Negro, black man, white man, African, American, please! Give it up.
"Had the reverend [Jeremiah Wright] not retired, and had he not acknowledged that what he had said had deeply offended people and were inappropriate and mischaracterized what I believe is the greatness of this country, for all its flaws, then I wouldn't have felt comfortable staying at the church," Obama said Thursday during a taping of the ABC talk show, "The View."Don't you think it's time to learn when to shut up?
UPDATE: Oh yeah; remember when Obama said this?
I can no more disown him [Wright] than I can disown the black community.If Obama can't disown Wright then why would he have left had Wright stayed? I'm smelling waffles.
I smell waffles in a boat that is being back pedaled. Maybe that is not waffles we smell but pandering, flipping (that would be pancakes of course), or maybe it just smells, period.

Would your “church,” if you fellowship with one, put on it’s bulletin board hateful articles from the anti-semitic, terrorist group Hamas? Barack Obama’s CURRENT church, Trinity United Church of Christ, did just that.
We just found out in the last 48 hours that Wright, while giving a eulogy in 2007, said that “(Jesus’) enemies had their opinion about Him… The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans.”
Now comes a report by NBC News that while Wright was in charge at Obama’s CURRENT church, reprinted anti-Israel writings, including one column by none other than Hamas leader, Mousa Abu Marzook, appeared on the bulletin board there.
The column by the Hamas leader, Mousa Abu Marzook, asked: “Why should any Palestinian recognise the monstrous crimes carried out by Israel’s founders and continued by its deformed modern apartheid state?”
The question becomes one of judgment, character, integrity, honesty and intelligence.
If I were to believe Obama’s defense that he didn’t, and still doesn’t, know what was, and still is, going on at his church for 20 years, then, in my opinion, he must not be very observant nor intelligent, and does not possess sensible judgement. Therefore he cannot be qualified to be the POTUS, in my opinion. If I do NOT believe Obama, then his integrity, character and honesty is woefully insufficient to be the POTUS, in my opinion.
Obama went to Harvard Law School (they don’t let just anybody in), where he became the first African-American president of the prestigious Harvard Law Review. He graduated magna cum laude in 1991. Now do you think he is NOT aware of what his church and ex-pastor are all about? Be AFRAID! Be VERY AFRAID!
Barack Obama’s political FRAUD against the American People continues…

Waffles? Strange, waffles always smelled good to me.
Me thinks you mean that someone forgot to replace the manhole cover on the local sewer.

Yep, he reetired a couple of months ago. But the new pastor is cut from the same mold.

That's because you have a nose for The Obama's Lies!
Maybe you should take a picture in the "Typical White Person" shirt in front of BO's 'current church' and use it for your Christmas card. ;) You rock!
