Why should we consider a man who did not have the guts to switch preachers for President?

If Obama could not walk away from a preacher who taught hatred and racism to him for the last 20 years, how can we trust him to be our commander in chief?

    I'm not seeing the correlation between Obama's ability to be president effectively and his personal relationship with God or his church.

    A few excerpts from his book:

    "During college, Obama disapproved of what he called other “half-breeds” who gravitated toward whites instead of blacks. And yet after college, he once fell in love with a white woman, only to push her away when he concluded he would have to assimilate into her world, not the other way around. He later married a black woman.

    Such candid racial revelations abound in “Dreams,” which was first published in 1995, when Obama was 34 and not yet in politics. By the time he ran for his Senate seat in 2004, he observed of that first memoir: “Certain passages have proven to be inconvenient politically.”

    Notice he does not say wrong, just inconvenient politically. He agrees with Wright that is why he never walked away.

    We can't.

    Apparently Colin Powell attended part of one of Wright's sermons, but only for a minute, long enough to get the jest of what was being said. He walked out immediately.

    Wright, Michelle and Obama have all proven to be racists and unpatriotic. I don't trust Obama or the other two. We don't need an unpatriotic racist in The White House.

    Hillary was never an option.

    I am voting for John McCain, as he is the only qualified and prepared candidate to lead our country during this difficult period.

    I don't want to criticize the guy, because it's his freedom and if he's racist, there's nothing anybody can do about that. We can't make him a better candidate. What we can do is vote for the next president and we can do it wisely, meaning that we can use our knowledge of each candidate and vote for the right one. We can make a difference, breaking through any rancor that has coated us and use our logic to create this country as one.

    Obama can't be trusted and he has never proven to me that he has ever done anything substantial that would give him the wisdom and experience to be the leader of the free world.

    Thats a nice question!! I like it!

    How come Obama has a good judgment if he don't know on how to select a good preacher?

    Time for us to wake up!

    That's true, and would he have the guts to push the red button on Iran or another hostile country, I think not.

    I could use the same logic in considering voting for a woman who didn't step away from someone when he drug their family (and our country) through the mud... To me it's hypocritical for Hillary to say she would have left this church when she obviously is pretty damn forgiving...
