Most all of you Obama supporters would not say one bad thing about Reverend Wright. All of you out there defending him, saying that he never said anything wrong. Now that your candidate has come out and said that his remarks are insulting and inappropriate are you too flip flopping and finally admitting that they were wrong. You may argue that this is only after the last remarks he made but it has come the light that Obama called him before the last speech he made and asked him to stop. I never supported Reverend Wright and many of you gave me and others a hard time because of it. What do you think of it now?

What does Wright have to do with the price of beans and our future. Yeah and Bill denied Monica and repented. Hillary supported Bill and then said oops I guess he wasn't on the phone at 3:00 solving a crisis. We need to hear about their positions and have their positions discussed by experts in the field. Sorta like the gas tax holiday is now being slammed by economist.

Here we go again huh? Nobody ever said that he is on the Ballot. I see you still won't admit to being naive enough to defend him. If I remember right you are one who said that he never said anything wrong and everything was taken out of context. Will it take you 23 years to see your mistake just like it did Obama? Admit you were wrong and move on.

I would love it if each candidate was required to propose a plan for let's say the top 10 issues. List how they would resolve each issue, how they would finance their plans etc. Then have like you have said, a panel of experts evaluate each candidate's plans and put out the panel's opinions. Of course we would then have to make sure that the panel had no bias one way or another. Maybe make the candidate's plans anonymous and include a few bogus proposals/plans in with the real candidate's proposal to keep them honest.

And there in is the problem. You have to dig to find legitimate fodder to choose candidates on but the tabloid info is there for the world to trip over. Instead of dealing with the junk ABC threw at the last debate why didn't they challenge the candidates on their postions as being panned by experts more. WE should be hearing more about how some of their proposals will hu rtus and not about what someone they know said.

No, You said that everything he said was taken out of context by the media, the Republicans and Clinton. I was the one that said he has freedom of speech. There you go again defending your position because you can't admit you were wrong.
