The point remains that Obama has, now, both denounced the remarks of his pastor and resigned from his Church. At this point, this is absolutely nothing more he can do. The people who aren't going to vote for him because of religion-related reasons should say as such, so the rest of us can stop bothering to reason with them. If someone had qualms about Obama's religious affiliations before he resigned, and they still have problems with it after he resigned, then they're never going to change their mind.

There is still something more he can do.
He can quit making excuses for Trinity United.
Even now....after all of the extreme racism that church has displayed Obama still said his primary reason for leaving that church is because it has become a circus and that the people of that church have been shut-in. After watching all of the videos....watching them jump out of their seats, waving their arms and hollering along with racist rants......it looks more like a zoo then a circus.

Obama told reporters he didn't want his "church experience to be a political circus — I think most American people will understand that, and wouldn't want to subject their church to that, either."
Obama said he also regrets “all the attention that my campaign has visited on” the church.
“We had reporters grabbing church bulletins and calling up the sick and the shut-in,” he said. “That’s just not how people should have to operate in their church.

He's more worried about the quality of life for the racists in that church then whether they are right to be racists in the first place. They operate like a black version of a KKK rally....take out the hoods and burning crosses and add Black Liberation Theology and some R&B music. I think if they got rid of the politics and started teaching the gospel again then people would leave them alone. Right now they are a big-time problem regardless of what they claim they do for the community. Preaching all of that hate week in and week out can't be good for that community.

This is why I believe he agrees with them 100% and he has reluctantly withdrawn his membership. This should have been done as soon as Rev. Wright came to light. For that matter common-decency would have made most people leave that den of hatred and racism after witnessing sermons the likes of which we have been made aware of the past few months. It is too late for him to pass himself off as being anything other then a racist himself. In all honesty....at this point I would settle for Al Gore over this guy after finding out all of this about him because he isn't fit to be President. Al Gore at the very least is fit for the office.
This bed was made years ago by Obama......he's gonna have to sleep in it. The only reason he even had the nerve to attempt a run at the Presidency is because he feels that Democrats and the Mainstream Media would back him up no matter what was discovered about him.....because they don't believe the truth matters anymore.......and to go straight to the point......the MSM and the Democrats in Washington feel we will accept anything.....which is the same as calling us a bunch of dishonest low-lifes.
