#1 That's actually an intelligent view of both of them. I would have just called them dinosaurs...

#2 Gee...I didn't think BO was old enough to remember the 60's. What next, blaming the 80's for doing of cocaine?

#3 It seems anyone can find any excuse to sanction and/or dismiss any verbal abuse of this country; so why should Obama be any different?

#4 I attended church regularly and listened to all the sermons, of course, because I am a devout Christian and Pastor Wright was my spiritual mentor, but I never heard those sermons!

#7 he (Wright) has a lot of the language and the memories and the baggage of those times."

Anyone with more than a passing familiarity with the black activist community knows that this sort of deranged Blame Whitey, Death to AmeriKKKa ranting is standard doctrine. It is what keeps media-darling black politicians like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton from being viable with the non-black electorate. So far, by being an empty suit and only talking about HopeAndChange, Obama has avoided a similar fate. It does not mean he is not a True Believer.

#8 Oh, I get it. It's THE MAN'S! fault the Rev is blaming THE MAN!
Well, geez, who can blame him then? Sorry, to doubt you, Barry. Here's another mulligan...

#9 Wright is a Satanic, hate filled monster. Anyone who defends anything about him other than his 1st Amendment right to be a Satanic, hate filled monster is likely the same.

OB is a huge disappointment to me. I could never vote for him...but at least I thought there was at least one honorable liberal politician I could respect...unlike PelosiReidBoxerFranksKennedy, etc.

#10 I hate fake people. Hillary is a fake, she wants to tax us into submission and make us into a nanny state. She doesn't say that she says she is "progressive". Nobody would dare call Rev Wright a racists but that is exactly what he is proclaiming from the pulpit. By the way I care in what "context" he said "God Damn America" there is NO WAY that kind of talk belongs in any "Church". Mrs. B.O. claimed that hse was misunderstood when she was "Finally proud of America'" She didn't mis-speak she was just passing on what she learned at church. She just could not understand that the rest of America does not feel that way. I will bet you that B.O. was surprised by all the attention given to a man that preaches to his family on Sunday. He believes it and don't anyone think otherwise.

#11 By the end of the campaign, obama's going to be scrubbing his hands raw, muttering "out damned spot!" Missus obama's going to be screeching "Barry! You blew our chance to put whitey in his place!"

#13 This would have made some sense if it had read,

"Barack Obama on Friday blamed fiery 1960s-air conditioning..."

back in the 60s, most of Chicago didn't have air conditioning and some of the window models caught fire when cranked up all the way...

#14 Obama said he did a "good job" navigating local politics without becoming "entangled in some of the traditional problems."

Obama said [his earmark] was ~~to help his wife~~ for a good purpose but added his office should have asked Sen. Dick Durbin to put in for the earmark instead. [insert Roger Rabbit jawdropper here]

"I have a temperament that I think is suitable to the presidency, as well as campaigning for the presidency."

No shit. He's close to mastering teflon. Nothing to see here. Incredible.
