We know from history that talking has a very low chance of success.

If he wants to “talk” to prevent Israel getting blown up - seems to me we do not give him the benefit of the doubt. The downside is too catastrophic.

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

Does a book written by Barack Obama count as "documented proof?" If so, refer to Chapter  14 of  "Dreams from My Father," in which Obama describes his first meeting with Wright and his first attendance at TUCC and how inspired he was by Wright's sermon, including the phrase "It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks' greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere...That's the world!"

No mention of HIV or G-D America, but an accurate characterization of Wright's views and preaching through the years.  Barack Obama shares those views, wrapping them in sugar coating and disguising them as a "search for a racial identity" in 450+ pages of socialist/Marxist propaganda masquerading as biography.

History has OBAMA examples for us to learn from:

Neville Chamberlain gutted the military of England for social programs (the way Obama wants to do). Chamberlian said that “if only Hitler could sit down with pen and paper and write out Germany’s complaints, then peace could be realized.”

Chamberlain met with Hitler, who fell to the floor in fits, then signed a useless piece of paper....Chamberlian came home declaring “Peace in our time” to the cheers of the English people.....Churchill, watching the spectacle, said, “Little do they know the horror that is about to befall them.”

History has shown that dictators, thugs, and terrorist LOVE to talk...which is exactly what Obama wants to do with them. History has shown that a very high percentage of the citizenery will believe that talking works...and history has shown that talking to dictators, thugs, and terrorists leads ONLY to disaster.

I have no “doubts” about Mr. Obama.

Thus, there is nothing to be “given”.

Mr. Obama is a phony. He adopted his elitist and black supremist persona as Lou Farrakhan and Bill Ayers were his constituents in his state Senate district in Illinois.

I have no idea what he “actually believes”, but he is extremely dangerous as he is extraordinarily thin-skinned for an individual seeking the presidency, where criticism over anything and everything is part of the job.

This is the same phenomenon that gave America Oprah Winfrey. But this is A LOT scarier. All it gave Oprah was tons of money and influence. Obamalamadingdong will have REAL POWER to damage the country in ways about which Winfrey could only dream!

I do believe his wife did attend all the time, because every time Michelle Obama opens her mouth, Jeremiah Wright comes out.

No doubt!

“SOMETHING WORTH CONSIDERING is the fact that Barack Obama paid for this Jeremiah Wright microphone — contributing tens of thousands of dollars to bankroll Wright and his activities. When you pay for something year after year knowing what you’re paying for, guess what, you own it, like anything else you’ve paid for, it’s yours.”

I read your entire post twice before I sent you my post. Sorry for insulting you, the fact that you believe Obama is enough of an insult.

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 doesn't give two hoots about Wright. Obama joined Wright's church because that was *the quickest avenue to power*. That's the thing about Obama, nobody knows what he really thinks. He's a black box, a cipher. More than any candidate in American history IMO. As Al Sharpton said off the record "that boy is one smooth mother<explicative>".

To date, we are still not sure whether he is mendacious or confused, open or deceitful, an idealist or a shamelessly glib opportunist.

OBL ignores 50% of his heritage because the only he could be nominated was being black. A deceitful opportunist.
