Forums - General Discussion - What Obama thought about rev. Wright in 1995

its over, obama is leading in polls by almost 10 points and is seen as clinching the win by 98% probability.

It already has, in February when they thought Hillary was going to be the candidate my post count was around 1200. Thanks Halo and BigJon. :)



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

lol. and yet they still don't get it. Am i proud to be american?



Can't we all just admit that it takes an asshole to become a politician and an extra-special asshole to become a prominent politician?

I like things about both candidates, but let's not pretend as if they both don't have huge skeletons in their respective closets. I don't like Obama's connections to Ayers and Wright and I think they reflect very poorly on his character but I'm not going to throw a fit about it. McCain has plenty of old connections I don't like either.

you guys dont get it. It is not JUST reverend white or Ayers. If it was one of these people in an isolated occurance it would not get all the attention. The problem most people who are not blinding themselves are seeing is the PATTERN. It just seems like one radical association after another with BO. Did you hear about the banquet or whatever Obama was at in 2001? ya the LA Times is refusing to release, hiding something are we?

The LA times article was written 6 months ago.  The LA times got the tape on the condition that it would not release the tape.

Indeed, no politician, or anybody for that matter, is perfect.  That's why dwelling on things like this is a waste of time, and distracts from the actual issues.

Now it would be different if John McCain or Obama ran a prostitution ring in the past or something, but people just need to drop all these stories.  The Democrats have been doing a fairly good job about not harping on McCain by adopting all the conspiracy theories out there, (That he was brainwashed in Vietnam, that he was an incompetent solider, that he is corrupt and had a lot of associations with Abramoff and the Keating Five, etc.).

No politician is perfect, but trying to play guilt by association is just plain childish.

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

Exactly. How repulsive would Republicans find that kind of talk?

Like I said, I think everyone should take a look at Ayers and Wright and say "Well, those were poor decisions. Obama should have been smarter than that." and leave it at that unless we want to start questioning some pretty ugly notions regarding McCain.

Whoa, McCain was brainwashed? That's news to me. I was on the fence, but I think I'll vote for Obama now. Thanks for the heads up, akuma.
