Goodness, there is no comparison here whatsoever... what was written in a passage of a book 20 and 30 years ago is not the same thing as using the religious pulpit to preach divisive and inflammatory ideology in 2008... things are very different today... for example, today we have single moms, 30 years ago a single mom was a disgrace... I don't need to list the differences between then and now, but to compare a passage in a book to a 20 year association with an extreme left wing radical is a bit much...<g> But, even then, the authors of those written passages were not running for President of the United States... there are so many huge differences here that I could spend a week listing them...<g> obama is asking people to TRUST his judgement since he has no experience... but, where was his good judgement in associating with anyone that could raise an eyebrow the way this pastor does? This is going to finish him, just watch... GZ

* David Walker, former U.S. Comptroller General (and one of the main focuses of our documentary, I.O.U.S.A. ), gives us another reason to sell the United States. The U.S. “financing gap” – the difference between what the U.S. government can reasonably expect in revenues and what it has committed to pay out – is growing by $2 to $3 trillion per year. Since George W. Bush took over in the White House, $20 trillion has been added to this deficit. * Politicians can’t get away with anything anymore – except killing people and destroying their nation’s economies. “I don’t get it...” said a French businessman over lunch on Friday. “In fact, I don’t think any of us get it. You’ve got a guy – the governor of New York – who hires a prostitute. He gets caught and has to resign. But the President of the United States lied to the American people and started a war in which thousands have died...a war that is so expensive it threatens to bankrupt the entire nation. How come he doesn’t have to resign? Strange system.” …” Bill Bonner The Daily Reckoning Message 24414004
