Thomas -

Your post assumes facts that are not in evidence, and ignores facts that are.

You assume, for one thing, that Wright's sermons are all or mostly similar to the two or three that have been posted to YouTube.

You ignore the writings of Obama himself, which don't in any way show that his ideology has been shaped by some kind of hateful invective over the years.

You then further assume that Obama has certain beliefs that differ from those he has personally professed, but that he is not honest enough to own up to them. Somehow, you apparently think, in his entire history as an educator, a community organizer, and a politician, he's been hiding his true beliefs.

Given the bias inherent in that kind of analysis, I'm quite sure I have no hope of convincing you that you are wrong. Fortunately, Obama doesn't need to win over people who think as you do in order to get himself elected.
