At best, BHO joined this church to get the street cred he needed to enter black Chicago politics, making him a phoney. At worst, Wright really is his spiritual (and political?) mentor – BHO conspicously copies Wright’s speaking style and drew the title of his latest book from one of Wright’s sermons. He gave large sums of money to the church. He took his children there and exposed them to this hateful rhetoric.

And now he is supposed to be the “post racial” candidate that can heal the divides and bring us all together? The Un-Jesse Jackson, the Non-Al Sharpton? Please – pull the other leg. He deliberately steeped himself and his family in this hate-America, hate-Whitey, hate the Jew crap, despite the fact that America has been damned good to him and his family. Despite the fact that his the white side of his family raised him when his black, polygamous father went back to Africa?

Maybe he feels guilty for being half-white and so sucessful? Maybe he resents his white family because he didn’t look like them? I don’t know, and don’t really care, but am really sure I want him nowhere near the presidency – Hillary may be an emotionless power-hungry automaton, but she’s preferable to this guy – whoever he really is.
