Barak Obama leaves his church of twenty years in the wake of story after story of hateful racist rhetoric from the church's pastor, Obama's spiritual advisor, have popped up in the media. Here's the money quote from the messiah:
“I’m not denouncing the church, and I’m not interested in people who want me to denounce the church . . . it’s not a church worthy of denouncing.”
This guy is a new version of Bill Clinton, dumping anyone who gets in his way of being elected. But that quote, which I'm sure he will denounce in time, is one of the most brutal brush offs in recent memory. Even Billy Jeff had more tactful ways off scraping people off.
Obama's campaigned on the premise that he's real, not a typical politician, but he's shown himself to be just that: a pandering, oportunistic politician. And a one man gaffe machine as well. How Democrats are voting for this guy over Hillary is beyond me.

Why don't you try to use legitimate issues in a Campaign that has several of them. Is your argument for McCain so weak as to fall into the same old political games of ad hominem?
Barak Obama is quite possibly the most unqualified person to ever run for President. He has accomplished nothing in his couple of years in the Senate. He has shown no leadership on any issue and has, in fact, made every effort to avoid taking any stance, via not voting, on controversial issues.
His campaign pledges to gut the military, increase entitlement spending by billions, and meet unconditionally with each and every terrorist sponsoring country in the world will leave our country economically depressed and militarily impotent.
Need an example of his political pandering? His recent speech before AIPAC, where he expressed support for Israel in no uncertain terms. Then as soon as the Palestinians bitched, he completely backtracked on his pledges to Israel.
I disagree with John McCain on many issues, but he has actually shown the ability to lead, to work bi-partisanly, to get things done, and understands the nature of the world we live in.
Barak Obama's entire campaign is "Vote for me, I'm different." But just being different isn't enough. Even Hillary said it in her campaign, this is no time for "on the job training," we need a president with a vision and the skills to implement that vision. That person isn't Barak Obama.
