Clarification: The Obama campaign has told members of the press that Senator Obama was not in church on the day cited, July 22, because he had a speech he gave in Miami at 1:30 PM. Our writer, Jim Davis, says he attended several services at Senator Obama's church during the month of July, including July 22. The church holds services three times every Sunday at 7:30 and 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Central time. While both the early morning and evening service allowed Sen. Obama to attend the service and still give a speech in Miami, Mr. Davis stands by his story that during one of the services he attended during the month of July, Senator Obama was present and sat through the sermon given by Rev. Wright as described in the story. Mr. Davis said Secret Service were also present in the church during Senator Obama's attendance. Mr. Davis' story was first published on Newsmax on August 9, 2007. Shortly before publication, Mr. Davis contacted the press office of Sen. Obama several times for comment about the Senator's attendance and Rev. Wright's comments during his sermon. The Senator's office declined to comment.

Tick, tick, tick, tick.......
Obama is about the be busted for his “I did not have sex with that woman!” moment before he even gets a chance to be elected. Bye-bye Obama.
One word: Taqqiyah. Look it up.
I’m O.D.ing on popcorn already!!!
This could turn out to be even bigger than just the issue of attending the service.
Imagine if “Mr. Clean” is lying about attending...and gets caught! Wow...
“But according to the Washington Post’s presidential tracker, Obama did, in fact, make an “appearance” in Chicago on the morning in question: July 22, 2002. He also, later in the day, flew to Miami for a speech.
Obama’s spokesperson Tommy Vietor confirmed that the schedule was accurate but stressed that the senator did not make a stop at Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ.”

Nothing settled yet.
This shows either an incredible arrogance on his part, or a remarkable naivete and detachment from America. Or maybe a little of both.
In any event, I agree: I don't believe there is any way the superdelegates are going to put him in now.
I think Hillary just had the big “O”
Obama is a liar. His attachment to this racist, anti-semitic, anti-American “church” proves that he is unfit to hold any public office. There should be demands that he withdraw from the Presidential race.
It doesn’t matter if he they can’t prove that Obama was there for that particular sermon. If they can show that Wright made similar speeches on a regular basis, that’s enough to prove Obama a liar.
Newsmax has got to do better than that. The only way I can see this getting resolved is to.
1. Listen to the sermons to figure out which day.
2. Find Obama’s whereabouts.
3. Match it up with the news account.
Obama campaign lies to cover up whether he attended one sermon.... As if the pattern of his mentor is not proof enough that Obama has adopted an anti-white, anti-American philosphy.... Hey Obama when you talk about the WE can be the Change that WE believe WE are all Americans both black and white.... An American President cannot hold one constituency views above another and your racist preacher and his ilk tell us exaclty what kind of President you would be...
I feel I can safely say Obama will have us all paying reparations.
Secret Service records should have FOIA requirements... in other words the SS had to be there with him and since Taxpayers are paying their salary if they attended that service then it is Public information and needs to be retrieved.
The Democrat machine must be thanking some deity somewhere for those superdelegates. They can put an end to this charade and return the crown to Hillary where it has always belonged, right? Then all will be right with the world.

I hope Newsmax is right but this eagerness to discredit Obama (perfectly understandable) should be backed by accurate and careful reporting. This clarification, unfortunately, makes NewsMax’s earlier article look suspect.
Of course, peddling discredited stories is nothing new for NewsMax. After all, they were exposed for the Hillary Clinton’s “Military Medal” story right here on FR.
And they can’t even blame Rove for this.
Doesn’t matter whether he was at a particular meeting or not. If it was a white candidate that belonged to a racist organisation, it would not matter that he/she didn’t attend all the meetings.
