When it comes to the really important decisions, such as invading and occupying a nation on the other side of the world, Obama's leadership, judgment and courage beat Hilldog's by a factor of ten.

There is a very significant observation Obama made during his Tuesday speech and I am lifting it from his speech as is: The profound mistake of Reverend Wright’s sermons is not that he spoke about racism in our society. It’s that he spoke as if our society was static; as if no progress has been made; as if this country – a country that has made it possible for one of his own members to run for the highest office in the land and build a coalition of white and black; Latino and Asian, rich and poor, young and old — is still irrevocably bound to a tragic past. Would you agree that your post falls into the same category as Rev. Wright and what Obama had to say about such opinions?

quehubo; A real leader could have used his influence and example in any number of ways in response to the counterproductive preachings Oh my gosh, maybe he had more important LEADERSHIP things on his mind than what his preacher said - like opposing the war when virtually every other American fell into line behind the Presidents marching orders? A black man who has made senator and is running ahead in the Presidential race and who had the balls to oppose the war - and you question his leadership? And so Hillary is more of a leader why? Because she bedded Bill? If you believe in our country, then you must surely support the separation of church and state. steve
