Obama lost the election today.

Politico ^ | 5/31/08 | Ben Smith

[Krankor]

Obama said he and his wife, Michelle, had notified the church in a letter Friday that they “were withdrawing as members of Trinity,” in part because of “a cultural and a stylistic gap.”

“Better late than never.”

20 years is never. Barrack is toast.

[rodguy911]

Thanks, I will catch up on that one tomorrow.

[buccaneer81]

Like Atillio to Alito.

Really? I learn something new everyday.

[rodguy911]

Your post is my biggest fear.
That's why what we do here and elsewhere in the New Media could very well change the equation this time around.

[rodguy911]

You gotta learn rat/speak.

[JRandomFreeper]

It's where the belly-roll midriff shows on a tubby girl wearing lowrider jeans.

Dammit. I'm going to have to close my eyes to go to sleep tonight. Don't leave me with that image.

I'll make coffee. Strong coffee.

But I would much rather he quit the church in Sept or Oct than now. The DBM has way of forgetting all these little events that happen now.

I still think an October Surprise is lurking out there. And it may be Billary who deliver it...

[Revolting cat!]

(Obama lost the election today.)

Don't underestimate white guilt! It awards literary prizes to semi-literates, applauds lousy comediands and musicians, will elect O'Bambino.

[rodguy911]

This is a wild year and anything is possible as Hillary has already pointed out.(I'm not holding my breath for her to be his hit man VP)

[Beowulf9]

Satan to Top Minion:

“We won’t make a decision on him until after January”.

[The_Macallan]

To paraphrase the recent message of his Church that Obama is only NOW trying to disavow (after 20 years):

"I want to know if you're honest enough to address the one who says, 'Don't hold me responsible for what my Church did.'

But you have enjoyed the benefits of what your Church did.

And unless you are ready to give up the benefits, throw away your marriage certificate, throw away your children's baptismal certificates, throw away all the money that's been put into your campaign by your Church's congregation, throw away all the proceeds from your book that you titled from a sermon given in THAT CHURCH and give up the VOTES of those in that Church that supported you for 20 years...

...UNLESS YOU'RE WILLING TO GIVE UP THE BENEFITS, THEN YOU MUST BE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT WAS DONE IN YOUR CHURCH BECAUSE YOU ARE THE BENEFICIARY OF THIS BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY!"

[Blood of Tyrants]

This won’t fool anyone. Not the Hillary supporters and not the conservatives and I hope, not the great unwashed “moderates” who only pay attention to politics for about a month every 4 years.

[Fido969]

“a cultural and a stylistic gap.”

So... Obama choose churches for "cultural and stylistic" reasons.

[cookcounty]

I'm not one going around saying that Barak is a muslim, but according to muslim law, once a muslim, always a muslim, and the only religious Identification as a youngster was muslim.

Add to that, Obama kept saying that his daughters were baptized at TRinity, but was HE ever baptized? If you're not willing to accept public identification with Christ through baptism, to what extent is it possible to call yourself "Christian?" I'm not saying it's impossible, but it shows a lack of commitment, to say the least.

[Maine Mariner]

“We probably won’t make any firm decision on this until January, when we know what our lives are going to be like.”

What!? Does Barack Obama have some doubts where he and Michelle will be? I would have thought they would be picking out churches near the White House by now. They would probably feel comfortable with the Foundry Methodist Church-Oh wait that may have been the Clinton’s Church.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Obama said he has “tremendous regard” for the church community, but said he could not live with a situation where everything said in the church, including comments by a guest pastor, “will be imputed to me, even if they conflict with my long-held, views, statements and principles.”

And there's the rub...how can somebody belong to and financially support such a church for over twenty years if it indeed conflicts with his "long-held views, statements, and principles."

[cookcounty]

"“were withdrawing as members of Trinity,” in part because of “a cultural and a stylistic gap.”

Still hedging. .....It's not the content of what Reverend Wright said, it's the style he used. .....Give me a break!!

FALSTAFF
Stand here by me, Master Robert Shallow; I will
make the king do you grace: I will leer upon him as
a’ comes by; and do but mark the countenance that he
will give me.

PISTOL
God bless thy lungs, good knight.

FALSTAFF
Come here, Pistol; stand behind me. O, if I had had
time to have made new liveries, I would have
bestowed the thousand pound I borrowed of you. But
‘tis no matter; this poor show doth better: this
doth infer the zeal I had to see him.

SHALLOW
It doth so.

FALSTAFF
It shows my earnestness of affection,—

SHALLOW
It doth so.

FALSTAFF
My devotion,—

SHALLOW
It doth, it doth, it doth.

FALSTAFF
As it were, to ride day and night; and not to
deliberate, not to remember, not to have patience
to shift me,—

SHALLOW
It is best, certain.

FALSTAFF
But to stand stained with travel, and sweating with
desire to see him; thinking of nothing else,
putting all affairs else in oblivion, as if there
were nothing else to be done but to see him.

PISTOL
‘Tis ‘semper idem,’ for ‘obsque hoc nihil est:’
‘tis all in every part.

SHALLOW
‘Tis so, indeed.

PISTOL
My knight, I will inflame thy noble liver,
And make thee rage.
Thy Doll, and Helen of thy noble thoughts,
Is in base durance and contagious prison;
Haled thither
By most mechanical and dirty hand:
Rouse up revenge from ebon den with fell
Alecto’s snake,
For Doll is in. Pistol speaks nought but truth.

FALSTAFF
I will deliver her.

Shouts within, and the trumpets sound

PISTOL
There roar’d the sea, and trumpet-clangor sounds.

Enter KING HENRY V and his train, the Lord Chief- Justice among them

FALSTAFF
God save thy grace, King Hal! my royal Hal!

PISTOL
The heavens thee guard and keep, most royal imp of fame!

FALSTAFF
God save thee, my sweet boy!

KING HENRY IV
My lord chief-justice, speak to that vain man.
Lord Chief-Justice Have you your wits? know you what ‘tis to speak?

FALSTAFF
My king! my Jove! I speak to thee, my heart!

KING HENRY IV
I know thee not, old man: fall to thy prayers;
How ill white hairs become a fool and jester!
I have long dream’d of such a kind of man,
So surfeit-swell’d, so old and so profane;
But, being awaked, I do despise my dream.
Make less thy body hence, and more thy grace;
Leave gormandizing; know the grave doth gape
For thee thrice wider than for other men.
Reply not to me with a fool-born jest:
Presume not that I am the thing I was;
For God doth know, so shall the world perceive,
That I have turn’d away my former self;
So will I those that kept me company.
When thou dost hear I am as I have been,
Approach me, and thou shalt be as thou wast,
The tutor and the feeder of my riots:
Till then, I banish thee, on pain of death,
As I have done the rest of my misleaders,
Not to come near our person by ten mile.
For competence of life I will allow you,
That lack of means enforce you not to evil:
And, as we hear you do reform yourselves,
We will, according to your strengths and qualities,
Give you advancement. Be it your charge, my lord,
To see perform’d the tenor of our word. Set on.

[Ingtar]

The only way Barack Hussein could win in November is if we were to be foolish enough to put our own Carter clone up against him. The chances of that happe... wait... we’re toast.

[God luvs America]
