Barach Oboma was a follower of the Reverend Wright for a number of years and has talked on the good things the minister has done (in his opinion) but not much about the false accusations made by him and his church concerning their concern for the egregious acts they claim were committed by the U.S. Govt.
Now Barrach is affiliated with George Soros –his second and current mentor- whose views about our society and politics are well known by the liberal community. The latest speech made by Barach closely reflect George’s views on his political science views namely the validity of our constitutional rights including- the right to bear arms and freedom of religion. Both of these are basic rights and not up for debate by anybody including junior senators.
I remember the Communists used to refer to our freedom of religion as a narcotic of the masses’ .I am concerned that Barach’s reference to religeon was a trial balloon to see how the public will react to Barach’s/ George Soros political science opinions and the direction they want the United States to go. From what I have heard, the response hasn’t been favorable to Oboma remarks and has instead resulted in a greater scrutiny by the citizens of the United States of his views, and his mentors namely the Reverend Wright-advisor on anti American views and George Soros- financial support, Tony Rezo- indited fixer and William Ayers- unrepentant terrorist.

Barach and Bill have something in common. They both listened to and were influenced by the devil in various disguises. In Barach's case he sucummed to Reverand Wright brain washing of his parishioners and sat through 20 years of political indoctrination intended to persuade them of the evil intent of the United Staes.
In Bill's case the target of opportunity for his sexual marauding was directed to female aides assigned to assist him and Hilliary in the white house.

"When the worst you've got on Obama is his ex-pastor, I'd say he's a great candidate."

If you believe that, you haven't been paying attention.

Wright matters because it goes to Obama's judgment. Wright should be seen in the context of Obama's entire political career, during which he's made several friendships of dubious quality. Holding his first political fundraiser at the home of ex-Weather Underground leaders Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn is another example. His close association with Tony Rezko, now on trial on federal corruption charges, is yet another example.

But these cases are not decisive by themselves. Obama's associations should be viewed in light of his voting record and his policy stands. Whether it's on housing, or health care, or abortion, or the war, what you see is a candidate firmly rooted on the left of the American political spectrum. That's OK, if that's your cup of tea. But that's not the candidate of hope and change that Obama has presented himself to be.

When the worst you've got on Obama is his ex-pastor, I'd say he's a great candidate.

Obama is the one that drops out sometime after next Tuesday and before the superdelegates 'decide' in a non-decisional kind of way.

It will be the only plan with a chance of salvaging November.

They can play a numerous set of cards then to salvage the coalition.

Who cares what Wright says---he sounds a bit insane.
The fact OBAMA attended his church for 20 years listening to his rants are a concern or should be for us all.
What kind of a couple would sit and listen to I HATE AMERICA --WHITEY AND JEWS speeches for 20 years ? Guess the OBAMAS are that couple.
Think that takes a MASK off of the OBAMAs.
We are just starting to know who he really is.
A liar--when he now says Wright wasn't his mentor when Obama claimed he was. Obama is losing ground to Hillary and so NOW he's going to get rid of the "UNCLE" Wright bit.

Jim, I think you're "right on" with your assessment. I also think the American people are fair minded and forgiving, but this takes a stretch for the most fair minded of us.

I still think a remaining legitimate question for the Obama's is, how can they defend taking their young daughters to hear these racial rantings. It only serves to pass these feelings on to the next generation.

I makes you question his judgement, and the fact that he's a self-proclaimed "uniter".

Yes, a great post, Ben. I could hear the dialogue from Goodfellas in my head just from reading the title.

And I will add here a bit of what I've posted elsewhere:

Wright's comments are surely giving Obama trouble. But most fair-minded people -- like you, and even me -- are not comfortable holding Obama accountable for statements that his pastor made. But this mess is really hurting Obama because it undercuts the candidate's credibility. ...

What Wright said this week as he reveled in his 15 minutes of fame, by all accounts and logic, is nothing that he hasn't thought and preached for decades. Yet we are to believe that only now, today, has Obama finally seen it for the ugly stuff that it is? No sale. It's that shocked -- shocked! -- routine that is hurting Obama. He's insulting the intelligence of Americans.
