. If I return for more exhortations, I become complicit. If the preacher makes hateful comments to me privately, I will privately tell the preacher to stop. If the preacher does not respect my feelings, the private conversation comes to an end.

She wouldn't have just walked out! She would have RAN out, under sniper fire, to her car and sped away, barely escaping with her life! Well, at least that's what she would tell us happened later. But then again, she says MILLIONS of words a day, we can't expect them ALL to be the truth!
Gimme a break, the only thing she is more experienced is LYING. They are all crooks that are out to get as much as they can at the cost of America. Familairize yourself with Ron Paul before you vote! If you like him, write in his name at the ballots, if you don't like him at least know why.

Hillary should stick it out. She'll pick up the Fla & MI dlegates on her terms because those delegates and their delegation leaders/state party leaders know who was trying to help them, who left her name (and who removed his name) on the MI ballot. He got whupped in Fla and didn't want another whuppen in MI so he took his name off. They also know who was trying to disenfranchise them. Factor in 2 million more votes and her rightful share of the 2 sets of delegates and Obama is behind. So his campaign made bad decisions... too bad. Hillary should benefit from her foresight. she knew those delegates could not be permenantly ignored. Else the Dems give Fla & MI to John McCain in Nov. John Dean has a "48 state strategy." Not bright on his part. Convention floor fight = mess for Obama... but Hillary should force it.... and win the nomination.... Or the party is a fraud.

66% of the country believes that we should end the Iraq war. They also believe that Bush started this war through lies and deceit. Hundreds of thousands have been killed and/or displaced. I believe that 66% of the country should reject and denounce Bush and his politics and move to another country. Why not! Bush’s actions were much worse that Wrights words. Sounds ridiculous doesn’t it. It won’t happen because they love America and know that America has much more to offer than Bush’s politics. The same is true for Obama. He doesn’t leave his church because he knows that it has much more to offer than Reverend Wrights politics. The church provides immeasurable services to many of the less fortunate and downtrodden citizens of Chicago. If everyone left that church, there would be a huge void. Who would fill that void? Probably some level of government.!!

IF Hillary is thinking about throwing Obama under the Bus for 2012 she should most definately STOP her ways before WE THE PEOPLE get TIRED of all this nonsense. IF she continues she will have lost her chance for 2012 or 2016.....

Come on.......Obama as a president....you got to be kidding.

His wife say, she's finally proud to be an American? Horse Sh@#T..........where was she in the past years of her life.

Jon ~ Just to let you know.... the entire question and answer given by Michell were, once again, not given in full text. Michell said she if finally proud to be an American because the american people we getting "involved" in politics. There were 2 Dem candidates that were drawing the American people in to politics. She was finally "proud" because "many" people are engaged and finally voicing their opinions and are interested in this years political race...... that's it... no underlying "message". Just plain and simple.....

I guess Hillary would have walked out in tears after Wright endorsed Obama and complained that nobody had ever called her a black boy.

Senator Clinton wants to make this a character battle? I think she may be ill equipped...

During a speech last week in Washington, Hillary said, ``I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.''

In February, she made a similar claim during a speech in Waco, Texas. Now she just "mispoke". She is nothing but a calculating Liar! All her "experiences" and "readiness on day one" are lies and deliberate falsehoods. She will do anything to get to the White house, but by the grace of God she will fail. America is tired of liars and deceivers in the corridors of power. Hillary shame on you. The truth will always outlive the lie.

Hillary says she would have left the church if the pastor said the things Rev. Wright said. But she tells lies. How can we believe her? I refuse to have a president going in who I know is a blatant liar. People are saying she is so smart then why didn't she think that people would go back and find that video? Obama could have said he no longer has any dealings with Rev. Wright. But he manned up and admitted he still had special feelings for him as a father figure. Rev. Wright does not hate his country. If racist Caucasians would leave, notice I didn't say all Caucasian people, he would hold a parade at which all Black people would attend. He just doesn't like the manner in which it is being run, which is true of the majority of us. If you read Webster's definition of the word "racist" you will understand that black people can't be racists. It means to be prejudiced. We do not pre-judge. Racist Caucasian people do. They assume things about us that are not true. We KNOW what they did to us.

Castnostones- hooray for you There is no comparison.

They both have spun the truth. What you have got to ask yourself is who has the best interest of our country in their heart? Someone who hates America and has ties to terror or someone who loves her country and doesn't. Though Hillary is not perfect. She is the best choice.

Obama and his wife are anti-american and I cant understand why anybody would not believe that. By their own statements. I have seen him make fun of the bible. That is why he didn't walk out of the church. That is his kind of church. And he will raise his kids to be just like him and the vicious cycle continjues.
Michelle Obama tried to get at the hearts of women who she evidently thought were just like her who struggle just to get by in this country. While spending some 10,000 a year on extra cirricular activities for her children. With their income being somewhere along 500,000/year. Well cry me a river and find a group of people in this country other than than those poor folks she was trying to convice. You are not just like most hard working Americans. And if this is a sign of the kind of attitude one has when they become successful after being suppressed for ever and a day then I dont see a bright future for the rest of the people who are feeling suppressed. What will America possibly be able to do to satisfy people with attitudes such as hers?

If Obama gets the white house which I sincerely doubt. We will see all types of organizations surface that will make all decent americans cringe. White, Black, Hispanic and all others.

America owes no one a living. Including myself. Ask not what can your country do for you. Ask what can I do for my country. JKF

And Obama just thinks the Hillary campaign is giving him a hard time. Wait until the GOP gets a hand on him. We only think we know things about ole Obama. There will be much more to enlighten us. I would say that then all of you who voted for Obama in the primaries would have voters remorse but you wont, if you could you would already have it.

This is from Hillary's own minister. Maybe she should heed his words.

A STATEMENT CONCERNING THE REV. JEREMIAH WRIGHT

The Reverend Jeremiah Wright is an outstanding church leader
whom I have heard speak a number of times. He has served for
decades as a profound voice for justice and inclusion in our society.
He has been a vocal critic of the racism, sexism and homophobia
which still tarnish the American dream. To evaluate his dynamic
ministry on the basis of two or three sound bites does a grave
injustice to Dr. Wright, the members of his congregation, and the
African-American church which has been the spiritual refuge of a
people that has suffered from discrimination, disadvantage, and
violence. Dr. Wright, a member of an integrated denomination, has
been an agent of racial reconciliation while proclaiming perceptions
and truths uncomfortable for some white people to hear. Those of us
who are white Americans would do well to listen carefully to Dr.
Wright rather than to use a few of his quotes to polarize. This is a
critical time in America's history as we seek to repent of our racism.
No matter which candidates prevail, let us use this time to listen again
to one another and not to distort one another's truth.

Dean J. Snyder, Senior Minister
Foundry United Methodist Church
March 19, 2008

OBAMA SUPPORTERS: Do you agree with these statements made by Rev. Wright's mentor, James Cone, which discuss the nature of Obama's religion, black liberation theology? 1. To be Christian is to be one of those whom God has chosen. God has chosen black people. 2. While it is true that blacks do hate whites, black hatred is not racism. 3. All white men are responsible for white oppression. 4. Theologically, Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man "the devil." 5. If there is any contemporary meaning of the Antichrist, the white church seems to be a manifestation of it. 6. "Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community . . Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love." ** All of these statements are taken directly from Cone's seminal work on black theology entitled "Black Theology and Black Power." This is the “theology” to which Obama has been subjecting his innocent children.

Obama is our Savior. Barak and Reverend Wright are Right, God D*** america. Now is the time to rally around Barak and Michelle and make them proud! And news flash america, Barak is right, your typical white american is a racist! Obama will apologize to our Muslim brothers for arrogant american policies of hate and slavery. Only Obama can forgive an evil nation founded slavery. REPARATIONS NOW!

Reverend Wright never killed or harmed anyone. He helped unemployed steel workers get training and a job, he helped homeless people get shelter, he fed the hungry. The vast number of his sermons dealt with the importance of community sevice and helping our fellow Americans.

On the other hand, Hillary spent her time on the Wal-Mart Board of Directors making sure that their workers didn't get a fair wage or health insurance. She spent her time at Rose Law firm representing companies fighting unions. She spent her time covering for Bill's bimbo episodes, she spent her time "dodging sniper bullets" in Bosnia.

And then we have George W Bush who is single handedly responsible for sending our soldiers into Iraq for "weapons of mass destruction- where 4000 of them have died and over 30,000 of them wounded, where we have created over 2,000,000 refugees, destroyed the infrastructure of the country and killed over 100,000 Iraqis in the civil war that we created.

And we are worried about several inflammatory soundbytes culled from a 1000 sermons from a black preacher? Something is seriously wrong with out thinking. Americans: wake up and stop being manipulated by corporate greed. They are using your fears and your basic ignorance to divide us. This swift boat stuff must not distract us from what is fundamentally important to our country.

Barackobama2008

It's all over for Obama the professional candidate.

After the Wright debacle, he won't even win when he runs for the governor of Illinois...I heard that was his plan so he can try again for the presidents race in 2016.

He is already anticipating his loss and preparing for yet another job. He is a professional candidate, isn't he.

This woman is not only getting desperate but she is also looking like she is getting desperate.

Do we want a president who will betray this lack of self confidence?

Moreover, do we want a Democratic Party whose registered voters and hard working campaigners are, in the end, betrayed by super-delegates in favor of the Clintons who are superior only in their own imaginations?

BTW – Where are her tax returns?

I'm surprised she had the nerve to touch this considering Wright was invited to the White House by them for consolation during the Lewinski scandal. They knew Wrights views too. We all saw the picture. Oh, and there’s more pictures, with her Bill and Wright.

People, put this in perspective; Wright is nationally known. He was on TV preaching sermons this Easter (pre-taped I suppose). He has been invited to preach all over the country. Get a grip on reality.

So, he has strong views of America? So do I and I'm white. Was he out of line with a couple of those comments, sure, but hardly deserves this much attention.

We are the only country in the world to use Nuclear bombs to kill thousands of innocent people, not once but twice, but lets not talk about that. The Iraq war was waged on shameful lies. America is too arrogant all mighty for its own good and it is part of the reason why extremist are out to get us. Maybe our chickens have come home to roost.

Wait a minute now. All of a sudden Hillary is receiving much more venom from Obama's supporters for Mr. Wright's hate speech than Wright and Obama. What's up with this? Wright was spewing hate from the pulpit in his church about the United States and asking God to damn or curse America. Obama should have left, but he he chose not to. Hillary said she would have left. What has this decision have to do with her relationship with her husband. When she married Bill, she made a committment before God to become one. Wright was Obama's mentor not his wife he didn't make a vow before God to try and work things out if the marriage began to disintigrate. Even Jesus in one of his sermons said adultery is a cause for divorce, but he also indicated that its between the couple if the partner who was wronged choose to forgive the other. Hillary chose to forgive Bill when he asked for her forgiveness. Pastor Wright has not said he is sorry for his hate speeches, yet Obama has forgiven him and attributesthese remarks to segregation and discrimination suffered by Wright in the sixties. If Obama thinks Wright is still harboring animosity from the Jim Crow era, then he should tell him to get over it. Wright is about the age of my oldest brother, and we all have suffered from discrimination and segregation, but we don't live with resentment and hatred in our hearts. Being a supposedly man of God, I would think that the Reverend would leave such matters of the God who is the ultimate judge of all, and wait upon him for his salvation. Further religion and politics should never mix. Anyway, I think Hillary should have answered reporters two weeks ago when asked the question, but its better late than never. As usual Obama is trying to divert attention to someonelse instead of dealing with the problem. His campaign has overused the race card, now they are trying to comb any document of the Clintons for any fault to use against her. So much for the politics of change and hope.

It was not just Bills affairs being personal. He committed perjury which undermines the Judicial System, is a felony and violates the Ten Commandments. It is not just that she cannot control her own house, let alone the White House.or her campaign. She said she did not know. After 25 years and who knows the total number of women. She either knew and lied on television to the merican people again, so does not deserve to be President. Or she did not know, and is too out of touch with reality and her surroundings to be President.

All this talk of Wright being anti-American or not patriotic is foolish. One can be patriotic and still not approve of everything that yor government does. Failures od American foreign policy in the middle east have helped give rise to Islamic Fundementalism, in addition to poverty and corrupt governments that are our "friends".
The American government does bear some indirect responsibility for September 11. If we are safer now, it is because we have made security tighter and not because the policies that cause extremists to hate us have changed.

And American money and weapons have been used by the Israelis for forty years to kill completely innocent Palestinian women and children by the thousands and take their lands in violation of international law, which the American government just ignores. This fact is not an opposition to the security of Israel. But Rev Wrights statements were based on truth and the killing of innocents is wrong and against the ten commandments and the Geneva Convention, and is not helping peace in the region.

So if you want to call Rev. Wright anti-American, at least listen to his entire 4 sermons and not just the 30 second of inflamatory language taken our of context, And maybe the other 5000 sermons he gave. And study and maybe think about American history and policy in the middle east. You may find that he is not only accurate in what he says but is trying to push America toward a more safe world. America must take responsibility for its actions and get off its self imposed pedestal of righteousness if it wants to be safe in a dangerous world.

If he has said the same things in substance on a Sunday morning talk show but in less inflammatory language and wearing a grey suit,, it would not have have even caused a ripple. Others have said the same but in a quite manner. So Rev Wright, and by extension Obama, is being castigated for speaking in a manner of delivery like many black preachers do...including Dr. King..

America had better start talking to the world and stop dictating what others must do...or more chickens be coming home to roost. You cut off Japanese oil, you get sailors dying at Pearl Harbor. Nothing new here. Like being in a boxing ring. You may be bigger and know you will wind, but don't expect not to ever get hit in the face.

Hillary, you getting desperate to make a statement " THAT YOU WOULD HAVE WALKED OUT". You really think that people are naive enough not to recognize the difference of 3 (three)words from Imus in comparison to the repeated speeches of Wright of hate and anti-American.

Is it not true that Wright was one of the black preachers that was called to Bill Clinton side for repenteness, forgiveness and spiritial healing after the affair with intern - Lewinsky?

Why are people engaged in debate about Hillary R. Clinton LIES? Bill Lying to avoid impeachment. Lying to the populations of the USA before TVs? And more pathologically damaging for HRC is telling lies knowing that her daughter Chelsea did witness events related to the Bosnian sniper issue and many others to her resume about experience? Lying became a genetic family disorder: which can be summarized as a MYTHOMANIA OR: AN ABNORMAL OR PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCY TO EXAGERATE OR TELL LIES. THESE ARE SOME REASONS WHY SHE IS NOT QUALIFIED TO BECOME THE US PRESIDENT!

Victoria- Hillary doesn't need to throw Obama under a bus. He has done a good job at that just being himself. Isn't he just the greatest man you would ever want to be around? And so honest? Patriotic?

Wendell- I agree with you 100%. She should stick it out. Those votes and delegates are hers. And I have asked anyone out there that knows for a fact that she campaigned in Fl or MI to send me a link. I have gotten no response. She went and gave a VICTORY speech after WINNING FL. However Obama had a national campaign going on that played in FL how convenient for him.
Everyone keeps talking about double standards. Arent Obamas just words a double? In so many instances. Lets empower the people by not having a revote and disenfranchising them. Yeh you go Obama, thats change we can really believe in.
The bottom line is Hillary is already our nominee by the people. So if she gets robbed of it the DNC is a fraud.
The notion that she is hurting the demo's for the general is totally ignorant. She nor Obama is hurting the demo's at this point. Most people already know what they are going to do whether they will admit it or not.

And you talk about diversion. Obamas campaign are masters at this. I can't believe that nobody sees how they are talking about the sniper fire incident or lack there of to get the focus off of his loving Pastor. Give me a break.

Once again I am not surprised at how this country votes. I mean we did put Bush in there twice. The DNC will screw up yet another election where the demo's had all the advantages to getting the white house.

What a great party. The GOP is a little to confident. They know that Hillary will beat McCain in the general. That is why they have been on and off the bash Hillary wagon. If Obama gets the nomination we will lose the white house. I would prefer to have McCain than Obama at least there is no question that he loves this country. God save our country and watch over our soldiers.

Barack: why do you persist in trying to tear down Hillary Clinton, when there is universal consensus that you can't possibly win the nomination without the superdelegates.

Are you so blinded by your lust for power that you would risk destroying your party and put the country through 4 more years of disaster and ruination under McCain?

This election is really about you and your delusional sense of entitlement to the presidency and perpetuating the afro-centric black political franchise. As if there was ever any doubt. You are basking in America's white guilt, and you know it!

If the shoe were on the other foot, and reporters kept asking Senator Obama what he would have done if Hillary's Pastor had said such hateful things from the pulpit of a Christian Church, I am sure his answer would be the same as Senator Clinton's.

Senator Obama, as a community organizer of the south side of Chicago, has a deep commitment to the community that worshops at Trinity Church. That church contains his extended family with whom he has attended baptisms, marriages, burials - the full cycle of life.

It is not about the pastor and if Senator Obama took his family out to find a more PG sermon, it would be a profound rejection of the Trinity family.

Check out Obama`s church web site, www.tucc.org/home, and the church`s magazine web site, www.trumpetmag.com/, and then you can make a decision on whether you think this church is 99% white, what you voters think about this Wright and Trinity United Church controversity, where Obama has been going to church for the last 20 years. This is in a article in the church web site, explaining the church:

We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.

You use to be able to buy the Wright sermons on the church website, although I did not see them there tonight. I think a person should be able to get a idea after reading thru both the church and their magazine web pages, what this church he attends is all about and get a idea the kind of person Barack Obama is.

We are being told by Obama that we should no longer talk about this subject, but I think there is still people that want to know more, before making a decision on whether they should vote for him. What does he not want us to know, that he is telling us people to quit digging about him, that he has to hide???

if she plans of running this country like she's running her campaign, she doesn't need to be elected, but she always has the option of just lying that she won.

#61 is absolutely right. Unless you're a coward or just in complete voodoo denial.[new subject]
The honorable Mrs. Clinton has every right to draw attention to Rev. Wright and Barrack Hussein Obama being in the same spiritual bed. The Clintons have been horribly battered by the GOP (grand old party? Historically junior to the Democratic Party) in the past and hunted down shamefully in dangerously critical times for this country. Very selfish. Mrs. Clinton has not set the standard for being twisted and dirty in politics by far. I loudly commend every free American for standing up for their choices. Let's get it right this time. No more Bushit. I didn't raise or elect that moron. Our Economy is on the verge people. If McCain gets his wish he will finish what G dub started and run this country right into the ground just out of highly questionable and suspicious spite against the rightful guidance of the majority of Americans. A power struggle if you will to prove to us average Americans that They have the power and we should just shut up and sit down. It also seems to me that the longer the War carries on the higher the Gas prices soar. Are the Oil companies partially funding the war by sticking it to us in the pump and taking what they need? Or is this some kind of Oil temper tantrum in resistance to the Green movement that requires that we live healthier happier petroleum free lives in the face of looming global warming and pollution? We are definitely in the middle of a handful of power struggles not all for the right reasons at heart. On another note, be thankful for the soldiers of this nation that sacrificed their lives in the Civil War to emancipate those who were snatched from their spaceous native country by corrupt foreign trading companies and wrongfully sold to an opportunistic and naive young country. One thing I would like to know is who instigated the whole slave dealing enterprise? Who sowed the seeds of destruction possible knowing full well what kind of problems this would cause the rebellious new country? Was this part of a master plan slyly nudged into existence by highly intelligent old world strategizers? Will we ever truly know?

I have come to the conclusion that the democratic party may be blind to what is going on.

1. Yes, a black man could become president of the USA in this day and age.

2. Obama who has written books for all to read has exposed himself and that has raised many unanswered questions about who he is (perceived racist?) and now he will never win the general election.

3. Because of #2, many of those who are not black and were going to vote for him will no longer support him because of the revelations.

3. In my own non-scientific poll, those who were going to vote for him if Hillary lost, no longer will, they will vote for McCain as I will.

4. As a white person, I now have to vote for the white guy because of Obamas revelations. It's called protectionism.

5. Blacks are a minority, do the math. Due to #2.

6. It is possible Obama is aware of this but he has to continue on because dropping out would appear to be a sign of weakness.

7. Hillary might be awareof this and that is why she is fighting so hard because she just might have a chance. How can she come out and say "a black man can become the president of the USA but not this black man"...she can't.

8. I know after reading this some will call me a racist (which I am not and my black friends can prove it but, that is unrealistic since you don't know me). In the end, racist, bigoted, uninformed, stupid, unintelligent, whatever we are or are not, we all get to vote.

9. I don't mean this as support for Hillary but, every vote for Obama will be a vote for McCain.

If you are an Obama supporter, take a moment, step back, pretend this is a television show and we are at a commercial break. Think about it objectively,
remove yourself from being caught up in the hype. How do you really think this will end when you add up all the numbers. The republicans will have us beat.

Who would have thought Bush would have won a second term.I sure didn't.

Because of Obama, I now look at McCain more objectively and after Hillary, McCain no longer looks that bad to me.

Please cut and copy this letter post it everywher, send it to your congressman, senator whomever because this makes sense and because of Obamas revelations, he no longer does.

I support the USA and ALL AMERICANS!!!

CALIFORNIAMARTY SAYS, HILLARY SAID SHE WOULD HAVE LEFT WRIGHT'S CHURCH AND THEY LAUGHED....AT HER. SHE WAS PROVED CORRECT. OBAMA LEFT FOR POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY. HE IS STILL FILLED WITH THE POISONOUS RHETORIC OF TWENTY YEARS. MICHELLE AND THEIR CHILDREN AS WELL FOR THE TIME THEY SPENT IN THE HATE SPEWING CAULDRON.
