[Tippy]

4. I would have been too. n/t

11. me 3.

[Qutzupalotl]

2. It's almost as if Rev. Wright were a human being

and not a caricature of cherry-picked statements.

[Clear Blue Sky]

3. The politician's straddle...

[madrchsod]

5. well it`s gone....i wonder why it was no longer available

[happygoluckytoyou]

6. PROBLEM IS.....------------------>>>>>

AND THIS IS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE.....

you are judged by the company you keep....

birds of a feather....

AND YET....

do you quit your church because you disagree with the pastor

do you fire workers because you disagree with their beliefs

are you responsible for the six degrees of separation between you and kevin bacon

do you check every donation to make certain the donation is not tainted

do you throw each friend under a bus because he is arrested

.....WHEN WE BECOME SUCH A COUNTRY IT WILL BE TERRIBLE...
-----I DO NOT HAVE TO AGREE WITH EVERYONE ON EVERYTHING... AND THAT INCLUDES THE TWO VERY GREAT CANDIDATES WE HAVE RUNNING FOR THE DEMOCRAT NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT....

I WILL NOW AND FOREVER SUPPORT THE PARTY WHICH BEST REPRESENTS THE INTERESTS OF AMERICA AND OUR WORKERS AND CHILDREN.... AND THE PARTY WHICH HAS THE BEST OPPORTUNITY OF CREATING CHANGE FOR THE BETTER WITHIN THE WORLD... FOR ADDRESSING THE ECOLOGICAL ISSUES... THE TERRIBLE FINANCIAL WE ARE IN... OUR LACK OF FACE IN THE WORLD... OUR WEALTHY VS POOR ISSUES...

AT THIS TIME... IN THIS COUNTRY... THAT IS THE DEMOCRATS

[The Wielding Truth]

10. Wow, brilliant , everyman, and inspirational! He's got it!

And he's running for President at a time when we need unity and integrity. Hope he can bring with him the support he will need to carry the reform from corporate rule to democratic constitutional rule.

[RazBerryBeret]

7. "Disown"?

I think that was the wrong word...you can't "own" another person...
and I think Obama addressed that issue clearly

[gimberly]

12. I believe the word is 'Dispwned' n/t

[Overseas]

8. READ THE FULL SPEECH -- clips so far show only pgs 1 and 2

http://www.c-span.org/Content/PDF/obama_031808.pdf

Read the full speech if you really want to see why he will not disown the pastor while thoroughly condemning some of his statements. Similar to the reasons he will not DISOWN his own grandmother.

9. Damn Straight. I hope this speech is played everywhere. n/t
