I think the only way Obama drops out of this race is if somehow someone gets hold of some actual videotape or picture evidence that while Wright was preaching this hate, Obama was sitting right there listening to it..that will prove once and for all that Obama is a liar..even though we know he's a liar, a picture is worth a thousand words. I have to believe that there a video out there of Obama sitting in the stands, listening to this. Just like OJ was brought down by the photo of him wearing the bruno magli shoes so will Barack Obama

Thank you very much. It's great to be here.
You know, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result. We are going to do things differently and expect a different result. And if we don't do things differently, well, the results we get, well, they'll be the results we deserve. Thank you.
We deserve better results, and that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I'm running for the presidency of the United States of America. If you want the same results done in a different way, then you're going to get the same results, only achieved differently.
If, however, you want different results with a different way, but not done the same way, without the same results, but with new results in a new way, while ensuring the new results are much more new than the old results we've had the old way, then I'm sure you'll agree with me that we, ladies and gentlemen, must work toward a different way, to achieve results in a different way than the way we used to achieve the results differently. Thank you.
Change is never easy. Change is hard. Some change is harder than others. And easy change is never as easy as hard change, if only because hard change is hard. Changing the easy to the hard is harder than changing the hard to the easy.
But if, ladies and gentlemen, you are looking for easy change done the hard way, then that hard change will not be easy, if only because change is hard, and harder change is much harder when it is hard than when it is easy. This is especially the case if you use the same way of changing results that ultimately result in change done the hard way. And that is why I am proposing hard change with a different approach that could ensure a different change than we've had in the past with the same approach only with different results with easy change than the hard change that we've had when change was, in fact, easy. Thank you very much.
We must have hope. Hope is what we must have. If you have no hope, then you are without it more than you would be if, indeed, you had hope. Without hope, there is only hopelessness. If you have hopelessness, then those without hope will never have hope because those who have it, do, and those who don't, don't.
And that is why I intend to hope that we may have more hope, so that those without hope can get it from those who do have hope. So the hopeful must share the hope with the hopeless to reduce the hopeless while uplifting the hopeful. And I certainly hope that we can all agree that hope alone without hoping for those without hope is, in fact, a recipe for further hopelessness. Thank you.
I ask you not to take a chance on me, but to take a chance on your own aspirations. And aspirations are nothing without inspiration. And with inspiration comes perspiration. So I ask you to aspire to perspire so that you may inspire. And with your inspiration, coupled with the aspirations of those who perspire, that perspiration will create further inspiration to which all of us can aspire. And those who inspire the most will perspire the most, only because their aspirations create the greatest inspirations. And it is a false choice to think you can have inspiration without perspiration.
So, if you can't stand the heat in the kitchen, better get yourself out, unless you're popping popcorn! Until you see the whites of their eyes, then, by god, don't you fire! I have but one life to give to my country, but I sure do regret it! We have nothing to fear, but fear itself, especially when fear fears us back! Ask not what you can do for your country, but what your country can do for you! Sí, se puede! Pass the guacamole. Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders do not upset us. Boo-ya!
So to sum up, in conclusion, per se, so to speak, if you will, on the one hand, if not on the other, let me say this: Don't do drugs!
Thank you, and may God bless you, and may God bless America!

Let's hope there is a video of Obama sitting in a pew during one of the "controversial" sermons. Obama flat out denied EVER being present tonight - let's hope that someone was waiting for him to be that definate in his denial - let the show drop. If there is such a tape, his veracity is destroyed and the super delegates will start to flee I think.

That would be AWESOME but I think hell would have to freeze over before Obama endorses anyone except his pretty little self LOL Speaking of Barack Hussein Obama, this radio guy here in L.A while doing the news, by accident called him Obama Bin Laden. I nearly pissed my pants with laughter

This may not take down Obama completely. It will depend on what else is found on the tapes and how much play it gets. If it gets too much play, Obama will drop out of the race and try to save his Senate seat. Because he is already in danger of losing that seat now.
Also if more expose comes out about Rezko that will be interesting.
Did you notice something interesting that happened today? A strategic move actually.
He revealed many more things about Rezko today but it didn't get played because todays talk was Pastor Wright. His campaign did that on purpose because they knew it would not get play and pass by the news cycle.

I would be very cautious about thinking this signals an end to Obama. He seems to be the teflon candidate. The media loves him. The DNC favors him.
Never take anything for granted when dealing with a personality with a so-called "charmed" life.
As we have pointed out, any reasonable person without blinders on can figure out that B.O. must have heard Rev. Wright's rants over the 20 or so years he's known the man! I'm sure they have had many personal discussions about his views... and yet B.O. never saw the danger in this? Maybe because this is what he believes too? But already the spin seems to be out there that oh well, just another goofy boneheaded move by the unsullied Obama. Yeah, right. I'm kind of tired of that affable, boneheaded-don't-blame-me excuse. C'mon America! Is this a man you want making serious decisions as President who will make a mistake and then say, oh darn, that was a boneheaded move/decision. Geesh.:eek:

he needs to step down...sorry I don't buy anything he says...never have...it makes me angry that he thinks we are all so stupid to believe he never heard any of the hate that was spewing out of wright's mouth...even the new pastor to his church has similar "feelings". He's a liar and cannot be trusted at all!!See ya, bye!!:mad:
I think FAUX news network will keep the videos in play for a while. The superdelegates are obligated to consider how Churchgate damages a McCain-Hobama matchup. Can't be good.
But I really do believe Hillary is going to trounce Obama in the remaining states, making everything else a moot point.:D Can't wait to see Chris Matthews's smug mug then!!!:p:p

In addition to all the fine points listed about about this issue, I am choking on the hypocrisy of BO's treatment compared to what Hillary would receive. We all know that if the situation were reversed, the so-called journalists would be stumbling over themselves in their condemnation of her. And I imagine that the calls for her removal from the race would be ringing across the land. I don't know if anyone saw Keith Oberman interview BO last night (I only could stomach a couple minutes before turning it off in disgust), but KO was practically saying "there, there Obama it will be OK. I believe you." It was nauseating.
We just have to believe that Hillary will continue to push forward and win big in the primaries to come. She can do it!:D

Whatever media is trying project as nothing happened, I can tell you, I have spoken dozen of people and all are saying big NO to BO. They want Hillary, if Hillary is not on ticket they will vote for McCain, but not to this guy at all.
People are really scared, they just don't trust him. Students/youth have more access to online video and they are the one who are very shocked.
All his good will among young is evaporating. Mature geneartion never liked him anyway.

I decided to refer to it from now on in all my blogs on various news media. We need to keep it fresh in other people's mind.;)
i am finding that, among those i know who support him, they have hardened even more in his support. i posted (somewhere on the site :o) an email from a friend, and her reply. last night, on the site, she totally called those of us brave enough to say obama's church is racist, racists. she said that everything that wright guy said is the truth, and that "it makes whites uncomfortable to hear the truth". umm, what?
i cannot grasp all this. it is insanity and it scares me. to even think of ob being president,,, imagine it, wright and farrackan in the background advising him. scares me.

Don't worry about media spin. the fact that it is out there is ENOUGH. people don't want another radical in the white house. we've had that in the past 7 years. we don't need any more.
I LAUGHED SO HARD at the baby spit up t-shirt. you guys are funny.
seems the media is drinking more "cool aid" now that they can't deny this latest blunder.
BO shows over and over and over again the POOR JUDGEMENT he has by the company he keeps. Look at the 2 "professors of foreign policy" that had to resign, and wright, tony, etc.
I do feel bad about all the young people that BO has "hoodwinked, bamboozled" with his banal "yes we can" drivel. May it be on his soul if he permanently dishenfranchises some of those young people from politics. How DARE YOU BO!
Hillary was RIGHT ON in the debate when she said to BO "You're never responsible for anything! It's never your fault."
GO HILLARY - WE LOVE YOU - WE NEED YOU - YOU WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!

Wright will strike them where they live. I'm just wondering when the DNC will begin to see BO as the liability he is.

I agree. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem like the McCain people are exploiting this now, they're just waiting for Hillary to be out of the picture (and we will NOT let that happen). I mean, if I were a McCain strategist, I'd want this whole thing to blow over at this point in time, otherwise it would make more people vote for Hillary (the one who CAN beat McCain) in the primaries.
Wright sickens me. I hate that I share his last name. I hate that the Obamas subject their young daughters to this.
"God damn America." That is a gift to the Republicans. Obama is done, either now or in the GE. We just have to make sure that it's not in the GE!

HRC needs to stand above it and let it play out. BO is his own undoing.

I did notice what he revealed today... In his interview with the Chicago journalists, as he reveals the details of his relationship with Rezko (he went from "some donor" to "friend"). In the article he says-- THREE times--- that he exercised bad judgement. That he trusted Rezko and believed what he said. I say that is scary in the White House. You can't be so naive as to "believe" what people tell you-- that is gullabillity IN another article today (must have been on the Pastor) he said he exercised bad judgement. At other times he has told the public to trust his judgement. When has it worked out for him?

Jeremiah Wright's special blend of hatemongering is good for one thing: a whole shelf of new Obama books! If Obama took The Audacity of Hope from a Wright sermon, just think of the fantastic books he could write based on other creative Jeremiah Wright sermons. Some of these could even be children's books! (Can't you just picture anthromorphic fuzzy bunnies featured in a book called "G** D*** America!".

It makes me crazy to go to political sites and find that pop-up poll that asks "Should Hillary drop out now?" I still have hope that somebody, somewhere has the bit of dirt that will make it impossible for Obama to win this thing. If he does win the nomination, I know the republicans will be absolutely ruthless where he's concerned.
