X-Post from GPD HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY, BARACK

In his 1993 memoir "Dreams from My Father," Obama recounts in vivid detail his first meeting with Wright in 1985. The pastor warned the community activist that getting involved with Trinity might turn off other black clergy because of the church's radical reputation.

When Obama sought his own church community, he felt increasingly at home at Trinity. Before leaving for Harvard Law School in 1988, he responded to one of Wright's altar calls and declared a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Later he would base his 2004 keynote speech to the Democratic National Convention on a Wright sermon called "Audacity to Hope," --also the inspiration for Obama's second memoir, "The Audacity of Hope."

Though Wright and Obama do not often talk one-on-one often, the senator does check with his pastor before making any bold political moves.

Last fall, Obama approached Wright to broach the possibility of running for president. Wright cautioned Obama not to let politics change him, but he also encouraged Obama, win or lose.

Yeah right, he didn't know about the church's radical reputation. No he never took political advice. Yeah right.

How can you go to a church for 20 years and not see what is going on. This is seen in Mrs. O too. When Axelrod played the race card one time too many the Clinton's fought back. Ferraro is right when she said that he had played his last race card(not exact quote).

If he did not know what Wright was
about after a 20 year friendship, what
does that say about his reasoning and
deductive skills? If he cannot see this
in 20 years, how can he see something in
the global society that effects the US?
Will he 'believe' these world leaders when
they play him, like Putin did chimpy?

O's circular explanation is laughable and
condemns his own thinking and reasoning abilities
in the process.
