Obama's excuses for not leaving his church are:
1) He was never present when his pastor made remarks like those America has now heard (questionable).
2) Pastor Wright has retired, so there is no need to leave now.
But wait a second.... when I watched those videos I saw two things that were EQUALLY objectionable - the comments the pastor was making AND the enthusiastic applause he received from the congregation for making those comments.
The pastor may have retired, but I'm sure that most of the congregants who applauded the pastor's comments are still there.
So putting aside Pastor Wright, it's time for someone to raise this issue with Obama, and to challenge him to distance himself from a congregation that hates America.
