His intelligence is devoted to exhibiting anger towards America and formulating excuses for rampant crime & drugs within his community. It's reminiscent of clever criminals who could achieve success if their mental energy was focused instead on legal endeavors.

McCain calls Obama insensitive to poor people By RASHA MADKOUR, Associated Press CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Sunday called Democratic rival Barack Obama insensitive to poor people and out of touch on economic issues. The GOP nominee-in-waiting rapped his Democratic rival for opposing his idea to suspend the tax on fuel during the summer, a proposal that McCain believes will particularly help low-income people who usually have older cars that guzzle more gas. "I noticed again today that Sen. Obama repeated his opposition to giving low-income Americans a tax break, a little bit of relief so they can travel a little further and a little longer, and maybe have a little bit of money left over to enjoy some other things in their lives," McCain said. "Obviously Sen. Obama does not understand that this would be a nice thing for Americans, and the special interests should not be dictating this policy." "Sen. Obama wants to raise the capital gains tax, which would have a direct effect on 100 million Americans," McCain said. "That means he has no understanding of the economy and that he is totally insensitive to the hopes and dreams and ambitions of 100 million Americans who will be affected by his almost doubling of the capital gains tax."

You set your standards way too low. I turned him off. He was boring and offered little...I thought at the time, who would be a member of his church? How boring to have to listen to him pontificate every Sunday.

Kenneth, I cannot believe you wrote the following: I thought Jeremiah's speech tonight was great. As usual, it was thought provoking. He is a very intelligent man. Wright states that Obama church members secretly agree with him. Obama just cannot come out and say so... On Monday, Wright criticized the U.S. government as imperialist and stood by his suggestion that the United States invented the HIV virus as a means of genocide against minorities. "Based on this Tuskegee experiment and based on what has happened to Africans in this country, I believe our government is capable of doing anything," he said. And perhaps even worse for Obama, Wright suggested that the church congregant secretly concurs. MSNBC "If Senator Obama did not say what he said, he would never get elected," Wright said. "Politicians say what they say and do what they do based on electability, based on sound bites, based on polls." Obama stated flatly that he doesn't share the views of the man who officiated at his wedding, baptized his two daughters and been his pastor for 20 years. The title of Obama's second book, "The Audacity of Hope," came from a Wright sermon. "What became clear to me is that he was presenting a world view that contradicts who I am and what I stand for," Obama said. "And what I think particularly angered me was his suggestion somehow that my previous denunciation of his remarks were somehow political posturing. Anybody who knows me and anybody who knows what I'm about knows that I am about trying to bridge gaps and I see the commonality in all people." In a highly publicized speech last month, Obama sharply condemned Wright's remarks. But he did not leave the church or repudiate the minister himself, who he said was like a family member.

Why were you posting like this on CNN when you loved Wright, thought he was wonderful. April 30th, 2008 10:42 pm ET The discussion following the interview of Michelle Obama and Caroline Kennedy was terrible. Discussing Rev Wright on and on ad nauseum by your reporters. Let go of it.
