Mrs. Obama:

"Earlier in my college career, there was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the Black community I was somehow obligated to this community and would use all of my present and future resources to benefit this community first and foremost. My experiences at Princeton have made me more aware of my “Blackness” than ever before."

I tend to believe his remarks about not hearing Jeremiah Wright's comments, because I don't think he actually spent many Sundays at services. After all, he's lived in Washington the last two years, and before that he was in the Illinois legislature in Springfield.

Does anybody have any documented proof that Barack Obama actually went to church? A canceled check is not evidence of this.

Either way, Senator Obama is utterly unfit to be President of the United States.
But he would make a dandy White House press secretary.

Here’s an analogy to giving B. Hussein Obama the “benefit of the doubt”

Our airplane needs a new [part. A salesman offers us a new replacement part at a low price. It’s made insomewhere in Asia. He says the quality is as good as the name brand part.

Gonna give him the benefit of the doubt? Will you be confident when you take off? Will you be sorry if the part and the airplane and you life fail?

My spelling looks like it was made somewhere in Lower Bang The Dish.

Saying Obama is like a con man and used car salesmen is unfair to con men and used car salesmen and gives them a bad image.

Do you really believe what you're saying? Although, he might not have "heard" those particular comments he admitted he knew about them in his "Racial Speech" and in the past he had to know what the man stood for. This was after he made statements he did not know about such comments, so this makes him a LIAR!

This is a typical black theologian, hate America chuch. This pastor is a hate monger and Obama knows it and agrees with him. After his wife's comments, I believe both want to definately change this country radically into something which is far from the idea of America.

Obama has parsed his reply to this issue just as you have.

Obama said he was his friend and mentor for 20 years.

Obama never said he never heard him say these things in PRIVATE or PRIVATE group settings. Only he never heard him say them in church.

Go home to DU.

The first time I heard Obama was on Opra...pushing his book. I said then...”orator”. But when he walked off, my thought was....”Didn’t say a damn thing, did he.”

Yes, I believe that he did not attend church very often. Of course, I have not heard much about that, because admitting he doesn't attend services does little to boost his image as a religious man. I do believe his wife did attend all the time, because every time Michelle Obama opens her mouth, Jeremiah Wright comes out.

What a silly remark. Please go back and comprehend my entire post before you insult people on this board.

Doesn’t matter if BHO attended or not, if he didn’t know about BLT, etal, he is retarded and obviously doesn’t know his wife or Minister, so is he autistic also. If he attended the church then he must be blind and deaf and retarded or autistic.
BHO has demonstrated to anyone rational that he is not even a good liar.

What doubt?

His writing in his earlier book and some other statements show he is duplicitous.

He is more dangerous than Mrs. Clinton, if that is possible.

Yes, Michelle. If somehow they had let me into Princeton with my B+ average and my 18-year old work habits, I would have felt pretty small in short order as well.

Black had nothing to do with it.

"church"

I agree. There's no way a person with Obama's intelligence and a wife like Michelle could have failed to grasp the import of Wright. If Obama wasn't paying attention at the services (and I'd have to say he still heard a lot), he certainly would have heard about them from Michelle and discussed them with her. In short, there's absolutely no way he didn't know what was going on.

Bernie, it really doesn't matter what you fill in the blank with here ... these first seven words are a clear indication that you haven't been paying attention.
