The poster was posting his opinion.. big difference.


And Wright is stirring up much resentment with his words against rich white people. Wright is making his congregation all look like weak victims because of their skin.. what a horrible way to address people.. Such a sad way to preach to them.

Funny. I thought you were talking about Romney. Sounds just like him.

In some respects the President is just a symbol. The Congress has the real power. Obama doesn't exude strength. He has spent the last four years dividing the country. I'll take a guy who "looks the part", acts like an adult, and unites the country over an activist any day of the week.

He claimed using quotes something Rev. wright never said or would say.

Those hearing and understanding the sermon would not have been stirred to hate rich white people, nor would they approach life as victims.

Your picking and choosing when and what he said. Go to you tube and you can fine plenty of things Wright said while President Obama sat and listened. That's unless he had ear muffs on.........Keep spinning, I choose to not stay dizzy...............

Here's a clue for the IQ challenged...

Quotation marks are punctuation marks used in pairs to set off speech, a quotation, a phrase or a word.
Read between the lines "Rich White People" = "Evil White People"..........take any way you like.

The point is Jesus would never have stood and pitted people against each other, this is what our government does. Wright is preaching a false message and it all says the "evil white people"

Oh yes, it would have made the congregation love those rich white people.. the privileged ones.. such a positive message , and Wright ends it with love your enemies... what a joke.. as his animosity is seething as he speaks..
