Blue Spot

Let's see...it took Hillary one day to respond to the Ferraro remarks and because the Obama supporters were not satisfied, she was forced to denounce the comments again on Thursday. According to Obama, he's known about these remarks for a year (he says this in the clip above). So why has it taken this long for him to denounce his pastor's racial remarks. I think since his camp made such a big issue about the length of time between Hillary's response last week, it's definitely fair to ask the same of Obama.

Also, you're going to tell me that you don't know your church's or pastor's doctrine after 20 years of attendance?!? I mean most pastor's have the same theme or aim that is circular. They're going to eventually keep coming back to the same subjects to reach as many people as possible and spread their beliefs; to reach new people or hammer home old points or to fire up their regulars. Obama knows this man. You're going to let someone baptize your kids without knowing what he stans for? Hard to believe. I can't imagine that Rev. Wright never expressed these beliefs during personal conversations over a 20 year period. I'm not saying that I believe Obama believes what his pastor says in these videos. What I'm questioning is when he knew and his judgment and actions (or in-action) afterward.
