Re: Obama's Incredible Denial Concerning His Pastor

So where is the lying?
Your qoutes are from his speech, made a few days after he was busted. His first statement from the Puffington host he said this :

Quote:
The statements that Rev. Wright made that are the cause of this controversy were not statements I personally heard him preach while I sat in the pews of Trinity or heard him utter in private conversation. When these statements first came to my attention, it was at the beginning of my presidential campaign. I made it clear at the time that I strongly condemned his comments. But because Rev. Wright was on the verge of retirement, and because of my strong links to the Trinity faith community, where I married my wife and where my daughters were baptized, I did not think it appropriate to leave the church.
.Carefully crafted sentences by a Harvard lawyer. this is a classic political dodge - eerily reminiscent of Bill Clinton. "I wasn't in the pews" means he was standing. He knew!!!! He said he didn't. That is a lie. Here is Bubba with Wright

But seriously, either way, it doesn't really matter. Obama knew that Rev Wright was an America hating racist, yet he still attended and supported the church for over twenty years and still named Wright as his "spiritual adviser" for the campaign. He has cited Rev Wright as the inspiration for both of his books...and on and on and on.....
The nicest thing I can say about Obama is that is he demonstrated some seriously BAD JUDGMENT and now he's going to lose plenty of moderate and independent voters because of it.
