I failed to hear anything about religion or even a superficial reference to anything remotely spiritual in the pastor's ranting. It was entirely political to my ear. I have no problem with political thoughts being expressed in a church, synagogue, ashram or even a mosque as long as it's not fomenting hate and/or inciting sedition. In this case it seems to be about both.

But I guess Obama missed all of these political sermons which is kind of sad for him since the church thought so highly of them that they put them on a DVD called The Best of Pastor Wright. Apparently he is lying when he calls Wright his mentor, adviser, friend, guide through troubled times and the man who brought him to Jesus.

How could you miss his best sermons and not even bother to check out the DVD? His loyalty to his church and pastor is as empty as everything else about him. What other conclusion can I draw?

Agree with all your points here. . .

There IS only one reasoned conclusion to draw here. The 'head-nodders' and bobbers, of course, will rest easily in their assumptions.

It interesting to note that Obama, twice now. . .offered that he never heard him speak like that when he was sitting 'in the pew'. So I am envisioning the Rev's rousing talks by this time; have all the prayerful on their feet. (Or Obama adding a feaux garnishment here; as if he is effortlessly detailing a literal truth - whereby he appears more convincing.)

That the Rev's radicalism did not come late into his Faith but rather was full-blown, by the time Obama showed up , makes Obama's distancing seem false to the point of rediculous. His condemnations now; no more than a self-serving, petty betrayal for politcal gain.
