Obama
Tuesday's Democratic nod should go to Obama
Date published: 2/8/2008
In the end, the choice in this election is not between regions or religions or genders. It's about whether we settle for the same divisions and distractions and drama that passes for politics today, or whether we reach for a politics of common sense and innovation; of shared sacrifice and shared prosperity. --Sen. Barack Obama FOR TOO LONG, Americans have Mr. Obama articulates the frustration of the American people when he talks of the ideological divide in Washington that has wrapped politicians in a self-made straitjacket. It's time for a differ-ent course. Mr. Obama is able to think beyond partisanship and convincingly reach across political boundaries with a graciousness all too lacking in Washington. The nation faces many serious challenges: the very real threat of terrorism, economic struggles, crumbing infrastructure, health-care costs, and energy woes. Surmounting these obstacles will require intelligence and strong leadership. Mr. Obama's intelligence is proven, and his leadership, while largely untested, seems constructed of the necessary elements. One is good character. Another is the ability to unify people--a quality he has displayed already in this campaign. There is no doubt that Mr. Obama's opponent, Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York, is a bright woman who knows policy and politics and how to wield power. What Mr. Obama offers the Democratic Party is a vision that transcends thumping the opposition and an eloquence that inspires even those disquieted by his liberal views. He is the decidedly better choice for Democrats on Tuesday.

Chriswald, if you think this issue is going away, we keep on
smokin' that dope. Reverend Wight is a Farrakhanite. A
Farrakhanite. Obama should have done more than just
disagree with what Reverend Wright says. He should have
left that church immediately. I can see the campaign ads
now. Bad thing for me is that I cannot stand McCain and
will vote 3rd party.
Fact check for the race-baiting provocateurs...

Robert Byrd renounced his association with the KKK years before running for public office. David Duke is an unapologetic white supremacist who has associated himself with the Republican party. Barack Obama has distanced himself from Reverend Wright on many occasions. Obama quote: "There are things he says at times with which I deeply disagree." The Reverends Falwell and Robertson have said many positive, sensible things. They have also said some very stupid things, such as blaming the 9/11 attack on pagans, abortionists, feminists, gays and lesbians.
They let Sen. Robert KKK Byrd (D) WV have a pass

I guess if a liberal can be a KKK member and get a pass, Obama can be associated with a racist preacher too. I guess we all CAN get along! Where's David DUke? Is it group hug time for the democrats?

I don't know if it is obvious media double standard liberal
bias, but Barak Obama's spiritual advisor, in fact, the man
who married Obama to his wife Michelle, is an avowed Black
Nationalist and Farrakhanite, who has accompanied Louis
Farrakhan on trips to Libya. Please, liberal media, report
the truth and do not conceal such pertinent and disturbing
facts from the American people. If Barak were such a
"bringing together of people," then he should have dumped
the Reverend Wright long ago.
