Why is Obama not held to the same scruteny like other canidates?

If Obama disagrees with Rev. Wright, then why did he wait until now to do so and not when he made the remarks that we deserved what happened on 9-11. Seems that it is only now that it seems to bother him, should it not of bothered him when the statement was first made.

    The media is looking away from the failing campaign of Obama. Since the beginning of the debacle of his candidacy, media has treated him with kid gloves.

    In his second memoir, The Audacity of Hope, 2007, Obama states, “There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.”

    He added: “To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.”

    Obama said he and other blacks were careful not to second-guess their own racial identity in front of whites.

    After graduating from college, Obama eventually went to Chicago to interview for a job as a community organizer. His racial attitudes came into play as he sized up the man who would become his boss.

    “There was something about him that made me wary,” Obama wrote. “A little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.”

    Obama will turn the US over to the UN and the globalists.

    Stop Obama before he trys to shut down this country.

    He apparently never thought this guy would be stupid enough to go out into public and do this until AFTER the Presidency was in the bag.

    EDIT: (Below me,) How in the world is it conceivable that an intelligent, thinking person like yourself could possibly think this guy can lead the most powerful nation in the world if he doesn't even know his own pastor of 20 years is saying this stuff? He was working on Obama's CAMPAIGN, for Chrisssakes. I don't even believe you when you say you still support this guy; you're just clinging to it at this point because you were used to supporting him up until now.

    That is, unless you're just a whitey hater.

    People are too scared to be called racists. I'm sure Obama knew that Rev. Wright at the least had this hate inside him, since he called him an "uncle" who happened to be his sounding board.

    he should have been bothered 20 years ago and walked out of the church if he is so against racism as he professes for most smart people know that this is not just a today in the present position of the good Reverend

    Because your partisanship and zealotry can't see that he is.

    Source(s): http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2007/... this is an article stating that Obama was in fact present at a sermon of wright's while he was spewing hatred for America...the reporter of the article stated he saw Obama nodding his head in agreement with the pastor !!!!!THINGS THAT MAKE YOUGO HHHMMMM!!!

    20 years he's gone to that church,claims he never heard Wright say anything racist and only after the video airs he let's him go from his campaign. `He's a con artist. Now watch him back pedal at warp speed.

    He says he wasn't aware of the sermons. How would he disagree in advance?

    Anyone who thinks Obama isn't being scrutinized, isn't paying attention!
