Obama had better "hope" he nor Michelle are in any of those tapes. I imagine anyone with access to the tapes are scanning the audience to see if BO or MO are in it. After that statement, his campaign is dead if he's shown to be "present".

1. Maybe that's what he meant IRT meeting with our enemies. Sure, I'll meet with them, but |
|
I'll just totally ignore what they say, just like I did with Wright.

He didn't even vote, 'Present' this time around.
But afterwards, he went back to the church and continued attending his sermons.

Up until tonight, even as these tapes began to come out, I was all for the "Dream" ticket. Now I believe it will be a "Nightmare" ticket.
I was even buying into the concept that perhaps both sides were just being hyper-sensitive. They were seeing racism and we were seeing sexism and it was all just communication problems.
No longer. I now believe they are running a racist and sexist campaign. And it comes of seeing just what kind of spirituality Obama learned from his long time mentor.
We should have seen it coming when there was an uproar over Biden's "articulate" gaffe. That was the first stone thrown in the "they are being racist to Obama!" persecution meme/

6. Even if that were the case, it would imply that Obama had no personal interactions |
|
with other members of the congregation in that whole 20-year span. Maybe he is secretly a type of individual that no one will speak to in person :)

8. Sure explains some of her attitude, |
|
doesn't it?
I can see it now in the GE: Gentle paternal over-voice "Is Obama the (w)right candidate for President?"
If he's the nominee we are so screwn.
