During the time that you knew the priest did he express any Satanic, or pedophile views? Of course not. Very few people are aware enough to know their priest is a pedophile.......that's how priests got away with it for so long. So your point is not well founded. ===> "There is no truth to the implication that somehow Obama is as radical as Pastor Wright." <=== There is no doubt in my mind that Obama sat through antiAmerican, racist, anti-White rhetoric, from Wright, over and over again. I would have gotten up and walked out the very first time that it happened. I question Obama's judgement in, not only staying with Wright, but selecting Wright is Obama's spiritual mentor. Do you agree with everything your priest says? I know I don't. ===> "We're watching the destruction of one of the few people who has the personal integrity and charisma to help America be great again in the eyes of the world." <=== How is an inexperienced Obama going to warm the hearts of the many corrupt, brutal dictators of this world? By talking to them.........or you are one of these people that thinks shooting first and talking later is the better way to go? Most of the world's democracies hold the US in high regard. Most of the world's tyrants hate the US because we support freedom and democracy, and stand in their way. Most of the people in this world whether in democracies or non democracies do not hold the US in high esteem. Poll after poll has shown that.....so where are you getting your info? ===> "America is going down the toilet and we all seem to be so happily riding the vortex down the tubes. It boggles my mind." <=== We've just gotten through two disastrous terms of a man totally unqualified to be President. You think that selecting as President, an inexperienced, untested man like Obama, is going to solve our problems? He has similar experience to Clinton and McCain. Are you saying that all three are unqualified? What skills, other than oratory, does Obama bring to the table? The Presidency is one of the most challenging, complex jobs in this the world. I don't know if Obama could successfully run a small, uncomplicated business. I don't know if Obama would do any good on the Apprentice reality show? Would he be the first one to be fired? I don't know. If you have this many doubts, why are you thinking of voting for him? What I do feel, that I know, is that neither Obama, Hillary, Bush or McCain have the skills required to be an effective President. That boggles my mind. I know Bush doesn't.......the rest are unvetted. Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing for sure who will make a great president because there is no other job like it anywhere in this country.

I don't know if Obama could successfully run a small, uncomplicated business. He's the CEO of a $168 million enterprise which is the market leader in its (Democratic) niche.

Obama has more experience than Reagan did. Reagan had 8 years as a Governor and then he went on to be a great President. Obama had 8 years as a State Senator and 2+ as a US Senator. Most of the world's democracies hold the US in high regard. You really need to get out more. Most of the world's democracies, including our oldest allies view us with derision. We are the most hated country on earth right now. Why? Because of Bush. We need someone with inspiration, personal charm, likability, and intelligence to be President. Obama fits that bill. Hillary really does not and McCain is an old uninspiring, cantekerous, old man.
