You do not sit in the pews of a Church for twenty years, where the Minister "damns" America, and White Americans in particular, if you do not hate America & the Americans.

There is no great mystery here! Of course, it needs to be understood that as bad as Rev. Wright might be, Obama is actually to his Left--by his own effective admission. (See Ethnic Politics--2008.)

Yeah, just so amazing this issues was pooh-poohed in 2008. It should hve been huge news and disqualified Obama immediately.

Note that Obama rarely if ever praises America for its greatness, accomplishments, cultural contributions, individual freedoms and the vast economic opportunities it affords everyone. He only speaks to it negatively in terms of perceived shortcomings. You’re right, there’s no great mystery here — nothing he says or does indicates any deep respect or honor for this country.
