1. Search for the videos. We know the dates and titles now.
2. Look for dates when Barack Obama was known to be in attendance. For example, the archive.org calendar on Trinity's website has several listings for events where Barack Obama signed books after the sermons. That means he was there on the date corresponding to the sermon. Then look for him in the video of the audience.
Nice contribution. Good work.

Well, I guess he’s an expert on THAT subject...
Surely Barry was present for this one.
BTTT
Is that the Michelle Obama "Whitey" speech?
Here's what's known so far:
The Michelle Obama Rant Tape was filmed between June 26th - July 1st 2004 in Chicago, IL at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition Conference at Trinity United Church: specifically the Women's Event.
Michelle Obama appeared as a panelist alongside Mrs. Khadijah Farrakhan and Mrs. James Meeks.
Bill Clinton spoke during the Conference, as did Bill Cosby and other speakers, but not at the panel Michelle attended.
Michelle Obama spoke at the Women's Event, but referenced Bill Clinton in her rant -— his presence at the conference was the impetus for her raving, it seems.
For about 30 minutes, Michelle Obama launched into a rant about the evils of America, and how America is to blame for the problems of Africa. Michelle personally blamed President Clinton for the deaths of millions of Africans and said America is responsible for the genocide of the Tutsis and other ethnic groups. She then launched into an attack on “whitey”, and talked about solutions to black on black crime in the realm of diverting those actions onto white America. Her rant was fueled by the crowd: they reacted strongly to what she said, so she got more passionate and enraged, and that's when she completely loses it and says things that have made the mouths drop of everyone who's seen this.
The “tape” is a DVD that Trinity United sold on its website, and possibly offered free for download up until March 2008 when Trinity's site was scrubbed and the DVDs were no longer offered for sale.
This outburst happened just one month before the 2004 Democratic Convention, when Barack Obama delivered the keynote address.
UPDATED: It seems really easy for Chicago local media, especially, to determine whether or not this is the right tape of Michelle Obama. All they need to do is pull the tape from this 2004 Conference (particularly the panel Michelle was on), which should be readily available (since this was a very large multi-day event). All a journalist needs to do is watch this tape: if this is not the right one, they'd know immediately and this issue would be debunked. But, logically, this seems to be the most likely source of the tape people have been talking about at NoQuarterUSA.net”

Supposedly, it was the Giuliani campaign that found this dvd.
Here's another dvd for which we've got a narrow number of dates, at least.
When trying to use the Way Back Machine - http://web.archive.org/ - on all these sites, be aware that the owner of the website can contact them and have pages that were in the archive removed.
That is why no one will be able to find the Mrs Obama speech at the Rainbow/Push conference in July of 2004 on the net. Gives a whole new meaning to the term “white washed”, eh? Maybe this whole dust up needs to be labeled, “Whiteywashedgate”!

I’m sure that one has some tasty snippets on it..........
Pastor Wright... TOO HOT FOR TV!
Found this one by Obama’s new pastor, Rev. Otis Moss — before Barry “resigned” from the church, that is...
It’s not listed in your list here; it is evidently newer.

If you make it through the exaggerated oh-so-reverent slow drone of the first four minutes of scripture reading, it then descends into some sort of reading of an imagined letter from an African-American version of Moses, to Joshua. The gist of which is oppression by and then liberation from euro-whiteys. I didn’t see Obama in the audience, however.
Bookmark for later reference.
Does archive.org have the tapes or just the names?

Jeremiah Wright will be preaching this Sunday, June 8, at 6:30 a.m. You can watch it live from their website. This one might be a good one considering all that has happened.
This could be really damaging for BO.
He can’t claim to have missed all of these sermons, can he?
About a dozen of Wright’s sermons survived on a streaming server that’s separate from the Trinity church website.

Gotta give 'em credit for stamina!
I don’t see any listing for the Jun 26, 2004 - July 1, 2004 Rainbow/PUSH Coalition Annual Conference at which Michelle Obama spoke.
You might look for another page of recordings of conferences, panels, or speeches.
