What was Obama doing when he was supposedly listening to Wright's sermon on "white arrogance"?
Edited on Mon Mar-17-08 02:40 PM by jefferson_dem
He was delivering an inspirational message of of Hope and Unity in Miami. That's what.

PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT -- When I talk about hope and when I talk about change and talk about about holding America up to its ideals of opportunity and equality, this is not just about rhetoric of the campaign for me. It's been the cause of my life, and it's the the cause that I will work for each and every day as President of the United States, on behalf of all people, not just some people but all people. I've walked the walk not just talk the talk. I'll be a president who remembers that our separate struggles are really one. I won't walk away from the tough battles or difficult work of bringing people together.

Shame on all the "Democratic" enablers who team up with right-wing cretins to "Swift Boat" this good man.

They're DLC, they ARE right wing cretins.

Our party has been infested by them since Bill first became President.

4. Ironically, it's NOT about WORDS --- it's ABOUT ACTIONS
Edited on Mon Mar-17-08 02:44 PM by LSparkle
What did Obama DO after hearing those words? Hillary's campaign loves to say that Obama's campaign
is all about words, but what's important is what people DO after hearing those words. Obama heard
Rev. Wright's words and decided to work to help the least among us, to work toward bringing people
together and finding common ground. Hillary's campaign loves to belittle Obama's words, yet in this
context they're implying that words THEMSELVES are more important than what follows because of them.

10. Gosh
I'm still pulling for General Clark but I guess I could be like many Obama supporters here and give absolutely nothing negative to run against anyone. Why Obama supporters are as perfect and fair and honest as their candidate.

6. Thank You Rev. Wright!
I showed the YouTube clip of Jeremiah Wright to 6 of my friends who were ga-ga for Obama. I made the case to them that a man who has built his candidacy on his supposed superior "judgment" CHOSE a spiritual mentor who spews hate. All 6 of my friends are now helping me campaign for Hillary.

28. "I didn't inhale" - I wasn't listening"
Okay by me. My esteemed expresident WJ Clinton got a ride saying he didn't inhale so I'll give Obama a ride on his not listening. I don't believe either one, however.

Go Hillary!
