Yes, I watched this too and noticed his insincereity. He does have the AUDACITY to believe that he can pull the wool over the American people! I wonder what his true agenda would be if he were President. I want someone that will be focused on the tough issues and not use his powerful position to further his personal agenda. His agenda might well be motivated by his deep seated hatred for white people. Remember when his wife said that it was the first time she was proud to be an American... makes you wonder and if it doesn't then you need to go back to school for some lessons in the school of real life instead of walking around with your head in the clouds dreaming about change... that dream might turn out to be your worst nightmare.

I didn't hear all of the reverend's comments, but the ones I heard didn't really sound that much worse than your average Public Enemy record from back in the '80s. I like Public Enemy even though some of their politics and views were stupid, so I guess I can understand how Obama could like (or have liked) the Reverend even though some of his politics and views are apparently very stupid. But he should certainly disassociate himself from the pastor as much as possible.

Wrong. That would be like saying every Catholic is guilty of pedophilia just because some priests abused boys.

What's going on here is that Obama has mightily upset the Clintons. They mean to destroy him now and they're going after Obama and all his supporters with all the dirt they can.

I guess he is banking on our last several mistakes... GWB & GWB... if they were dumb enough to vote for that guy then this ought to be a cake walk. Oprah likes to say "If someone throws a pebble listen"... translated... if something just doesn't seem right, don't walk but RUN! Also appropriate... "If it seems too good to be true then it probably is." Oprah I think I just heard a boulder drop... what do you advise? Run Cookie... fast as you can! I was even going to vote for this guy if Hillary didn't make it but you can forget it now Obama Llama because you are nothing but a racist in my book.

Also if Obama did agree with what Wright preached, by all means please give me an example from his public life where his actions did demonstrate that he believed what is being spouted by Wright. So far I have seen no form of evidence given, well other than the usual BS and all that comes with it...
The evidence in his public life is that he belongs to a church that spews hatred. He donates money to an organization that preaches America brought aids into society to kill blacks, not God Bless America but GD America. To be associated so closely with this man and this so called Church is the so called BS.

You Clinton supporters will do absolutely anything. It's all out war now isn't it? And you're going to try to destroy Obama and everyone with him.

The Clinton-Carville scorched earth -- if Hillary can't have it, you will burn it all to the ground and have McCain in the White House.

The fact that he gets a little too involved in idol worship is enough for me. Your point about the Catholics is just pointing out how idol worship is ruining the fabric of who we are as humans.

No Clinton supporter here...Die hard Conservative, but I will go on the record and say the best candidate of the three is Hillary. That really hurt.

Fair question

Also, with all of the reporters at CNN, and MSNBC, why did it take Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Hannity, et al to uncover this information?
Too many so called "reporters" gave up their job of reporting when their Obamagasms started.

I thought I heard that these tapes were being sold by the church itself. You would think that an investigative political reporter would have done a very basic examination of a candidate for the highest position in the free world
Realistically, who's going to sort through 20 years of sermons of just one person?

Of course... blame Hillary or better yet "The Clintons" for what Obama's pastor said. After listening and watching Obama tonight I am totally convinced that he is the wrong candidate and to even toy with the idea of Presidency now is "crazy talk". Obama just destroyed himself and the monstrous Hillary had nothing to do with it... of course CNN will probably put their personal spin on it so Obama comes out smelling like roses. Let's have a president who does not have such negative issues like hate and resentment for the white race to deal with... let's have someone that knows the hell what she is doing and can get it done right... the Clinton's can fix the economy and many other things. I think John Edwards would be the better alternative to vice president now.
