Do you think that if there had been many more of them, we wouldn't be subjected to them 80 times a day, as we've been subjected to the two we know about? Is there some reason to believe that the news agencies have decided to keep the other ones "under wraps?" This is a church that has its sermons videoed weekly. Are all the other ones just 'missing?' pfffffffffft

Obama had disavowed himself of Wright's words - and today has said, in no uncertain terms, that Wright's statements were divisive, destructive and the antithesis of what Obama stands for. Jesus. What more can the guy DO? He can't go shoot the ****er.

My minister holds many political stands which I do not agree with him on (he actually supported publicly our city becoming a sanctuary city). That doesn't mean that he's not a spiritual leader of knowledge and compassion. I can certainly understand why Obama wouldn't leave his church (a pretty big deal in my opinion) because of the political stance of his pastor.
