If Obama according to his words barely knew his Muslim father, didn’t realize his 20 year preacher was racist until a few days ago, to whom did he really listen for his spirituality and what does he really believe?

We ARE judged by the company we keep...and why not? Any one of us parents has most likely had to guide our kids away from the loser/troubled/trouble-making kids in their youth. (It only took ONE incident of my son getting into trouble due to other problem kids to wise him up.)
I don’t see this as any different. We ARE who we associate with. Hang with America-Haters and Commies? Gee. Isn’t it OBVIOUS where your sympathies lie? (Hillary!, too.)
FYI
Of course, two narcissists... one sociopathic, one psychopathic.
For Obama to say that Wright's rant of a couple of days ago is worse than the vile, hateful, racist, venom he spewed prior to that for over 20 years is absolutely (and once again INSULTING) ridiculous!!
Obama admits he was a 'close friend'.
Obama admits Wright was his 'mentor'.
Obama admits Wright was his 'Spiritual Advisor'.
Wright was his pastor.
Wright married the Obamas.
Wright baptized their children.
And only NOW does Obama realize 'what Wright is all about'?????
If that's the case--we should give Obama a 'pass' for stupidity and naivete', but disqualify him from our nation's highest office FOR THOSE VERY SAME REASONS!!
Please re-post here the excellent and spot-on analysis you posted on another thread earlier today. It bears repeating.

Either has Obama. But he has learned well how to lie about it.
If if wasn't for Sean Hannity--Obama would have never, NEVER condemned any of Wright's comments!!! The American people owe Sean Hannity a 'debt of gratitude' for that one.
After all, he sat there for 20 years and NEVER SAID A WORD. Why doesn't he state publicaly whether or not he told his 'close friend' that he was outraged by his close friend's comments?
This is golden:
“And then I’ve got to give a special shout out to my Pastor. The guy who puts up with me, counsels me, listens to my wife complain about me. He’s a friend and a great leader not just in Chicago but all across the country, so please everybody give an extraordinary welcome to my pastor Dr. Jeremiah Wright, Jr., Trinity United Church of Christ. “
“great leader”...
"I can no more disown him (Wright) than I can disown the black community." - Barack HUSSEIN Obama
So if Obama's speech yesterday essentially declared that he disowned Wright, then one must conclude that he has also just disowned the black community.

Great post!!! Does that also means he has disowned his grandmother?
I think they’re playing good cop/bad cop.
Hmmmm, just wondering here. Wright "baptized" Obama's children but.........has Obama ever been "baptized"? He says Wright led him to be a Christian. If that is so, he would have been "baptized" in the practice and teaching and requirements of the church.
I wonder if Obama had to exhibit belief in “BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY” (something that Wright claims is so important) before any baptisms could take place.
“Please re-post here the excellent and spot-on analysis you posted on another thread earlier today. It bears repeating.”
Here it is:
Something smells rotten in the Hood. Here’s my take on it. I think Obama and Wright are as thick as thieves, I think they are in total cahoots. I think everything that has happened in the past week has been planned and masterminded between Obama and Wright and perhaps one or two other key players on Obama’s campaign staff. I think everything has been coordinated.
Preacher Wright comes out and does his round of inflammatory speeches at the NAACP, and the Nat’l Press Club, and in his Bill Moyers interview. Funny that these three are all clustered within days of each other, all at once. As Obama blew his first chance at refuting Wright for his behavior for the last 20 years, both of them thinking the whole issue would die down, Obama needed a second bite of the apple. A second chance to condemn the Reverend Wright. Hence the setup. Wright does his radical religious/political rap thing three times, and Obama then says he’s finally had enough and condemns and refutes and sort of disowns (however if you listen to Obama’s words, he really doesn’t) Preacher Wright.
Now it looks as if the two of them are at great odds and no longer like each other, right? Wrong, in the sense that this was the desired end result, to make it look like they are now at odds. Mission accomplished. Obama is now off the hook. Obama even makes sure he has an out in the very careful, slow speaking manner with which he refuted his mentor. He says Wright may do more of the same kind of speech, but he, Obama, won’t be responsible for it as he can’t do anything to stop Wright, and has now disowned Wright anyhow. Isn’t this Machiavellian? Isn’t this fun?
Now for the proof of my thinking. Preacher Wright and Obama have known each other for 20 years, both in and out of the church pew. Obama went on Louis Farrakhan’s million man march. Obama named his book after a phrase used by Rev. Wright, “The Audacity of Hope”. They are very close. Obama knows exactly where Wright is coming from, both theologically and politically. And (here’s the kicker) vice versa. Wright knows everything about Obama too. He knows how Obama really thinks politically, after all Preacher Wright groomed him for the last 20 years, or perhaps indoctrinated would be a better word. Wright knows what Obama has said to him over the years, has done for and with him over the last 20 years, and has the goods on Obama big time. Wright could blast Obama into space and out of the presidential race on a politically dirty rocket in a nanosecond. Wright probably knows more about Obama’s inner workings, shady deals back in Chicago, connections to Obama’s political benefactor Tony Rezko now up on influence peddling and other charges back in Chicago, and may have been in on some of those deals himself. Wright could take Obama down faster than greased lightening if he wanted to. But he won’t. Because they are working in tandem. They are still joined at the hip, and what we are seeing this past week is all a charade, a Potemkin village, smokey (until that became un-PC) backroom dealings to get Obama out of hot water in the political short and long run for his relationship with Wright.
Mark my words here; my political antennae are waving in the breeze. And to top it off (I believe this is coming out of Obama’s camp too), the blogs are buzzing around that somehow Preacher Wright and Hillary Clinton are working behind the scenes to undermine Obama, and that Hillary’s camp was somehow involved in setting up financially some of what Wright was up to this past week. I think a whisper campaign of “it’s all Hillary’s fault that this is happening” has been let loose on the internet to shift the blame for Wright’s actions of late on her. How convenient. Obama isn’t behind this, why it’s Hillary. And the MSM are swallowing it whole. The MSM in general hate Hillary and will blame anything and everything on her. They will believe anything about her. Never mind, as I stated before, that Wright/Obama have a 20 year relationship, and that Wright could bring Obama down so fast his head would spin with what Wright knows about Obama and how he really thinks. Its Hillary and her henchmen to blame.
Obama and Wright must be laughing up their sleeves at how a naive and lazy press that is on Obama’s side anyhow in this race, will swallow this. Tell me, does anyone really think that Wright and Hillary got together to “get Obama”? Do you not think that Wright wants Obama in the White House where Wright can have all sorts of influence on his protege? That Wright wants to be kingpin at the National Prayer Breakfasts? That he wants all that access to grants or funding for his church causes? That he wants to push his own peculiar brand of church politics? His Black Liberation Theology? You better believe he wants Obama in as President. They both just have to get over this little speed bump of whether Obama secretly thinks just like Wright does, and is really a divider disguising himself as a uniter, fooling us all. Preacher Wright knows exactly where Obama is coming from. If he blows the whistle on Obama publicly on what he knows, then I am wrong. If Wright doesn’t, well, then draw your own conclusions. I’ve drawn mine.
“Hmmmm, just wondering here. Wright “baptized” Obama’s children but.........has Obama ever been “baptized”? He says Wright led him to be a Christian. If that is so, he would have been “baptized” in the practice and teaching and requirements of the church.”
No record of any baptism. Chicago reporters looked into it. I asked the question a long time ago and another Freeper then took it up and contacted Chicago reporters. Obama walked down the aisle of Wright’s Church to proclaim his faith, but no official baptism that anyone can find.
Thanks for the ping AV
Have talked to a few dems this morning
who were leaning to Boma and they ain’t buying
