    Oh REALLLLLLYYY??

    http://www.nypost.com/seven/05302008/news/nationalnews/more_holy_mess_for_obama_113146.htm

    A Chicago pastor and spiritual adviser of Barack Obama mocked Hillary Rodham Clinton from the pulpit of the Illinois senator's church - saying her famous tearing-up moment was fueled by self-pitying feelings of "I'm white! I'm entitled! There's a black man stealing my show."

    Embarrasing myself?

    It's Obama that is being embarrased! Keep drinking that Obama Kool-aid!

    Is this Obama's claim or NY Post's claim?

    I wish the guy wouldn't have gone to the race issue, but hillary did have a since of entitlement, com'on we all know. anyway, if you watched this and wasn't amused, you need to lighten up. not about the "white" comments, but the guy was just a character in general.

    It's CNN, ABC, Washinton Post, all the media outlets.

    No, it isn't. They all mention the loose connections, but they don't call him a spiritual advisor.

    And even if they did, I still fail to see anything he said that was out of line.

    Yes, there is that point as well. The story is so unimportant on any number of levels.

    It's a case of people hoping lightning will strike twice, so now they are throwing fire flies out, and hoping to fool people.

    A liberal blog has a whole laundry list of affiliations with this pastor and Obama. So that's a pretty solid indication that your own side owns up to it. The argument that this guy is unrelated just does not hold.

    ...lots more to come from Trinity, folks. A lot more.

    But we are speaking to deaf ears. They are too far gone with the Obama punch.

    Nah, we just prefer to vote on issues. What was it that your guy said? ... the fool can't be fooled again!

    What guy? Yet it's his character and the people he surrounds himself with, that influences his judgment and policy. You believe everything he says now. We'll see how his policies/issues change once he gets into office.

    Well, I would hope that he uses the same pragmatic approach to governance that you espoused early in your quest for a presidential candidate.

    Although without the careening spiral descent into dogmatic syllogism.

    Failing to get riled up about meaningless propaganda disguised as an issue, has nothing to do with drinking anything.

    Come back when there is something newsworthy to report on.

    It's not really very offensive(I actually thought he was funny). But it again puts the spotlight on race and makes Barack Obama out to be a black candidate for President, and that won't help him with white voters.
