Rev. Wright says he "speaks as a pastor; Obama speaks as a politician." Whatever that means. I'm beginning to wonder if Rev. Wright is intentionally sabotaging Obama's campaign.

He doesn't have to.  The US media is doing it for their own reasons.

cat -- I think that means that Rev. Wright tells people what they don't want to hear (because he believes they need to hear it), and politician Obama tells people what (he thinks) they want to hear (in order to try to get elected.) 

I'm tired of hearing about him, too.  I'm especially tired of hearing people like Sean Hannity beat the issue beyond *dead.;*  and I'm a conservative registered Republican!

This is about money at this point. Rev Wright is getting paid.....he could careless about Obama. Obama is not getting a fair shake in my opinion. This is not about Rev Wright. This is about Obama. They are not tying Mc Cain to Hagee so please stop tying Obama to Rev. Wright.

I really enjoyed his speech yesterday. It was very humorous. But to answer the question YES I am sick of him.

 Too Funny!

Rev Wright..I just have one more thing to say

Obama.....nooooooooooo

Guilt by association I suppose.

I wonder when actual issues will be addressed. I don't care who your pastor is, I don't care if you wear a lapel flag or not, I don't care if you have your hand over your heart or put them behind your back when the National Anthem is played. I don't care about how you had to run for cover in Bosnia, or that you have experience because you lived in the White House. Next thing you know Barry Bonds girlfriend will want credit for 300 of his HRs.

Tell me what you're gonna do about the war, about the economy, about gasoline, about food, about social security. That's what I want to know. These guys spend way too much time asking their opponents for apologies when they are ALL backsniping.

It's bad enough that television is all about stupid reality shows, and the news is ALL editorials. When are Americans going to demand that our prospective Presidents act like grownups, and having newscasters like Walter Cronkite and not prostitutes like Hannity.

Or Olberman and Moyers and Soledad Obrien and Anderson Cooper.

Now, at yesterday's NAACP event, was he trying to make a case for ebonics or what?

So what does the rest of the world think of this guy?  I doubt that they think anybody who has been "spiritually mentored" for 20 years by this guy is going to bring "hope" for the planet.

If Obama succeeds in fending off Hillary's Hostile Takeover (after today, the possibility of her stealing the nomination took another step forward), he'll lose forty states in November.

Rev. Wright doesn't like this young Obama-come-lately-who-never-had-his-head-busted-d uring-the-1960s getting all of this attention by trying to reconcile whites, blacks, and everyone else. Wright likes to flaunt that angry H. Rap Brown type of attitude.

If anyone would have predicted this six months ago, they would have been laughed out of the room, yet here it is...

It's a weird year.  McBush looked like he had no chance at getting the nomination six months ago.  Then the Republican Party lowered its already-sub-basement standards.  Six months from now things are going to look radically different.

Most of us don't really need or want to hear from Wright or any of the plethora of loud mouth evangelists, black, white, brown or or yellow spewing garbage from their pulpits.

Wright's "message" isn't a whole lot differect than Swaggart, Robinson, Hagee and a host of other egotistical, megamaniacal, high profile jerks claiming some direct connection to god.

Wright claims to be an Obama supporter, yet he can't keep his big mouth shut and continues to undermine his candidate's campaign.

He will get a nice fat advance for his next book.

The Democrats are doing a bang up job of tearing their party apart without any help from the Republicans.  Nice job folks.  It's pretty cool to watch the mud slinging coming from right inside their own party....McCain may not have to do much campaigning at all.

By the way, the lefts mocking of McCain by using the childish bastardization of his name isn't going to help the Dems in Nov.

One thing is true RF......6 months from now it WILL look radically different but I doubt it's the way you meant it.

:-)

Nor will the right's mocking of Obama for things that--after six more months of economic decline--the American people aren't going to give a crap about. 

.

I'll keep on pointing out the siamese-twin photo of Bush & McBush--I'm willing to take that chance.

( Yeah, it's photoshopped to add the caption.  Sue me.)

Given the absolute pro-McBush slant of the American media, it may not matter that he won't have much money to campaign on.   Poor guy, has to borrow his wife's jet airplane to get around.  Of course, without her millions he wouldn't be a candidate.

Strangely, I watch Tim Russert on Today this morning comment on Wright. One of his observations mirrors johnburnssucks post above. Tim says it could be a black generational divide. Barak did not live the "black experience" during the civil rights turmoil as did Wright. Obama is a young upstart who should not be speaking for black people. I think it strange logic. Like someone saying I shouldn't be talking about foreign policy because I didn't fight WWII. Tim also suggested that Wright simply likes the attention and lime light. Random is correct in saying however outspoken and divisive Wright is, it's because the slanted news media have given him the means to be outspoken and divisive.

Meanwhile, Hillary is using any device she can to hijack the nomination. She knows she can't win a popular vote or delegate count. Her challenge for a "Lincoln-Douglas" type debate would not be a debate. Hill has consistently dodged issues from both reporters and moderators and resorted to name calling, embellishment and exaggeration (no, I won't accuse her of outright lying, someone else will do that) of her own experience and credentials.

Obama has stated that Rev. Wright does not speak for him or the campaign. McCain has stated Rev. Wright should not be regarded as a reflection on Obama. It is reported that McCain requested the anti-Obama ads featuring Wright be pulled. They have not.

Those ads have not been pulled because McCain favors them.  He wants it both ways (just as on the "hundred years" Iraq occupation issue):  to be seen as "above it all" and *STILL* benefit from the attack ads. 

Typical politician.

Well Nanc, guys like Hannity and Limbaugh were slinging arrows at McCain too when they didn't think he had a chance.

Now, as predicted, they are warming up quite nicely.

But let's get real, the last thing Hannity and Limbaugh want is for McCain to get elected. They've found out it's much harder to defend than to go on the offense.

What part of "no" do all of you clowns not understand?

I am saying it today, I said it last year and I will say it next year....A Blackman cannot and will not ever be elected President of the United State of America in this century! 

This is still America,  land of the free and the home of the White man!

Anti..can't argue with you there.  Any talk show thrives on controversy.    On the other hand, IF the Dems win, what will THEY have to talk about?  Oh..lol..they can try to defend all the crap stuff Obama comes up with.

RE. the ads not being pulled.  Did any of you hear the spokesperson of the Rep party answer as to why she refused to pull the ads?  Actually it was pretty clever of McCain to ask they be pulled because every time it came up, the ads got free air time.  I did get a laugh when the gal said it had nothing to do with the presidential election that it was about her state.  Yeah...riiiiight.  LOL.

You may be right Nanc, but......I'm gonna go ahead and give him a try anyway. There's no where to go but up from here......I hope!

If he doesn't stand for Truth, Justice, and the American way, I'll have Superman cart him off to some far corner of the galaxy!

luisadobbs: I understand "no" perfectly; it's you I don't understand.

Catpaw..you would if you understood who luisa really is.  Man of a thousand names.

You may be right Nanc, but......I'm gonna go ahead and give him a try anyway. There's no where to go but up from here......I hope!

You better hope real hard anti.................

If he were white, had a 20 year pastor-mentor like Wright, gave tacit support to an anti-Semite, had virtually no experience to bring to the table, you wouldn't vote for him in a million years.

Does this mean you are one of the  "I can prove how racially sensitive I am by voting for a black man"  crowd?

I HOPE not!
