| She is an excellent writer and this is an especially devastating commentary on the Obamessiah, don't y'all agree? The Quality of Obama's Character I grew up on the south side of Chicago in the 1970s and 1980s so I have a bit of local interest in Senator Barack Obama’s race for the White House. Obama and his family live in my old neighborhood, Hyde Park. My siblings and I all attended our local public high school – Kenwood Academy. Obama’s wife Michelle went to Whitney Young High School. The city swimming championship was always held there. My older brothers were members of Kenwood’s swim team. Aside from its swimming pool, I never saw much of Whitney Young. It was a magnet school. But my parents always said that didn’t mean much. All of Chicago’s public schools were basically horrible. Obama’s denunciation of Wright’s bigotry amounts to too little too late. The time to stand up to him wasn’t now, when his association with Wright is sinking his hopes for the White House. The time to have stood up to Wright was when Obama was just another member of his church. If he truly believes in what he says he believes, he should have walked out of Wright’s church or grabbed Wright’s microphone and told his fellow churchgoers that Wright was wrong and that they mustn’t hate. In twenty years of attending Wright’s church, why didn’t Obama once stand before his fellow church members and tell them that they mustn’t hate their country and their fellow Americans? The fact that he didn’t, and the fact that he upheld this man until just a few months ago as his spiritual mentor and still refuses to condemn him and his deeply flawed character tells me everything I need to know about Barack Obama. I think that he is an opportunistic, weak man. I hope and pray that he doesn’t become President. |

| #4 also the obama kids have attended that Church, their whole lives The kids may not be in the main service for Wirght's sermon but on the other hand there may be kiddie oriented 'hate-whitey' classes |

| #3 BHO did more than just prop this racist up...he sought him out. Specifically, to preside over his wedding, and to babtise his children. No, Rev. Wright was Obama's first and only choice, and therefore he is every bit the racist of Herr Wright. |

| #2 Excellent. Although, she almost but not quite nails Obama's problem by saying, It can be argued that there is a difference between how I reacted to black bigotry and how he reacted to black bigotry because I was an outsider and he was an insider. I wasnÂ’t trying to become a member of the black community. But Obama wasn't an insider and going along with it was his way of fitting in - trying to become an insider. Glick is right. It speaks volumes to his character that he went along with things he knew to be wrong, or worse agreed with. |

| #1 July 22, 2007, Obama's chruch reprinted an article in its bulletin authored by Hamas terrorist Mousa Abu Marzook. The first thing that Obama wants to do as the US President is meet with America's enemies. No doubt because he is just as anti-American and has a bleeding heart for anti_American terrorists as his church of 20 years. |
