Obamas Rev. Wright

[Psycho4Bud]

Regardless of the fact that he says he doesn't agree with the reverend. Isn't Obama's mother white? Do you really think he has these black supremacist ideas when a white woman raised him?

Obama's parents met while both were attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where his father was enrolled as a foreign student.[11] They separated when he was two years old and later divorced.[12] His father received a Masters Degree in Economics from Harvard University, then returned to Kenya, where he became a finance minister before dying in an automobile accident in 1982.[13][14] His mother married another foreign student, Lolo Soetoro, and the family moved to Soetoro's home country of Indonesia in 1967.[15] Obama attended local schools in Jakarta where classes were taught in Bahasa, the language of Indonesia and Malaysia, from ages 6 to 10. Obama was registered by his family as a Muslim, the religion of his father, at both of the elementary schools he attended, the Fransiskus Assisis school for almost three years,[16], and then, when his family moved to a new neighborhood, the government-run SDN Menteng 1 to complete the third and fourth grades.[17][18] At the Catholic school he was required to pray to Christ before and after each class, while in his last year he received two hours of training a week in Islamic practice. [19] According to Obama's sister, Maya Soetoro, "My father never went to prayer services except for big communal events."[20] Obama returned to Honolulu to live with his maternal grandparents while attending Punahou School, a private college preparatory school, from the fifth grade until his graduation in 1979.

Raised "just" by his mother? Seems momma may have been white but preferred to be with non-white males. Christ, after reading this and hearing all the "poor ol' Obama....just him and ma toughing it out in Hawaii".....what a joke! Hillary may not know what it's like to be a poor black man but he sure the hell doesn't have a clue either. Here's a bit about step-daddy:

Soetoro worked for the Indonesian government and later a U.S. oil company before he and Obama's mother divorced in the late 1970s. Soetoro died of a liver ailment in 1987 at age 51.

He chose his church and his mentor on his own. Don't you think that these type of discussions woudn't come up with your mentor? Or somebody you considered as close as an uncle?

I've talked to some far right Christians who will align a preachers thoughts with the people that sit under him, but not being even slightly religious myself that doesn't make any sense to me. Or most other people, religious or not, that I've talked to. And really those far right Christians wouldn't vote for a dem anyway, so I don't really see this story hurting Obama's votes.

The man that was so shiny clean has some dirt on his ass now. Between this and Rezko he's had clean-up to do. The DNC wants somebody that can beat McCain. Obama looked like the person because of his image but now that's gone. Based on experience on foriegn affairs not to mention track records on things like earmarks....McCain now leads Obama in the general election polls.

If he's nominated....watch a large sector of the Clinton fan club to jump over to McCain or stay home in November.

Have a good one!:s4:

An almost comical response. Thanks for the chuckles. :thumbsup:
Was infering his mothers theological leanings:

When Obama was 2 years old, his parents divorced and his father moved away from the familyâ??s home in Hawaii. Four years later, his mother married an Indonesian man, Lolo Soetoro, who moved his new wife and stepson to Jakarta.

â??During the five years that we would live with my stepfather in Indonesia, I was sent first to a neighborhood Catholic school and then to a predominately Muslim school,â?� Obama wrote in â??Audacity.â?� â??In our household, the Bible, the Koran, and the Bhagavad Gita sat on the shelf.â?�

Obamaâ??s stepfather was a practicing Muslim.

I don't understand what you're trying to say?

To me it's kind of offensive when people act as if having an Islamic background is a bad thing.

If Obama does win the nomination it definitely isn't going to be as easy to beat McCain as originally thought. It'll be an interesting election since McCain is really not that far right and both Hillary and Obama have some extremely liberal ideas.

I have nothing against the muslim mainstream, but am against a quasi-muslim church that masks itself in the label of christianity.

I wonder why Oprah quit that church?

Oprah on a Mission: Dispensing a Gospel of Health and Happiness
"The timing of the TV show, at least in the Chicago area -- Oprahâ??s home turf -- has a whiff of morning service. Itâ??s an hour-long ritual each weekday at 9 AM., adding up to a lot more pulpit time per week than the average pastor enjoys, and in front of a lot bigger congregation. (Oprah herself used to attend a large Chicago church -- Trinity United Church of Christ, pastored by Jeremiah Wright. But according to Wrightâ??s secretary, Janet Moore, Oprah hasnâ??t attended in 12 years.)"

ahhh religion and politics
what better things to discuss
radical any religion is stupid what ever religion you want to mention
it would take days to list them all from the dawn of time,and as long as records have been kept,more wars and death have come from religion.
we have it here,as the reverend so nicely showed us, and he has the right to say whatever he wants. thats his god given right freedom of speech,er did i say god given.hehehe silly me constitutional god given right.

is he right about an uncle that talks that way, yes i believe alot of us probably have that uncle, do i go see him every sunday and give him money to support him with tithes? nnooopppeee
and i believe allot of us would say no to.

after my experiences,with church, i think religion gives hypocrites something to feel good about. they are the first to cast the stone when they are supposed to forgive and don't.just like now after reading these posts.

there are the exceptions, but the rule is always the same.what ever the religion,its probably more human nature i suppose.

I remember when I was a kid, my aunt Betty was a loon. ALOT of times when we left her house the ol' man would say right out not to pay attention what the woman had to say it was WRONG and she was drunk.

When ya walk out of your church how many times have you looked at your children and told them to nevermind what the Reverend had to say? I'll bet Obama didn't either....

Have a good one!:s4:
