Reply #101: Obama is just another politician [View All]

[WoodyM]

who used his church as long as it was useful to advance his career in Illinois politics. He was not going to throw those 9K votes away. When they were no longer useful or perhaps even hurting him he serially threw them away. First, there was his grandmother, who he implied was racist as she was just like other white people in that she feared when a black man approached on the street. Then there was his pastor who was his friend and mentor. And he did sit and in the church and listen to those sermons. He said at first he had never heard them until a video showed him sitting in audience. He said the preacher was just a crazy uncle that said some things that he did not agree with. But as more came out he renounced him and thru him under the bus. Now that such a sermon, if that is what you can call it, was preached by the priest and the reception it had with the listeners he had to resign and throw his church under the bus.
After my first choice dropped out. Clinton was not, by far, my first choice. Obama was, but as I watched Obama’s public appearances and realized that although he was an excellent orator, he could not explain his own policies in detail. He had no real grasp of what he wanted to do. Just chanting of slogans such as “Change We Can Believe In.” (whatever that means, perhaps you could explain it to me) It came to look like a cross between a cult and a pep rally for the big rivalry game. And so many of Obama’s supporters looked down on any one who did not support him. They saw and expressed the feelings that those dumb, old working people just were not smart enough to see how great Obama was. Do they not realize Obama will have to have those people to win in GE?
