The Teflon candidate, Barack Hussein Obama, has resigned from his church following the latest scandal involving another preacher delivering racially charged comments. In this case, it was a guest speaker, a Roman Catholic priest, no less. Controversies surrounding the church have created persistent distractions to his campaign, so say his staffers.
The problem is, this means nothing. It never has. The Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Reverend Otis Moss and now Rev. Michael Pfleger, whose videotaped guest sermon at the church Sunday showed him taunting Hillary Clinton and saying she felt “entitled” to the presidency because she’s white would have decimated the campaign of any white candidate had they uttered such inflammatory words.
But because Obama is who he is, and because his supporters are bound and determined to propel him into the White House at any expense, this latest issue involving his church will go nowhere.
Yes, he quit the church as a symbolic gesture to distance himself from this Black Liberation Theology. But if people don't understand by now that spending twenty-plus years in an environment of black racial hatred rubs off on an individual, that being married and having your children baptized there will affect the very nature of your being, then they never will. Nor do they care to understand it.
Guilt by association will not damage the Obama campaign, even though it should cripple it. Barring a scandal involving Obama himself or his wife, in which either of them are seen saying some of the things his preacher friends have been recorded saying, Obama will sail his way though this thing.
It is rumored that the GOP has such a recording of Michelle Obama railing against White America at the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
Damn I hope it's true.

Where I see this really hurting the Obamao is not among the General Electorate per se, but when the TUCC is combined with the Obamao’s support for Gay Marriage and the repeal of “Don’t ask, Don’t Tell” and his support of Infanticide, Evangelical voters will be mobilized even for an inferior candidate for their issues in Mad Jon McCain.
Wright and the Menagerie will underline a huge bright line between everyday Christians and the Obamao, that will lead to a large negative turnout against the Obamao.
I fear that this tape will be like all of the smoking gun evidence that people had on the Clintons all these year. More smoke than gun.
Aitch for HATE
I always find it interesting that everyone describes Obama as “black.” He is as much “white” as he is “black.”
Only the MSM and other fawning, mindless Barry Hussein supporters believe his preacher problems are meaningless or behind him. The public is far more willing to forgive fooling around with hookers or smoking dope than having a spiritual advisor who yells Goddamn America. Chris Matthews will still vote for Barry Hussein, but 60% plus of other whites will not.
That is true. He had no middle name. Just an initial.
Obama’s Preacher Problems Mean Nothing....
just wait until b. HUSSEIN’S imam problems emerge!!!!
I like it!
Thanks for pointing that out. I shouldn't have missed it.
And there is no period after the “S.” It was written as: Harry S Truman.
A day late and a dollar short just won’t do the job. He is what he is.
He left the church after being publically embarrassed- he had to be shamed into it; he hangs around with terrorists, and is married to a bigger racist than ANY of the “reverends”.
I’m afraid you are correct. The mainstream media is so smitten with Obama that they will give him a pass on the latest from Trinity as they have done in the past with Wright’s statements. When he made his speech on race basically defending Wright and criticizing his poor Grandma (before he threw Wright under the bus along with Grandma later), the press was all over themselves with what a great speech on race he had made.
Now he’s thrown the church under the bus and they will again make excuses for him.
I suggest if there is a ‘Whitey’ tape whoever has it better hold it until a day before the election...so the press doesn’t have time to spin it to Obama’s advantage.
My husband finds it offensive that he only calls himself black when in truth he is biracial. My children call themselves biracial or brown.
