Comment: The only way for Barack Hussein Obama to win this Presidency is using the super dream ticket: Barack Hussein Obama - Osama Binladen. This super dream ticket will CHANGE the world forever. CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN. YES WE CAN !!!
Obama - Binladen '08
Comment: avyrak et al you're not going to be happy to know that Wright's church doesn't have an American flag in it. It has a Pan-African flag. Might explain why Barack doesn't honor the American flag. Who is this guy? Why has he gotten this far?
Comment: i voted for obama. i saw that yesterday too and im starting to wonder which is why im in here. i agree with what you guys saw. he's not telling the truth but i dont know why. what is this Rezko and Hamas and the other stuff? you all seem like normal people with good arguments. Hello Editor can you report on Rezko and Hamas and Obamas views on Jews so I can learn some more? I've seen it on other blogs like the Rezkowatch site but I don't get it. Why isn't CNN and MSNBC talking about this stuff? I already knew about his name being Barry. How is that supposed to help voters make up their minds? Now I'm wondering if I made the wrong vote because I believed his words of change. Not looking so good now. Seems like a regular old politician with a crazy old uncle who says unAmerican things. Hey I'm a fan but that is a little too much for me. My cousin is in Iraq and he told me to vote for Obama but now he's pissed. My cousin is a Marine too. He said the pastor broke the code of the Marines. He said he doesn't want Obama to be his commander in chief. That's kinda sad that Joey has to worry about that over there. He says its bad enough that non-Americans hate us and then the president's pastor of twenty years curses the USA. I think its sad because Joey is only 19. Why should he have to worry about that too? Thats why I have to find these things out. Joey is brave and fighting for all of us. He says its not up to him to decide if the war is right or wrong. He has to fight honorably for all of us. Im kind of sad now. Bye.
Comment: You're right about his face. My four-year-old saw Rev. Wright ranting and said to me, Mommie why is the man yelling in Church? We're not supposed to be mad at each other. Jesus loves all of us together. Can't say it any better.
Comment: Do have to give him props for saying the race wasn't dirty and that Hillary and himself don't have the animosity - just the surrogates. And that all will be well after the candidate is decided. I'm not sure about that. I won't have a single problem if the media just decided to properly vet him. Kind of late now. Had they, all of this would have come to light a year ago. Now I wonder what we will find out in another year.
Comment:
Hi Miss Etta Mae Robinson. Then I'm not the only one who saw through Barack Obama yesterday on The View. He came across as smarmy and didn't even answer the questions. He wouldn't look at Elizabeth and put his hand out to shut her up like he did to Hillary at the last debate. Then he tried to chat up Joy like he was at a bar and wouldn't look Whoopi in the eye. Body language doesn't lie. The best part was where Barbra Walters asked him about his comments on Imus. Obama had said that he would summarily fire anyone who made such racist hateful comments. McCarthy? Monster? N word?
He admits to knowing Wright's statements (new lingo yesterday: "some" of them) and then appoints Wright to the African American Spiritual Leadership Council. Instead of firing, he hired him. Obama: say one thing do another. And now he says he wouldn't go back to the church if Wright hadn't retired...and if Wright hadn't acknowledged his hateful comments and if...are we supposed to be ignorant?
He made sure to point out that the offensive statements were the un-American ones. Busted. The more he keeps on, the more he tells the truth through his own lies. I will say, it was heartening not to see him surrounded by American flags.
Elizabeth asked him if it was a matter of judgment - he went off on a tangent.
Elizabeth asked him if he is still friends with Wright - another tangent.
Whoopi asked him the first three things he would do when he got into office. Economy wasn't one of them.
Elizabeth asked him and it was like an Oprah light bulb moment. Oh! Where???s my teleprompter.
I'm sorry, getting healthcare is not more important than keeping my job. If he's not going to make sure I keep mine, I'm not voting to give him one.
I saw a great deal of who Obama really is inside. He was transparent for once. Hard to lie surrounded by five intelligent, well-informed, well-spoken, non-mesmerized women. Several times the camera showed Barbra and Whoopi looking down at their cards out of boredom. How was this supposed to help Obama? I think it showed how easily he gets rattled. Even his attempt at humor sunk.
When Joy asked him if he could handle attacks, he said the best way was to answer "honestly, swiftly, forcefully and truthfully". Has to remind himself about the truthful part. And so, why is still having to deal with Wright? First he denies, then he lies, then he objects, then he vehemently disagrees, then Wright "retires" from his advisory post and now he wouldn't go back. Swift? Honest? Forceful? Truthful? This would make wonderful entertainment if my life and livelihood and that of my fellow citizens (and the oppressed women in the world) weren't at stake.
The true character of a man is revealed when he is among women who are his elders. I saw his yesterday. Miss Robinson, I can't put it better than you did: "And I have been around long enough to know that a man who says he is somebody he isn't - isn't about to say who he rea
Comment: I agree. But what got us was when Elizabeth was praising him about his 2004 speech, he cut her off and looked the other way and said all high and mighty and said, "That WAS a pretty good speech." Smug. Words. Tired of words. Wasn't a very good idea in a group of alpha females. All of us not-so-alphas here at work erupted when he did that! Talk about busted. You don't cut off any of your female hosts at home or at work, especially Barbra Walters, when 57% of the voting public will be women. Hello. Hugo Chavez had better manners than to do that. Obama should go back into hiding if he wants to pull this off. He definitely should not be questioned by adult women anymore...way to obvious. He tried everything. Humor, charm, touching, quoting Lincoln (This is getting old. On a talk show? Who is he talking to? Harvard law students? We were cracking up. He should starting quoting Washington instead, "I will not tell a lie.") and then there's those digressions of future dreams about people coming together etc etc etc. He was even in tune with the audience.
Just tell us you're going to respect us enough to help us keep our jobs. Then we can come together as employer and employee. You???d be our boss, but we???d be your employer. Perfect.
Just curious...are any of your Secret Service women? Cuz they coulda really protected you yesterday!
Comment: Ha-ha. Right on! I got a bad vibe too. Kinda used car salesman. Are you a doctor or something? Because you laid it all out visually. Like you explained what I was seeing. Freaky. Why don't you keep reporting about that body language thing? It makes it perfectly clear. Thanks scorch!
Comment: You know I saw The View yesterday too, but I didn't see what you guys SAW. I just got the vibe. So I actually went back and watched the thing over and I was amazed at what was really there. How could I have missed all that. Guess I've been mesmerized for a year. You're right about him being surrounded by just women. He looked afraid of Barbra. I get what you mean about the question. When he said that about Imus, she should have followed up with then why did you hire/appoint Rev. Wright knowing about his hateful words. Pow to the kisser. Ok so now what? Nothing is going to change. He is still going to be the nominee. Talk about buyers remorse! I got swayed by the sales pitch. Guess that's why I've got two ex-husbands. Me of all should have recognized the "frippery". And smarmy is a good word. Had to look them both up. So I've learned to trust my vibe and now you've pointed out how to actually see it. There's no reason for me to be conned by another man. Though I gotta say I bought it all. I should have just looked at his father's background with women. Oh why did I think he was any different than any man? Let alone a new type of politician? Now what?
Comment: Now what? We're SOL if you catch my drift. My wife is a brilliant woman. She is an economist at a prestigious Jesuit University. She can tell when I lie, our children lie and when our grandchildren lie. She admits Sen Obama has no idea what to do about the economy and that his judgment is not good. She has expressed doubts about his character and still she can't stop herself from believing him. We have had debates and she says Sen Clinton is the best qualified of all three, but she is hypnotized or something. She knows she is going against her better judgment and can't tell me why.
It is nice to hear you views. I'm curious what The View showed. We are going to watch it together tonight. I will have to report back. I'm not sure I will see the things you saw, but I know when a man lies to a woman to her face. You are absolutely right about the body language giving it away. I am a policeman and my partner is a woman. I see it everyday. Thank you all for the heads up.
Comment: yeah how was his being on the view supposed to help. he sounded like he always does except he squirmed instead of hid behind a podium. I'm with you on the American flag bit. Does he think we're dummies.All it says to me is that he knew it was wrong. AND he doubts his own patriotism by adding the flags to the mix. Say what you want about Hillary. There is absolutely no doubt about her love and passion for our country and her sincere desire to help everyone. Including me. I believe that. All that matters. I don't have any idea what Obama believes about anything. We see what the people around him think and do like Rezko and Wright. We see how not above the fray his advisers are. We hear a civil rights speech but not a presidential this is what i will be doing exactly so you can hold me accountable type speech. I think he will make a great civil rights leader. President, no way. It would be a huge mistake. One I keep looking him in the eye and expecting him to say out loud. His face gives it away, as do his lies. Does he realize that every lie will eventually be found out and his daughters will be the ones having to apologize and make sense of them. Pretty sad. What he does as a man, father, congregation member is his own business. What he does as a presidential candidate is mine and he is not being truthful with me. I am sorry that Barbra Walters didn't do her usual type interview. She asked the right question but did not follow it up. She had a chance. That disappointed me the most. I already knew he is not who he pretends to be. I'm a Chicagoan. I know how politics work. He is anything but honest, transparent and straight talking. His judgment has been clear to everyone, whether people chose to acknowledge it is up to them. What I can't understand is how so many people of all ages are buying it. I can't at all. But then again I don't understand how people fall for those Nigerian internet scams. Some people see a con, some don't and some chose to ignore it and let other people get conned. I am not conned. The Republicans are not conned. What will happen between now and November? What will come up next in the Rezko trial? What else has Wright said? What else is there? No one wants to know, except those of us who aren't buying it.
Comment: Now ladies you weren't the only ones feeling his vibe. I was too and he is a slick one. I wonder how he'd feel sitting next to some of his black brothers who don't have wives. Think it would make him even more uncomfortable. We know a lying man when we see one. Now that Keith Boykin should be ashamed of himself. Who had the first meeting of gay and lesbian brothers and sisters with a president? And just who was that president? You think Obama going do that for us? Why don't you use your airtime and do us black MSM some good. Use your pretty mouth to ask the hard questions. You want to know about Obama? Read our sister Reverend Irene Monroe's words in the Windy City Times. Then tell me who'd be best for us?

Comment: The viewers are TIRED of the media TRYING TO DERAIL Senator Obama's election with sound bits from Rev Wright. The cable news MSNBC, CNN and OF COURSE FOX NEWS are AT IT AGAIN, running yet more negative sound bits about Rev. Wright....taken now bits out of the church bulletin !!! All of out of context, like Rev. Wright's sermons. Invite Trinity to defend itself. How dare you go thorough for "hours" looking for DIRT on Rev. Wright and Senator Obama via the church's literature and sermons. WE MUST DEMAND better journalism. The media is INTENT on carrying out a high-tech lynching of Senator Obama. YOU will stop at nothing to prevent a qualified black man from becoming president. The media and Hillary are destroying the Democratic party, while McCain [who is too mentally old] to run for president gets a free pass. The elders of the party should stop the election and appoint Senator Obama. And......
Senator Obama should explain why he stayed for 20 years at the church. A white nominee, President Carter went to a church that did not allow Black people to join and hardly ANYTHING by the media was SAID. THIS is pure rascism at its best !!!
Sallye Quinn was EXCELLENT. She said many minister, Graham and Jackson have made anti-semantic statements and have advised presidents. Senator Obama has stated he does not agree with all said from those minister. WHAT DO YOU WANT THE MAN TO DO!?!?!? Those are the words of ministers NOT Senator Obama's. Please talk about Senator Obama's policy on the economy, war and conservation.
WE ARE SICK - SICK - SICK of the this High Tech Lynching of Senator of Obama. We DO NOT WANT TO SEE or HEAR ANYTHING ELSE by the media on Rev. Wright and his church, unless coming from the elders of the church.
If not, we will begin a Boycott and demand MSNBS be taken off the air.
Comment: Why are you SHOUTING? Clearly you are clueless. Have you even been reading Newsweek and/or watching the rest of the Media? They are so pro-Obama it's crazy. What they are now reporting on has been around and known to Hillary supporters for a long while. It's shocking to me that they even mentioned any of it. Why do you show such desperation? Isn't your candidate ahead? Isn't there no possibly way Hillary can win? Why is it that you Obama supporters, including Leahy out of VT come out screaming for Hillary to get out? Why should you even care if your candidate is so well-suited? You wouldn't be SHOUTING unless you thought she COULD win. Remember the media screaming for Hillary to get out before OH/TX? Why? Rezko (do you know who he is?) trial started that Monday. And what did the voters say?
This election isn't about Obama supporter's whining or the obvious media bias. Hello, elzora, what media have you been watching? Not a single pundit is pro-Hillary, so why do you want MSNBC off the air? Educate yourself. Vote on reason not emotion. One day you will see how Obama's has conned all of you. Unfortunately, it will be over the Palestinians and the Israelis. Do you even know who Hamas is? What America's views are? Didn't think so.
Comment: My dear child, take a deep breath. You don't know what it is like to be black. You certainly would not be using the "L" word in regards to a black man.
The argument goes to the fact that Mr. Obama admits the statements found are highly offensive. And each time more are found, he vehemently denounces them. Thus, in the mind of voters, it appears Mr. Obama, does not know what Mr. Wright preaches, although they have known each other two decades.
It is a matter of judgment.
Mr. Obama and Mr. Wright can listen/say whatever they wish - but not as a presidential candidate. Mr. Obama has not summarily denounced Mr. Wright (again, his choice), and until he does so, any and all of Mr. Wright's statements are fair game.
What does Mr. Obama agree with? What does he denounce?
This is the heart of the problem.
As Mr. Morgenstern wrote below, Mr. Obama's views on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict are non-negotiable. Israel is our ally. Hamas is a known terrorist group and their vile words were printed in Mr. Wright's bulletin - akin to reprinting Osama Bin Laden's call to jihad.
Mr. Wright has the choice. Mr. Obama has a choice. But Mr. Obama the presidential candidate has no choice. Period.
As a senior citizen and member of a Baptist congregation for almost fifty years, I am finding it increasingly more difficult to believe that Mr. Obama was not aware of Mr. Wright's views, in toto.
Why must we, Mr. Obama's future employers, have to keep wondering his views? What he will do in the future?
Mr. Obama's selling point, by his own making, is that he has good judgment. Clearly, he has not exercised it with Mr. Wright.
This is far past religious posturing, salvation and Biblical preaching. This goes to the heart of who Mr. Obama is - his morals, his truths, his honesty. Mr. Wright, in 2006, told the media (Chicago Tribune) that Mr. Obama would have to separate from him because of his (Wright's) views. He hasn't. Simple as that.
It begs the question, why?
As someone who has visited multi-denominational churches, it says to me that Mr. Obama was not only aware of Mr. Wright's teachings, but that he finds them not despicable enough to completely distance himself from them. Until he does so, every little word of Mr. Wright's is fair game.
Mr. Obama has shown me that he is not who he says he is. He says he is honest and transparent. And yet, he just released his IRS and campaign financing records and he has known Mr. Wright and Mr. Rezko for twenty years. Whether or not the latter are found guilty of anything has no bearing. Mr. Obama showed poor judgment.
Mr. Obama is not who he portrays himself to be. Fine. He just needs to come out and admit that his judgment was poor and that he was being deceptive.
And I have been around long enough to know that a man who says he is somebody he isn't - isn't about to say who he really is.
Sincerely,
Etta Mae Robinson
Comment: Dear Editor Meacham:
Would you please explain to me why NEWSWEEK has not investigated Mr. Obama's true position on Palestine and Israel? His pastor's views are clear. Louis Farrakhan's views are clear. New Black Panther Party's are clear. Hamas leader, Marzook's are most definitely clear. All of them are affiliated with pastor Wright - and all but Hamas were on Mr. Obama's website as endorsements. Why aren't you pressing him or at least investigating it?
I am ashamed of you.
And please, no more articles by folks who are defending Pastor Wright by trying to put his words in context. There is no context to hate. No matter what vile words were being spewed, his purple face was the embodiment of hate.
Do you know the origin of amerikkka? It wasn't from Wright, it was from a convicted Black Panther member jailed for murder of a Sheriff's deputy.
Please be responsible in your reporting. Please ask Mr. Obama pointed questions. He has still not separated himself from Wright. My community is quite worried.
Thank you,
Hymie Morgenstern
Comment: Good way to put it Hymie. It didn't matter if Wright was speaking English. His face was pure hate and it was clear who it was directed at. Roland Martin spends 2K words trying to frame Wright's comments. Why my Russian neighbor tells me to **** off and that I'm a ****** I don't need a translator. Hate is hate.
Comment: I was thinking about the same thing. The neighbor man across the street can't speak because he had a stroke but he points to my American flag and grinds his foot into the ground. This man living in America wants to destroy the flag. Why are you living here then? What is so bad? Don't we have enough foreign enemies? We can't solve anything with hate of any sort. Look at the terrorists. The hate doesn't get any blinder. How is demeaning our country to make it better? Blaming ourselves for being attacked by terrorists. What kind of mind even thinks this? No matter where he grew up. Especially an ex-Marine. My WWII veteran father would have been disgusted. Those who made it back were to respect those who died. Forever. And they were to never disgrace their country because it would disgrace the men who died for it. That's what my dad said a Marine was.
What Wright said didn't pop out in the heat of the moment. I can't get over that coming from a man of God speaking about Jesus. No. Never.
And now every time I see my neighbor man grind his heel into the ground with his fist up pointing at my flag and face red, I hear Wright's words. I wish I had never heard them.
What has this world come to that people are making excuses for this. Any other candidate would have been gone by now. When I saw the American flag being burned in Kosovo, I was angry. When I see an American flag now I hear Wright's words. When I see the American flag behind Obama, I am outraged at the farce. Obama doesn't even respect the flag during the National Anthem. President of the United States? Headshake.
Comment: Senator Obama's Presidential Campaign = More votes, more delegates, more states, and more Republicans and Independents joining Democrats in the general election for a United States of America. Stand for change.
Comment: KWAME KILPATRICK, indicted Detroit mayor has also graced the cover of REVEREND WRIGHTs TRUMPET.
KILPATRICK also had a reception for IRAQI businessman AUCHI???REZKO???s business associate.
http://www.gmhsa.com/news/Illinois_visit.htm
KILPATRICK (3-24-08 indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice) in regards to the investigation surrounding his sexually explicit text messages (14,000 messages) with his chief of staff, Christine Beatty, said on March 11, 2008,
QUOTE:..And finally, and this may be the most talked-about part of this speech after laying out all of that, but I feel that I cannot leave this auditorium with my wife and my sons sitting there without addressing this issue. In the past 30 days I've been called a *** more than anytime in my entire life. In the past three days I've received more death threats than I have in my entire administration. I've heard these words before but I've never heard people say them about my wife and children. I have to say this because it's very personal to me. I don't believe that a Nielsen rating is worth the life of my children or your children. This unethical, illegal lynch mob mentality has to stop. And it's seriously time. We've never been here before. And I don't care if they cut the TV off. We've never been in a situation like this before. Where you can say anything, do anything, have no facts, no research, no nothing and you can launch a hate-driven bigoted assault on a family. I humbly ask members of the council, I humbly ask the business community, I humbly ask the religious community, I humbly ask the brothers and sisters of the city of Detroit - I humbly ask that we say 'no more' together. END QUOTE
Former Kilpatrick political adviser Sam Riddle, labeled the address a race-baiting speech. QUOTE: It's an act of desperation to use the N-word, said Riddle. He's attempting to regain his base of support by playing the race card. He's gone to that well one too many times. END QUOTE
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwame_Kilpatrick
I do believe that WRIGHTs fellow TRUMPET cover, Sen. OBAMA should take the same advice. Or at least come out and firmly, unequivocally denounce another cover, LOUIS FARRAKHAN. And perhaps state his views on HAMAS Palestine and Israel, since we already know how WRIGHT and FARRKHAN feel.
Interesting footnote: both MEEKS and KILPATRICK have been vocal about taking the N word out of the dictionary and general parlance.
REV WRIGHT seems to think it???s just fine in reference to Senator Clinton.
Who continues to bring up the race issue? Who keeps using the race card?
Comment: This is equally disturbing. Why do black people, men of God use the N word. Meeks thinks it's a term of endearment. I don't get any of this. A word if inherently evil is evil no matter who uses it. This is all very disturbing. And the excuse that Wright is getting death threats is pure hogwash. Obama's camp knows he would just go off again and that's why he's not speaking. Just like he wasnt allowed to lead prayers on the day of Obama's announcement to run for president. Let alone that they're giving him an award. Bet the Bible belt is loving that. This is all such madness. Obama admitted he knew in 2/07 about those comments of Wrights. Whether he wants to say *some* now or not. He showed good judgment not letting him lead the prayer. But then he continues to go back to that church with his young children and goes so far as to name Wright to a religious committee. And Obama posts Wright's endorsement front and center on his website. Now Wright has been removed. This is his judgment in '08. Judgment that he was forced into making. Nine months from taking office. This is utterly unreal. I don't have any idea what his judgment is like about the issues since he never gives me specifics. I know what Hillary is going to do. She has laid it out. NOW. She is willing to be held to her word. We just found that out. He keeps telling us his words are true when they are everything but. Some frippery with racial overtones. The best way to unite the country what is this White America and Black America? Where does this leave me as a second generation Puerto Rican? I only hear this separation form a man who tells me he's going to bring us together. What about me. Bring us together by getting us jobs, keeping our jobs, keeping our homes that our grandparents fought hard to get. Bring us together with plans not lofty abstractions. I don't trust you to pick the right people around you. I trust Hillary by herself and I know she will pick the right people. She's already got the military advisers behind her. Please people wake up and realize that this man will be our next president. He won't be talking about bringing people together he will be charged with the duty to do so. IN ACTIONS. I don't get it. But I will be allowed to vote. And then I will continue to pray. God Bless America. The land that gave my grandparents a chance at something better. I hope I can say the same to my grandchildren.
Comment: I would like to know where are the pictures of Obama's mom? We have his dad, his stepgrandmother, his mom's parents, but where are the photos of Mom??
Comment: Good question rstephanou. She is not on his website, nor are any other pictures of his white relatives. But photo 4 shows a nice plump rosy-cheeked grandmother representing the white senior demographic. He did however use his mother in a 30-second commercial in Feb. 9 about her worrying about healthcare her last few months. What she was doing those last few months was helping Barry write/edit his book Dreams of his FATHER (a man he met once). He was also not at her bedside when she died. If you look at her pictures you will clearly see that he gets his jaw from her. Perhaps that is why he doesnt want his picture on his website. Who knows? But he sure used his mother in the ad and his grandmother in the speech when both were expedient. That to me as a mother, daughter and wife is despicable. He seems to forget that Malia and Sasha are 1/4 white. Who knows, maybe that will be used next. Digusting.
Comment: He wasn't with his mother when she died and he used her in that commercial? That is downright nasty. And no pictures of his mother on his website? What kind of a proud son does that? A black man trying to blot out the white is what. And where was his daddy? Same place as mine. Gone. You don't have to be worrying about that if you're truthful with your brothers. Be a man and tell the truth. And honor your mother. You wouldn't be here without her loving you.
Comment: You treat your own blood like that I know you ain't going be there for me. I respect Chelsea's mother. She stood there through the hard times and didn't run off. You best remember that Barack Obama.
Comment: Dowd Rides Again ??? ???Surrender Hillary???
Maureen Dowd, a columnist for the New York Times, has made a career out of bashing the Clintons. In her recent commentary, ???Clinton???s Presidential Candidacy Just Won???t Die???, Ms. Dowd does a fine impersonation of the wicked witch in The Wizard of Oz. One can envision her looking in her crystal ball and cackling ??? ???Jimmy, Al, and Nancy will get you, my pretty???. Then she rides off on her broom writing ???Surrender Hillary??? across the sky.
While it may be true that Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, and Nancy Pelosi all have personal axes to grind with the Clintons, one can only hope that they will be able to rise above past slights and petty differences in the interest of nominating the best-qualified and most electable Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton. If, as Ms. Dowd asserts, ???Hillary???s fate falls into the hands of Jimmy, Al, and Nancy??? and ???the Clinton chickens may come home to roost???, the only ones cackling will be Maureen Dowd and the Republican party. Quick! Can someone throw some water on Maureen Dowd? It would be a blessing for all Democrats if she simply melted into a pool of her own poison ink.

8-06 MEEKS Sermon
MEEKS: The N-word is not in the African-American community a bad word. Its a term of endearment. And I don't see it as derogatory or defensive, offensive.
But they are still the same white people who are presiding over systems where black people are not able to be educated. You got some preachers that are house n-ggers. You got some elected officials that are house n-ggers. Rather than them try and break this up, they're gonna fight you to protect that white man. END

QUOTE: Another person OBAMA says he seeks out for spiritual counsel is state Sen. James MEEKS, who is also the pastor of Chicagos Salem Baptist Church. The day after Obama won the primary in March, he stopped by Salem for Wednesday-night Bible study.
"I know that hes a person of prayer," MEEKS says. "The night after the election, he was the hottest thing going from Galesburg to Rockford. He did all the TV shows, and all the morning news, but his last stop at night was for church. He came by to say thank you, and he came by for prayer."

HAMAS terror manifesto
Compares charter calling for murder of Jews to Declaration of Independence
MARZOOKs feature article appeared on OBAMAs REV WRIGHTs pastor page in the TUCOC newsletter. (7-22-07)
QUOTE: HAMASs charter calls for the murder of Jews. Among its platforms is a statement that the "[resurrection] will not take place until the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them, and the rock and the tree will say: 'Oh Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, kill him!'"
1) HAMAS is listed as a terrorist group by the US STATE DEPARTMENT
2) HAMAS brains MOUSA ABU MARZOOK resides alongside HAMAS leader KHALED MESHAAL.
3) They live in Syria, birthplace of TONY REZKO OBAMAs chief fundraiser who is presently on trial for extortion.
4) OBAMA response: QUOTE: I have already condemned my former pastors views on Israel in the strongest possible terms, and I certainly wasnt in church when that outrageously wrong Los Angeles Times piece was re-printed in the bulletin,"
When is he in the pews? Certainly has read that bulletin. Is it sent out by mail? Anyone?
Why isnt the Secret Service telling us where he was on that day and all the other days in question?
OBAMAS judgment:
REZKO raised $250K raised $20K for MEEKS
MEEKS endorsed delegate
WRIGHT endorsed
FARRAKHAN endorsed
NEW BLACK PANTHER PARTY endorsed
HAMAS endorsed by WRIGHT
Who has the problem with race and judgment?
NEWSWEEK cover story about Barrys
Comment: This man is nasty! Who else's business he be in?
Comment: This is just too much to take. What else is there? People why isn't the media telling us this? Why doesn't anyone care? I cannot understand this just like the other rational people here. What is it going to take? And when will it happen?
Comment: How do you think family members of the 4000 murdered souls feel when you put such a ridiculous article about a name change on the cover? Why didn't you take the time and use the space to list the 4000 by name? Then the NEWSWEEK staff may see that the election is not about race or names or your comments on MTP.
Clearly you have lost no family members and have never served our country. You certainly are not now. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Comment: Dear Editor: You have clearly lost touch with reality. A black and white cover? Is this the best NEWSWEEK could come up with? A name change? And I very much agree with Nevada down there. Clinton supporters are by no means going to fall in step with a crooked politician with ties to the middleeast. You may look the other way and keep your head in the sand but I will not. Why don't you have your crack reporters (who told us nothing new in that article) do some actual investigative work? Until then remain wrapped up in a cultist following.
Comment: Dear Mr. Meacham: I watched your participation on Meet the Press on Sunday, March 23rd and was taken aback by your (and Peggy Noonan's) comments that suggested that Senator Hillary Clinton's supporters would just naturally fall in line and support Mr. Obama if he is the nominee. Nothing could be farther from the truth! Please take note that the reason that we are supporting Senator Clinton is because we truly believe that she is the best qualified candidate in the Democratic Party race. However, if she were somehow not to become the Nominee, many (if not most) of us will vote for Senator McCain come November because quality EXPERIENCE is what is needed at this critical time in our Nation's history. I am sure that the DNC and the press are quite aware of this fact but are not reporting it for obvious reasons.
Comment: That goes to show exactly how "RACIST" you all are--You would have Bush 3 before having Obama.
Hillary is trying to make people believe Obama is the casue of the non-re-votes in Michigan and Florida when the rules were made 18 months ago. IF IT DOESN'T GO YOUR WAY- CHANGE THE RULES AND MAKE IT SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT--YOU WILL DESERVE McCain!!!!
Comment: My dear young lady, why must you shout? This election is not about race - no matter how Mr Obama the uniter chooses to use it. Why don't you expend some of your negative energy by investigating who Mr Obama is? Voters have free will and can vote for whomever they like. Are you even old enough to vote?

Comment: The rest of Hillary???s 2008 race is a myth, deception and revenge. Unfortunately, that is not what Party politics is all about. Even if there were re-votes in FL and MI, she would not have won the nomination. She currently needs at least 64% of the remaining pledged- delegates. It is an insurmountable task for anyone to achieve. She has never won 5 races in a row. She is expected to LOSE in NC and Oregon but WIN in West Virginia, PA and Kentucky.
In terms of popular votes, she is 700,000 votes shy. The highest popular votes she has so far received were in New York and Arkansas. Even if she had the most popular votes, it would not matter. The first tie-breaker in the nomination process is the number of pledged delegates. Unless a candidate is caught with under garments down or dies, the Super delegates will simply award nomination to the candidate who has the most pledged delegates. This is the rule of the game and Nancy Pelosi, the 2008 DNC Convention Chair has recently re-emphasized this point. What else do Hillary and Bill need to know?
Hillary is not staying in the race because she is a fighter but to repay her financial losses and to vent out her anger against the wrong party which is her own. At the end of February, her debts were nearly $9 million. As a result, she has nearly doubled the volume of e-mail solicitations, showcases her Web site more at events and intensified online advertisements asking for small contributions.
Hillary needs to have an exit strategy after the PA primary especially, if she fails to win by 64% or donations dwindle down. Her current strategy is not good for her personally, Bill or her party. She has so far ruined the possibility for a Dream team. She is also diminishing possibilities for future presidential runs. She needs to blame the Republican Party that over the years has ruined her public image and creditability. Mostly it is a payback for her departure from the Republican Party, in her early political life.
She is in serious need of help to overcome the unfavorable result. This is where her peers including Bill Clinton are to step in and offer confidential counseling to heal her wounds and boost her morale. Bill should give precedence to the party that gave him presidency twice rather than the selfish ego of his wife. Hillary is seasoned politician but she has lately been politically reckless. The cause of Hillary???s failure is not her gender, Democratic members, the DNC process or Barack Obama but her lifetime political involvement that created a major negative machinery against her. No matter how optimistically you want to root for Hillary, Obama will certainly end with a pledged-delegate lead and a nomination.
Comment: Newsflash. Obama cannot win without the super delegates, of which Hillary has more. Besides why do you care if she keeps on? It is not your debt. You are not one of her supporters who have every right to vote for her and make their voice heard. Think instead why you all crawl out of the woodwork when Obama takes a hit and his poll numbers drop. March 3rd CNN was overrun with Kerry, Dodd, Rice, Martin and other pro-Obama people. Then Bradley, Leahy and Casey. They were telling Hillary to quit already after Iowa and then before OH/TX/RI/VT. Foaming-at-the-mouth Matthews and Keith "Duke" Olbermann have been at it since day one. Why the uproar? Why now? Nobody would care unless they were worried about the skeletons in Obama's closet. Nobody would care if they didn't think Hillary could do the job. Hillary can go on as long as she wants. Until Obama knocks her out as in KO. He wins with a TKO, he ain't beating McCain. How many states did Obama win by caucus? How many of them are red states? How many Obama supporters are going to come out in November when it's no longer cool? Stop the rhetoric. "selfish ego of his wife" that is derogatory. and by the way, ego doesn't need the modifier 'selfish". Id est.
Comment: Exceptional post, thank you!
