The Rev Wright's sermons that I heard were about hate. Someone with that much anti-white sentiment can't be into much of that lovin feelin.

Obama's book: Dreams from my Father - what he doesn't say: "Yet an investigation by The Mail on Sunday has revealed that, for all Mr Obama's reputation for straight talking and the compelling narrative of his recollections, they are largely myth." "Mr Obama Jnr claims that racism on both sides of the family destroyed the marriage between his mother and father. "In his book, he says that Ann's mother, who went by the nickname Tut, did not want a black son-in-law, and Obama Snr's father 'didn't want the Obama blood sullied by a white woman'. "In fact Ann divorced her husband after she discovered his bigamous double life. She remarried and moved to Indonesia with young Barack and her new husband, an oil company manager." It is alleged that Ruth (Barack sr's 3rd wife) finally left him after he repeatedly flew into whisky-fuelled rages, beating her brutally. Friends say drinking blighted his life - he lost both his legs while driving under the influence and also lost his job. However, this was no bar to his womanising: he sired a son, his eighth child, by yet another woman and continued to come home drunk. He was about to marry her when he finally died in yet another drunken crash when Obama was 21." Pulling a disingenuous race card: Mr Obama says his soaring 'dream' of a better America grew out of his 'hurt and pain'. Friends, however, remember his time at school rather differently. He was a spoiled high-achiever, they recall, who seemed as fond of his grandparents as they were of him. He affectionately signed a school photo of himself to them, using their pet names, Tut and Gramps. The caption says: "Thanks... for all the good times." He worked on the school's literary magazine and wore a white suit, of the style popular with New York writers at the time. One of his former classmates, Alan Lum, said: "Hawaii is such a melting pot that it didn't occur to me when we were growing up that he might have problems about being one of the few African-Americans at the school. Us kids didn't see colour. He was easy-going and well-liked." Lon Wysard, who also attended the academy, said the budding politician was in fact idolised for his keen sportsmanship. "He was the star basketball player and always had a ball in his hand wherever he was," Wysard recalled. Mr Obama was later admitted to read politics and international relations at New York's prestigious Columbia University where, his book claims, "no matter how many times the administration tried to paint them over, the walls remained scratched with blunt correspondence (about) niggers." But one of his classmates, Joe Zwicker, 45, now a lawyer in Boston, said yesterday: "That surprises me. Columbia was a pretty tolerant place. There were African American students in my classes and I never saw any evidence of racism at all." Family members and acquaintances believe that the real cloud over Mr Obama's life has been the discovery that his father was far from the romantic figure that his mother tried to portray. dailymail.co.uk.

My source Michael Cunningham.. His calls last night which was the only one I listened to accused Obama of being tied to the Kremlin and Communism. He cited Angela Davis, Kathy Dorn and all the extremists of the sixties who are teaching at the colleges. AND they are infecting the minds of our young. In fact he called it Weapons of the Mind Destruction. The only reason college kids are coming out and voting for Obama is that they have been brain washed by these communist professors. We have to clean out the colleges of this trash. We have to get rid of these liberals who are in fact communists. Obama leads them . Notice he doesn't wear an American Flag in his lapel.. He goes to that church where that other communist preaches.. This RANT WENT ON FOR FIVE MINUTES AND MICHALE CUNNINGHAM CHEERED HIM ON. I switched to another station but I think everyone should know what these right wing talk show guys are doing to reputations of the candidates.
