Hillary Rodham Clinton is standing up for her rival Barack Obama as comments from President Bush stir up controversy amid the pool of his potential successors.

Obama is accusing Bush of a "false political attack," after
the president warned against appeasing terrorists during a speech
in Israel.

The president said: "Some seem to believe that we should
negotiate with the terrorists and radicals," a move he calls a
"foolish delusion." The White House denies Bush was targeting
Obama.

Clinton says the comments were "offensive and outrageous," and
have "no place in any presidential address."

Obama's campaign took the comments as a criticism of his
position that as president he would be willing to meet with Iran's
leaders and those of other regimes the U.S. considers rogue.

So Brad....you attended this church over the past 20 years and know for certain that Wright's message for 20 years consisted of inflammatory comments against whites?? Being judgemental once again is not the christian way. You just like all the other Obama bashers are searching for an angle to prevent him from being elected. An indivdual's relationship with their pastor, in many cases, is a valued one. Much like that of a parent. A perfect example is the fact that my mother does not like white people because of things they have done to her. I did not follow her lead on that particular attitude because I have my own mind. That was just one facet of life that I did not agree with. Now in this case you are assuming that Obama agrees with Wright just because he (Wright) too may have had some encounter that makes him speak about whites in that way. My point, Brad, don't be judgemental and make assumptions because you want everyone to speak out against Obama.

Tired of it all & the rest, EVERY individual that I know attends a particular church and continues to go to the same church(especially if for 20 years)because they believe in what that church represents and stands for. If not, they find another church. The church obama attended for 20 years obviously believes in what wright preached, which without question(simply because it came directly from his mouth as everyone has seen) is at times antiwhite race and antiAmerican. ONLY until it was public did obama separate from wright because it flawed his image w/the white race and threatened his political hopes. Without question obama shared wright's views; that's why it upset wright so much when obama separated himself from wright. So when you do the math, obama & family do share the same views; which is much more than likely. The ones that don't see this are either extremely naive or too afraid to admit that he is not the individual they thought he was.

Hang in there Ted..I served 3 years combat in Vietnam and experienced the Yuppie revolution. The I hate America/crybaby generation, being educated by Liberal professors, will eventually turn this great nation into a Socialistic society. To Tired of it all...It is not the gay marriage that disturbs me. It is that the voters in California voted the amendment down; but 4 activist judges went against the will of the people. These are the type of "nitwits" Obama is supporting. 75% of Congress is made up of lawyers. No wonder nothing gets done. Freedom is not free....Wake up America!!!
