Reply #3: I understand where this is coming from.

For me, the McClurkin incident was very bothersome. I'm gay and I just felt completely thrown under the bus by the way Barack handled that.

Secondly, I'm a woman and I don't like the way Barack used the word "prayerful" about my legal right to choose to abort. Had he said, "thoughtful" I would agree.....the choice of "prayerful" as a word (and I know the context in which it was used) really bothered me.

You get the sense that the "Reverand" Barack Obama is running for President. I most certainly don't mean this in a hateful way...just observing how 2 different incidents bothered me.
