Obama’s position that he was unaware of his churches anti-American politics is a joke, he sought the church out to gain political power in Chicago, the parishioners who jumped for joy when Rev. Wright damned the USA after 9/11 were his South-side constituents. With this fact in mind, his 2002 objection of the Iraq War was not courageous, it was merely singing in the choir at Trinity United.
Obama made statements in 04 that Trent Lott should step down from his GOP leadership post due to the remarks he made praising Strom Thurman at Strom’s 100th birthday party, He also said that Don Imus should be fired for the derogatory remarks made jokingly about the Rutgers ladies B-Ball team. All this would fine and dandy, but Obama does not hold his friends to the same standards, he sat in a church for 20 yrs were his so called “adopted uncle of choice” said far worse, and Obama is not on record as ever uttering a peep against it, until the sermons blew up in the media. (again thank god for Fox News otherwise the rest of the media would have buried it under the rug) Instead of condemning Wright, Obama had him on his original campaign staff, Wright married him and his wife and baptized his children. Obama had been a member of this radical church for 20 years, he took his very young impressionable children to this church to hear Wright denounce the USA and preach hatred of whites, a church that Oprah had enough sense for that same reason to leave in the mid 90’s. His Church praised Farrakhan and went to visit Qaddafi while Libya was still a sworn enemy of the USA. Rev. Wright, before he was shipped off to Africa away from the glare of the election told the American Press Club that the reason why Obama is now separating himself and denying his understanding of the churches doctrine, is because he is a politician. Basically, Wright called Obama a liar, and for that reason, Obama finally quit the church.To believe Obama’s line that he was unaware of the doctrine that was preached on Sunday’s and sold in the church lobby on Tapes, CD’s and books is ridiculous.
The tomorrow is the big day for Obama! It will be a bitter sweet victory for him. He will be happy to be president, but his grandmother will not be alive to see it.
This is so drastic! My heart goes out to Obama during his lost of his grandmother, it is so sad his Grammy will not be here to see him become president of the United States. I guess she is at peace, because she knows it will happen for her grandson.
Obama’s grandmother dies of cancer in Hawaii
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s grandmother died of cancer, he said in a statement on Monday, a little more than a week after Obama interrupted the White House race to say goodbye to her in Hawaii.
“It is with great sadness that we announce that our grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, has died peacefully after a battle with cancer,” Obama said in a joint statement with his sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng. “She was the cornerstone of our family, and a woman of extraordinary accomplishment, strength, and humility.”
Dunham helped raise Obama from the age of 10 while his mother was working in Indonesia, and Obama took an emotional 22-hour trip to Hawaii to visit her on October 23 and 24.
