When Barack Obama is questioned about his lack of “political experience” or “legislative achievements” he is quick to say that he makes and will make the “Correct” decisions that will face him. He implies that he HAS SUPERIOR JUDGEMENT compared to the other Presidential Candidates.
The past couple of days the media has been starting to cover some of the sermon’s of Barack Obama’s pastor and spiritual mentor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, from the Trinity United Church of Christ. Some of Rev. Wright’s views are extreme but Barack Obama says that he does not agree with everything Rev. Wright says ….

Wright can be seen questioning America’s role in the spreading of the HIV virus that leads to AIDS. In another speech, made in the days after 9/11, he suggested that American foreign policy invited the terror attacks.
“We bombed Hiroshima. We bombed Nagasaki. And we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon and we never batted an eye,” Wright said.
“We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because of stuff we have done overseas is now brought back into our own backyard. America is chickens coming home to roost.”
The pastor also said: “The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color. The government lied.”
Additional comments by Rev. Wright:
Prior to his retirement last month, Wright delivered commentary from the pulpit in which he praised Obama, as well as remarks focusing on the racial divide between Obama and Clinton.
“There is a man here who can take this country in a new direction,” Wright said during his Jan. 13 sermon.
During a Christmas sermon, Wright tried to compare Obama’s upbringing to Jesus at the hands of the Romans.
“Barack knows what it means living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people,” Wright said. “Hillary would never know that.
“Hillary ain’t never been called a nigger. Hillary has never had a people defined as a non-person.”
In a Jan. 13 sermon, Wright said:
“Hillary is married to Bill, and Bill has been good to us. No he ain’t! Bill did us, just like he did Monica Lewinsky. He was riding dirty.”

Late Thursday, the Obama campaign said it has distanced itself from certain comments made by the pastor. But it did not fully repudiate Wright himself — as some critics have called for.
“Senator Obama has said before that he profoundly disagrees with some of the statements and positions of Reverend Wright, who has preached his last sermon as pastor at the church,” Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said. “Senator Obama deplores divisive statements whether they come from his supporters, the supporters of his opponent, talk radio, or anywhere else.”
My question for Barack Obama- You have been a member of Rev. Wright’s church for 20 years. If these comments are typical ones Rev Wright has espoused for 20 years, how can you say that you do not agree with all of his divisive attitudes.
If I was a member of a church that expressed these views, I would not stay at that church I would go elsewhere!. Why do you overlook those views and remain as a member? If this is indicative of your “Superior Judgment” it is not very wise.
I also have read that Rev. Jeremiah Wright holds a position on your campaign or as a campaign advisor. If this is the case, you need to rethink his place with your campaign. Do you really reject his extreme views or do you uphold his views?
