This happened on Monday, but this is the first time I've been able to post since then. Sorry, folks.
I am sure we have all heard of Jeremiah Wright. If you haven't, though, I'll sum it up, since I never put it on mt blog. Jeremiah Wright has been Obama's pastor and friend for over twenty years. My sources (New York Times, the Internet,) tell me that he even married Obama to his wife, who I assume is Mrs. Obama. In case you didn't realize, these two are pretty close.
Earlier this year, maybe in February, news came out that Wright had been giving sermons that said that G-d should damn America (G-d forbid!), that American doctors created AIDS to kill blacks, and many other horrible, baseless accusations on America. He also states that the racial distinction has not yet been abolished. This is 100% true. While America has done its best to be rid the country of this separation, unofficially it still remains.
This whole story came out in February, and only a couple day ago did Obama sever ties with Wright. Why now? Because it is endangering Obama's ticket to the White House. Allow me to explain:
When Obama first heard Wright's controversial sermons, he should have pulled out of that specific church then and there and should have gone and found another one. Or, if he didn't, when the whole story came out, he should have said something like this, "Whether I agree with Rev. Wright or not, he is still my pastor and close friend. I feel connected to him both as a friend and as a member of his church." It would have gotten him zero votes, but he would have gained respect of others. By severing ties with Wright now, he has done the same thing he has done with his "typical white grandparents" (these are the grandparents that put him through the expensive prep schools; got him to where he is now. He threw them under the bus just like he has now done to Wright).
Now, I must ask you: Do we really want "change" if this is what Obama believes? And even if he doesn't believe this, is this the type of person we want for president, one that lies and is a traitor to those who help him? A president that bites the hand that so graciously fed him? Think about it...

as u may or may not know amy jeriamiah wright later was on an interview on the news. he doesnt even relize he is insulting his people by what he is saying .
Really? Did all of the publicity ope his eyes, or is he still blinded by his beliefs?
Wait,wait,wait.What's wrong with Ungar reading this?Oops,wait.Mrs.Ungar.I learned my lesson.My opinion is that having Obama in Wright's congregation has clouded his eyes with power.I really do think that Obama really didn't expect this.Also,I really think that exploiting Obama's reverend is just a device to tear Obama down.If Obama says he doesn't believe anymore,then let the poor man be!I feel really bad for him and I dont even *like* Obama.Understand Obama's point of view.He is a churchgoer who is running for president.He had a reverend who he really liked,up until recently when the reverend started saying some really not so wonderful things.He just didn't know.
But how could he be a member of Wright's church fpr 20 YEARS and not know what Wright believes?!?
He is definitely a hypocrite. By remaining in the church so long and not saying anything, he is, in effect, condoning Rev. Wright's beliefs. I definitely won't vote for him, and Hillary CLinton is an anti-semite, so I'm going with McCain.
Definitely McCain
