Not to mention that joining the military is a CHOICE and they weren't sent there via a draft. I know it's difficult for people like Wright to accept but when you KNOWINGLY AND WILLINGLY join the military, you may be called upon to fight.  I suppose that because he makes his living screaming about racism, he believes that African-Americans only should be able to join the military, receive training and education, and then be given the choice of whether to fight in a war or not?

Maybe he thinks he's talking about Vietnam? He probably said the same thing except for the oil part.

Newsmax, faced with mounting evidence that their story of Obama being in church on July 22nd of last year is false, are now claiming that maybe their reporter Ronald Kessler got the date wrong. Yeah sure, no matter what you think of Barack Obama, Newsmax is just not a credible news source.

We'll see, the Rasmussen Tracking poll for this morning shows, that although Obama's negatives have increased (50%) he still trails Hillary(52%) in that area. He also still leads overall nationally 46%-44%.

Yes, as Colbert says: "I can't prove it--but I can say it!"
Meanwhile, a suicide bomber has killed 39 (broken link) in our trillion dollar war in Iraq, a huge debt and the stock market is nuts.
But hey--let's get back to Obama's wacky ex-pastor! That's the real damage!

Hard to imagine that the Obamas weren't in church on Christmas. Even the nominal P and L (poinsettia and lilies) Christians attend on Christmas and that's the date of one of Wright's biggest rants.
