Bombshell Obama Pastor Video

Unless we leave. Then I'm sure they'll get their butt in gear a whole lot faster.

There's nothing like a little "motivation" to get things done.

yes, Al Qaeda will no doubt be motivated and emboldened by the US defeat after we retreat.

Do you not watch the World news? It's the Sunni's taking out Al Qaeda in Iraq, not US troops as you would like to believe.

However, with full disclosure, we have hit a couple of targets in the mountains of Pakistan in the last few weeks, but when Obama said he'd do that, not all that long ago he was said to be naive.. and here we are doing it just weeks later...

So their government won't do anything while we stay there.

So we stay there forever.

Good plan.

On a truly sad note, another good talking point gets flushed down the crapper:

Generation Obama? Perhaps Not.

In this column, I cite a report that Sen. Obama had attended services at Trinity Church on July 22, 2007. The Obama camapaign has provided information showing that Senator Obama did not attend Trinity that day. I regret the error.

Funny how Planet Bush was ready to run with this NEW YORK TIMES story. OTOH, since Kristol is a Fox News staple, sooner or later this story was headed south. Beware of Faux News no matter where it's hiding.

However, on a related note, Hagee really was on the stage with McCain and McCain really did speak at the university run by Bob (No race mixing here) Jones.

I'm sorry LuvDuke, I know we were looking for another talking point, too bad we've lost this one...

Course I was but one of about a thousand emails the NYTimes received today about the video footage of him being elsewhere at the time this supposed sermon took place...

OK, let's try another one....

The author of the original article is sticking to his story that he saw Obama at the service some time in July when those words were said.

And do you all honestly believe that the pastor talks a certain way when Obama is not around and then is all of the sudden is Mr. Peace and Love when he is there?

Maybe he has one speech for when he sees Obama in the pews and another when he doesn't.

The video doesn't lie, he was nowhere near Chicago on that day.

And do I think the reverend could change his tune when either Oprah or Obama are in the pew's? Yes, I think it's entirely possible... Have you yet listened to the Audacity of Hope Sermon? Didn't think so....

but Oprah left the church after being disgusted by what Wright was preachin'

They certainly were motivated when we opened up Iraq's borders for them as a gift to come and go as they please.

Not that long ago & Obama hasn't been a regular weekly go'er for a number of years.

maybe Oprah also has political aspirations...

maybe Obama has been too busy campaigning

Yeah, whatever.

Once more, Kristol has retracted the story.

Presumably, you have proof to back up these allegations. I hope the proof is better than Kristol's.

How do we know this?

I heard this about Oprah on the news this morning. However, I can't find anything to verify it or repute it on net search. Some places are saying she is a member, some are saying she left the church after its award to Farakhan, some say she only attended the church a couple times. Not sure.

Can someone else verify Oprah's connection to the church?

Don't worry Obama is going to make it all go away on Tuesday.....

Obama: Wait until Tuesday for more on Rev. Wright
by Mike Dorning

MONACA, Pa — Barack Obama avoided questions on the teachings of his long-time pastor in a press conference here, promising to address racially tinged comments made by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright in a speech on race in America Obama plans to deliver Tuesday in Philadelphia.

Obama on Friday denounced as “inflammatory and appalling” comments Wright made that were circulated on video clips. Among them, Wright said blacks should sing “God damn American” instead of “God bless America.”

Obama said he was not present when Wright made those comments.
But reporters at the press conference sought to probe Obama on his understanding of Wright’s views about white America and why he chose to raise his children at Trinty United Church of Christ, where Wright was pastor until recently.

Obama has had a long and close relationship with Wright, crediting the pastor with leading him to embrace Christianity and taking the title for his book “The Audacity of Hope” from one of Wright’s sermons. Obama was married by Wright and his children were baptized by Wright.

At a rally shortly before his press conference today, Obama uncharacteristically ended his remarks with the phrase “God bless America.” Obama plans to deliver a speech "on race, politics and unifying our country'' Tuesday morning in Philadephia.

Here is a quick informal transcript of the questioning on Wright at the press conference.

Q: Senator, do you believe Rev. Wright was unfairly characterized in his controversy and what questions do you need to answer for voters tomorrow in this race speech?

Obama: You know, I am going to be talking about, not just Rev. Wright, but just the larger issue of race in this campaign, which ramped up over the last couple of weeks. So I don’t want to give a full preview. You might not come to the speech. But (pause) as I said in my statement, the statements that were the source of controversy from Rev. Wright were wrong and I strongly condemn them. I think the caricature that is being painted of him is not accurate and so part of what I’ll do tomorrow is talk a little bit about how some of these issues are perceived from within the black church community, for example, which I think views this very differently.

Q: Senator, can you describe to us again the importance that you believe Wright had in your life and also…

Obama: Sun-Len, as I said I’m going give a speech on this.

Q. But on that you also said that in June of 2007 you already said that you knew about a couple of the statements that were made.

Obama: Sun-Len, I’ll address this tomorrow.

Q: With all this talk there were some editorials out today, one of them even suggesting that “the bloom is off the rose,” to use their words. How much of an impact do you think this story has had on your campaign at this point?

Obama: I think that’s going to be. You guys are in a better position to assess that than I am.

Q: Senator, sort of going to Jeff’s question: In your own view, you’re someone who has a lot more experience with Rev. Wright than some 20-second soundbite that someone pulled out. Based on you own experience, going to church their, listening to sermons, talking to fellow congregants, what do you think is the way Rev. Wright characterizes white America? And why did you choose this particular church with this particular pastor to help lay the moral foundation for raising your children?

Obama: Mike, I mean, I know you guys are curious about this. This is why I am giving a speech tomorrow that will be a lot more fulsome than a press conference. Does that make sense?

Q. But will you address this point of how you think he characterizes white America?

Obama: I will absolutely address it.

Ooo, sounds ominous. What would a black man know about racism and discrimination and why would he think he's qualified to talk about it?

 

[SwedishMeatball]

So much for Obama not running as a black candidate. He has his pastor to thank for that.
