Comment was, I am sure there are plenty of racists in DC to preach to them.

They'll probably have to where the USSS can secure the church safely and do a "check " on the members to make sure none of you aspiring John Wilkes Booths try to make history.

My money is on Washington National Cathedral but by the looks of things Barack himself won't have much time for church.

And they can trust Obama to be loyal in his attendance.

No way he would associate with someone of questionable ideological stance and then disown them for political convenience.

What is Obama going to work with now that the investing public has pulled back all their money? Is he going to raise taxes on closin businesses? Hahaha, oh ok.

Enjoy your socialist tax base, slummy boy.

Not that this has anything to do with what church Obama will attend, but I was listening to the radio and it appears Obama has revealed his brilliant plan to save the economy. He is going to create 2.6 million jobs by 2011 by rebuilding America's schools and infrastructure. I feel better already, realizing that only a genius could have ever devised such a brilliant plan.



I suppose that the next thing on the agenda will be to fix the horrible, greedy, profit-driven, disorganized, unfair, racist, sexist, homophobic, Draconian, Darwinian U.S. health care system. I'll bet that he comes up with another stunningly brilliant solution like making people have to pay in accordance only with thier ability to do so.

Yep its a damn good thing that this genius got elected.

Wow...nice non-sequiter there, chief. I have seen one like that in quite some time.

Seriously, you couldn't go for the "Obama is a secret MOOOOOSlim terrist, what ran 'round with a racist minister!"? I mean, it would have been just as off base, but much more pertinant to the thread.

The unions rejoice. You can't build a public school in this country without using union labor. Doesn't matter where it is, right to work state is just the same. This is a quiet takeover using the one branch of the Fed that can move around with impunity within local areas, the school system.

This is a crafty motherfarker. He's not stupid, he's evil crafty. Much more dangerous. See how he didn't go right for gay rights in the military? He's going to do that after he's got the rest of us by the balls. He's not going to ban guns either. No that's too obvious. Instead he's banning ammunition. Phear this mutherfarker for the craftiness he comes with.

It has all the components for what we can expect these next four years. Good stuff. Even has a guy who surrenders because of a French chick. I tell ya, it's got everything.

I think the fact that he he threw his racist pastor under the bus when it became politically expedient for him was quite bad. He really does not have character or convictions. He used the church when he needed it and threw it away when it hurt him. Obamatons gave him a pass.

So you'd rather him defend this guy? Heheh, you're funny...you STILL think the Bush approach of NEVER admitting you may have had poor judgment is a BAD thing? No wonder the Republicans are so anti-science, it requires you to admit you don't have absolute knowledge, and may require you to change your stance on something when new information is presented...

That's why he's fitting right in with The New Americatm Character is one of those old timer stupid deals, like the Trolleycar. Next you'll be suggesting Thanksgiving is something other than a direct affront to Vegans and other children of the earth. Christmas? Some fundy bullshiat. When can we celebrate Obama week? That's what I want to know. An entire week of feasts. Fire dancers, earth orgies, a bacchanal of pleasure.

Hey stupid, you do realize that many of the people who voted for Bush in 2004 now voted for Obama. It's not like some Hippies got transported from Berkeley c. 1968 and somehow infiltrated North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Electoral map shifts hurt. I suggest some A+D ointment.

Allow me to speak for all righties when I say, I couldn't give two craps about which church he attends.

It says alot about him that he chose to remain in a Hate Whitey church for 20 years, but be that as it may, he has every right to worship whichever God he chooses.

Freedom and Liberty, it's a right-wing thing.

I have to dispute this. I've read your posts and you don't think. You simply puke the stuff Rush and Hannity tell you is true.

Obama is a politician, and far from perfect. But he has displayed plenty of character, certainly more than McCain displayed in the last year. Much more than bush and his gang. In fact, I can't think of any right wingers who have him beat in that regard.

I love seeing all the nut jobs who wasted electrons talking about how McCain/Palin were sure to win. These are the same guys who are sure America will fall apart now that the current "most liberal man in the government" has been elected. I'm not saying it won't, but Obama was by far our best chance to recover.

Here's the thing.. You lambaste "Obamatons" for always liking Obama and overlooking characters flaws. But in this given situation, no matter if Obama had done in regards to Reverend Wright (kept him as an ally or distanced himself) you would attack him. You are the other side of the coin. You are exactly the same as the people you hate.

I'm just trying to explain why your arguments have no credibility whatsoever.

You haven't been paying attention. The right wing only cares about gun freedom, because they have been told it keeps them safe.

The freedom to own guns is the useless when it comes to protecting the rest of our freedoms.

Really?

What did I say that was not credible? He stayed with this church fo 20 years, got married by this guy. His early political career was helpled by this church. As soon as it becomes a bad thing he throws him and the whole church under the bus and denies everything.

Where am I wrong?

Thanks for playing.

'black america, get your shiat together' is not 'hate whitey'. except to folks who subconsciously feel better when black america has a hand out instead of holding itself up.

but you're right, he has the right to worship whichever god he chooses. or even -- as Mayhem2006 shrewdly suggests -- to declare himself an atheist. as for freedom and liberty being a right-wing thing, too many folk who don't believe that at all have infested the Republican party. freedom and liberty are without political affiliation. Colin Powell's smackdown of the 'only Protestant Christians need apply' segment of the American during his endorsement in October was a needful truth truth. We need a housecleaning. We're not going to get it by demonizing Democrats and refusing to see where Republicans need to get our own act together.
