Those of you unconcerned about Wright or “not willing to pass judgement” or pointing out other religious leaders linked to candidates (none who were that candidate’s PASTOR for 20 years!) are all basically missing the point. And this goes along with the Ayers relationship, and Rezko, too…

It’s about JUDGEMENT and CHARACTER…(or the lack there of…)

Sure, if you want to look at ONLY what the man SAYS , and NOT who he associates with or what he has done (or more precisely NOT done!) then I suppose you will decide he seems pretty cool and has some appeal for change (whatever kind, does it matter?) and you may well vote for him…

But look behyond the words in his speeches and prepared remarks…and beyond the charisma and sheen of a “new” paradigm… and if you take a critical look at his CHARACTER AND JUDGEMENT…it doesn’t come up to what we need in a President.

ALL the candidates have weaknesses and shortcomings, but what Obama lacks can’t be learned on the job…or if it is, we’re ALL in for a bumby ride!
