I found myself agreeing with much of the Reverend Wright's sermon. Obama should debate it, point by point. America HAS done much evil in the world. A Christian God WOULD damn the evil America has done. America should strive to be a better place. And how do you think that would fly in OH? Let me remind you that just a few months ago there was finally a majority of Americans who thought we should get out of Iraq. A few months of successful surge and the majority is back down. Americans believes this crap that God is behind us and we can do no wrong. In their minds, Wright's comments = a terrorist's comments.

America should strive to be a better place. It has and it continues to do so. That is the beauty of this country. I also agree that there are some in this country who continue to preach and act on racial hatred. Or else you would not have had the killing of a gay school student in Laramie Wyoming etc. etc. But surely 9/11 is not acceptable under any form of payback. Bad as it is what some of our preachers do from the bully pulpit. But for Hillary to fan the flames of race to get to the Presidency is highly deplorable. We need to come out strongly against identity politics and banish her to the garbage can for employing such tactics. Ask yourself who is it that posted those videos on YouTube that CNN and FOX played. They were posted on the day of the MS primary.

===> "America HAS done much evil in the world. A Christian God WOULD damn the evil America has done." <=== If it weren't for America's strong stand for freedom and democracy, almost all, if not all, of this world would be ruled by corrupt, violent, Imperialistic tyrants. America's best went to Europe twice, through two world wars, and paid a high price in both lives and limbs, to keep Europe free. After WWII, America not only forgave Germany and Italy, America helped to rebuild Europe and Japan. Even today, America is standing strong against the IslamoFascists, who want to destroy freedom and democracy, just as they have destroyed freedom and democracy throughout the Muslim world. You just take at least a little time to study the history of the US, and the world, prior to falsely condemning America.
