Obamas Speech about Jeremiah Wright

Just to clarify some misstatements you have made since you are so big on the facts:

Jeremiah Wright is Obama's religious mentor, you continually try to infer a closer relationship than what is really there. Wright introduced Obama to Jesus, Wright has nothing to do with Obama's policies and views on the world. In fact, Obama has a much different view than Wright.

Obama was not present at the sermons in question but admitted to hearing some controversial sermons from Wright. If you actually research the man you will find Wright has done a lot of great things over the years and in full context is not a bad man at all.

Obama did not give this excellent and historical speech not to prove himself to anyone. He gave this speech because of the hatemongers out there trying to jump on this and twist it to fit their warped view of America and society.

I am glad though to see you are a vast minority as America has come a long way in its short history. You might have a very long 8-16 years my friend as I don't see the economy recovering in time, making this a very difficult race for McCain and the Republicans. Anything can happen, but I would suggest you try to keep a more open mind about race, religion and all social aspects of society. I think 50 years ago you'd fit right in, but right now these are changing times.

Of course, you'd probably be writing articles attacking that damn racist Martin Luther King Jr. I'd surmise.

I'm glad we agree on Martin Luther King Jr. Perhaps there is some hope for you. Yes it is way too early to compare Obama to MLK or JFK, however he's the closest thing to either of them in many, many years. He has done a lot in his short time in politics but I expect much more from him.

Time will have to be the judge of who is right and who is wrong about Obama. I just do hope you keep an open mind if Obama makes it into the White House. I know there were many critics of MLK and JFK in the past, I'm curious if those critics continued the hate or came around and admitted they were wrong afterwards. I still find websites attacking MLK which is a pretty sad thing.

Obama is a racist and we are headed for riots. The Obama backers will riot if he doesnt get the nomination of the Dem party. If he does, and runs for president, and fails they will riot. IF HE WINS, THEY WILL RIOT. This is my personal opinion only, and one I do hope is wrong. We will see.
