Is Barak Obama out of the woods with his church

Juan Williams does not think so and I’m sure most people do not think this is over by a long shot. Obama had some radical friends and he needs to explain those associations. Whether there is an Michelle Whitey Tape or not does not really matter. There have been quite a few people he associates with who definite exhibit racist tendencies. Of course Obama denounces certain statements but never identify which statements he denounces and everyone just accepts it as the gospel without question. Well I wanted to believe the best of the man, but after a while it just doesn’t work any longer. I’m not sure I believe he does not share many of the same sentiments of Wright or Pfleger, no let me restate that I’m sure I don’t believe he is telling the truth.

 

I’ll get beat up in the comments section about these statements and called a republican. What I can’t understand is how so many people can just gloss over these facts and not really become offended. If people want unity and change, why do they tolerate such divisive statements. I just don’t understand how these items are not considered. People keep talking about policies and how he is the same as Hillary on a lot of policies. I don’t deny this. They are very similar, but choosing a president is not just about someone’s positions on any one issue. A lot of choosing a president is about character. If you don’t have the right character then you wind up with someone like Bush. And I should note that while I have opposed President Bush since the beginning and disagreed with his policies long before it was popular to disagree with him, but even considering all the disagreements I have with the way President Bush does things I’ve never questioned is loyalty to this country. I can’t say the same thing about Barak Obama. I have serious doubts that he really believes what he says. Some people will agree with this statement and some will not agree. That is one of the beauties oft his country. We have freedom of speech and our ability to debate and disagree is why we have lasted as long as a country as we have. I’m not saying that everything is perfect in the US, but it is a lot better than a lot of places around the world.

The truth is all politicians lie. It does not matter if they are Republican’s, Democrat’s or Independents. Hillary is lying about some things, as well as John Mccain and whether people like it or not Barak Obama is lying about things. Under the Us constitution a president is not all powerful. it was designed this way by the founding fathers so that not any one branch can gain control. I should not need to mention this fact, but I have found that quite a few of the younger voters don’t really have a good grasp on history or the constitution. Now while it is designed this way a president is able to make certain decisions that can really screw up the country. So the best we can do as voters is to look at the candidates and evaluate what they say in comparison with what they have done or who they have associated with in the past and make a  judgement call. Obama just does not make the grade in my book, and for a lot of the same reasons George W. Bush did not make the grade in 2000. There are a lot of questions about what he really believes that prevent me from casting a vote in his favor.
