>Nope. It's a moot point, because she is not going to be the nominee, but I will not be supporting Hillary. I might not vote for McCain but I will not vote for Hillary. Even if it means Tamar sticking her tongue out at me for not voting <g>.

>>Yeah.. right. As soon as Hillary is nominated, let's make this leap of imagination, this 'great sign' will disappear in a second.
>>
>>>This is a great sign Mike, you're finally seeing the Clintons the way many others have since Arkansas. That means there's hope you'll start seeing all politicians this way. *crossing fingers*
>>>
>>>>OK, maybe it goes way back. But I can tell you you won't find many black churches on the South Side of Chicago that aren't "black centric." What would you expect him to be, an Episcopalian?
>>>>
>>>>I don't think I am going to lighten up about this any time soon. It really makes me angry. I think Obama is a genuinely different politician and it does make me angry that now that he has a good chance of winning, everything under the sun is being flung at him. It's revolting. I know I will never forgive either of the Clintons.
>>>>
>>>>>Maybe his identity confussion goes way back.
>>>>>So there. Is that factual enough?
>>>>>
>>>>>Geez... lighten up. he's just another typical politician trying to buy your vote.
>>>>>
>>>>>>Please get your facts straight. He has been attending that church for 20 years. He was married there, his daughters were baptized there.
>>>>>>
>>>>>>>...or Obama has an identity crisis. He doesn't know what he is. So he joins an overly black centric church to prove he is black enough.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>I believe he did know. That was made pretty obvious by his waffling on it so many times. I think he used that church for political purposes all along and then it became clear that it was no longer a stepping stone but a hindrance to his campaign so he finally cut his ties publicly. I just think that he finally did what he should have done when the tirades were first made in church, stand up against the anti-american and racist comments.

>>>>>>>>>>I watched the interviews with Reverend Wright (over the past couple of weeks) and I was dissappointed in what he had to say. I watched his entire sermon and I agree that some of the quotes publicized in the past were taken out of context, but in context they were still highly inflammatory and IMHO, very anti-american and racist. I don't doubt that Obama was even more dissappointed. I don't know if his full sermons are still available, but you could download them from the church's website (warning they are 1.5 hours long). I was surprised that Obama didn't fire off a response then as Reverend Wright inferred that Obama knew full well what he was preaching all those years and Obama took a political stance to separate himself from Wright. I think Obama did the right thing responding as he did right now. To some he may be throwing the Reverend under the bus, but in my view, he is taking a stance that he should have taken long ago.
