The point here is Barack Obama lied about these things at first. It was only after he was caught in his lies, ala Clinton, that he made his "speech on race". Even then, he didn't really condemn the statements or his "crazy uncle" Jeremiah. Barack has shown remarkably poor judgment. Factor in sleazebag Tony Rezko buying land for him, his support of pentagon bomber William Ayers, his membership in a black nationalist racist church for twenty years, and you start to get the measure of a man that is not capable of sound judgment. No bigeee...he'll still get his shot and plenty of people will still vote for him because he is very likable. That is what this process is all about --- VETTING.
