What, me worry?

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.

Let’s be honest. Hussein is a hypocrite that was just using that so-called church to further his political ambitions.
Besides, we all know that he secretly wears a towel on his head. :>)
So, it means nothing because the press SAYS it means nothing? Don’t believe that for a second. It’s hurt him...it’s hurt him badly.
Here’s an astonishing video of another Pfleger sermon! Just released 15 minutes ago.

“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.”
First of all, I completely disagree with the premise of this article, Obama’s association with Trinity et al will hurt him badly in the general in key battleground States (VA, MI, OH, PA, CO, NM, NH, WS, IO and MO). But, this is third or fourth time I’ve read a quote like above (Rush said the GOP has the tape), I really hope it’s true.
Racially charged? How about insane rhetoric designed to incite race riots?
I think the Trinity Church will be to Obama what a haircut was to Edwards. He will not be able to go anywhere without this following him. He message will be drowned out. I hope he doesn’t implode until after getting the nomination. I want Hillary to beaten in a way that Bill loses his mind publicly.
The press loved to derisively use Bush’s middle initial as a nickname - “Dubya.” I think Obama deserves a nickname based on his middle initial, too, -
H or
Aitch
Aitch for Hussein.
Aitch for humbug.
Aitch for hackneyed.
Aitch for hazy.
Aitch for historically inaccurate.
Aitch for hypocrisy.
Aitch for Hamas.
Aitch for Hezbollah.
It’ll hurt him.
The guy went from senator to presidentail candidate practically overnight and because he ran a stealth campaign of “hope and change” the public knows almost nothing about him; except one thing—he was part of a church full of racebaitinbg looney tunes for 20 years.
The big objection I have is the fact that there appears to be two sets of rules when it comes to race baiting.
Geraldine Ferraro was raked over the coals because she made virtually the same argument about BHO, claiming he wouldn’t be where he is except for the fact that he’s black...what a bunch of hypocrits. All democrats feel entitled or victimized daily.
Cheers
Except for the likelihood that America’s streets would become increasingly violent, and especially as black on white crime is concerned, it would be fun to watch what would happen were Hillary able to wrest the nomination from Obama.
LOL...
Rush did not say that they HAD the tape. He said there are rumors of a tape and that someone may release it later in the election cycle.
It is also possible that she has been observed making such remarks there (there were people who went to do background research on Obama in his political climb and knew quite well firsthand what his church was saying) BUT no recording was made.
If you “think” someone got you on tape, it can be just as big a motivator in covering your tracks as if they actually did.
Remember the days of Harry S. Truman (I wasn’t there but I’ve read about them)...
It was always said that the S. stood for nothing.
Looks like Obama stands for nothing (that he can admit to).
Or how about Barack H. Obama. The H stands for ‘redacted’.
Zackly. Neither the obamaphiles or hillaryphiles value integrity even in the slightest. Its all about power and pushing their pet cause.
How about “H” stands for Hamas!
