MNVoter, so we are barred from considering/listening to any legitimate questioning of our candidate? We must either stand with Obama blindly or not at all? That is fanaticism, friend. I don't think it does justice to our candidate or ourselves. I think unconditional/unquestioning loyalty belongs more to the realm of "true love" - even there it is a doubtful/irrational frame of mind. I think we have to be very careful here.

To me, solving a problem means facing it. Obama was on all the media outlets yesterday because he realized, as many of us do, that there are some pesky questions that need to be addressed here. There is a reason why I have posted for the first time this late in the campaign. I do believe we are confronted with one of the most complex knots in this campaign cycle.

I have been reflecting on TerryHallinan's points (in his earlier posting here) about US being somewhat responsible for:

... US the number one killer, held US responsible for
AIDS/9-11/Mandela's imprisonment and apartheid/Palestinian
plight/killing of innocents to bring down Castro & Libya ...

I think we all agree that the AIDS issue is totally ridiculous. As for others, isn't TerryHallinan right?

Thank you, Desidero. I was afraid as I put this together that I might be heavily criticized by fellow supporters for showing a lack of faith, for being spineless etc. But, all in all, the response has been good. To me, politics is not sport. Ultimately we are trying to figure out a candidate who will be best positioned to lead our country.

Are you equating me to Pastor Wright? Are you comparing summation of my thoughts to the preachings of Wright? I don't get it, where's the comparison? I am just undergoing some doubts that I am trying to confront here - just some questions I am posing. How is that sermonizing? What am I preaching?

The point is not if he can survive the fight against Hillary and become the nominee. The point is, can our candidate survive against McCain? With scores of DVDs containing such provocative commentary from the Pastor to pick from, I greatly fear the Republicans will hammer Obama 24/7 until no white person will be willing to vote for him.

I mean, let's face it, there is no world order the Pastor hasn't offended except the blacks and the third world countries.

I just went to Youtube. The FOX clip has hits coming from all over Europe. It's unbelievable.

The question here is not whether our candidate can survive against Hillary and be nominated for the general election. Question is, can he survive the general election with the scores of DVDs containing provocative commentary from the Pastor? You know the Republicans will be quite vicious with this.

I just heard that the pastor has resigned from Obama's campaign. As I said, I am not sure this is sufficient.
