he would get around to throwing the whole shabang under the bus.  If he wanted it to count for anything he should have done that years ago.....too late now, he's toast.

He said something that will raise even more questions about his choice of this church in the first place. Some folks have tried to defend his choice by saying he only chose this church because of the political connections it would afford him. He categorically denied this when asked about it, stating that if that were his goal, there were bigger, better, more politically connected churches in Chicago he could have chosen. He said(or implied) he took offense to any such implication. So, Obama, if that isn't the reason, why did you choose a racist, hate-preaching church? Maybe some of us just refuse to see the forest for all the trees.

Also interesting is he isn't leaving the church for anything that goes on there, or anything being taught there, he's leaving because of all the media attention they are getting.

I watched a bit of the National Spelling Bee last night but  did not see the end. I go up this morning and turned on ABC news to see who won. They were talking to the winner but they never mentioned what school he attended. So, I assumed he was home schooled. Had it been a government school they would have been bragging about it.

Seriously, this couldn't of been planned at a better time for this empty-suited enemy...he knew what was happening to him via the msm towards the end of the week with Phlager and his church, he knew the decision on Michigan/Florida would be exempting his problem today, he knows the Sunday shows are already booked with McClellan and his BS, plus the outcome from today regarding he seatings for Hill/Obama, he knows the msm will automatically drop this all now...gladly.

btw...when I say "he", I mean the machine behind him...he is an empty vessel with zilch for brains.

Anyone paying attention to this entire situation will see Obama's real intentions, which are solely for politcal gain. I admit that I expected him to cut ties like most politicians would right after Rev. Wright but it's pretty pathetic that he's only doing it now that more comments have come along from a guest pastor. I believe that had these things never made it to the media he'd still be there, he's just trying to save his political career. I take much more offense to his borderline communist ideology than his religious ties although at least this focus on his radical associations have helped bring his far-left ideology to light.

It was the Conservative blogs, Talk Radio, and FOX News that prodded this on.

Make no mistake, if he didn't know his church was a hive of racemongers, he wouldn't be kicking them to the curb right now.  He'd be lashing back in righteous indignation.

LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

let's all rejoice. conservatives have forced a man to denounce the man who brought him to christ.

let's all rejoice. conservatives have forced a man to leave the only church he knew.

let's all rejoice. conservatives like the kind of pastors that mccain actively seeks support from.

maybe obama should join hagee's church and rail against the 'great whore' of religion. then conservatives can really rejoice.  because that seems to be acceptable speech.

Obama's outlook is completely shaped by 14 years (him plus his wife) in the PC Ivy League and by 40 years (him and his wife)
in that damnable cathedral of hate and he will never be able to alter his world view or adjust to changing environments/situations. Despite resigning he can in no way
separate himself from that cathedral of hate. It is now the job of our vaunted 4th estate to keep the voting public informed...lotsa luck!!! ;>)
I grew up in a very RED ideological family (red diaper type)
and to this day...despite 17 years in abroad..and many differing experiences...your first ideological home is tough to shake...Barrack is Leninist in orientation and approach if not Marxist in his economic views...ie state ownership etc...
It is truly frightening..the prospect of this man as president....

FOR PETE'S SAKE SPIT IT OUT!!!!

This guy makes my head hurt when he isn't using a teleprompter.

He's shown his true colors already. He's sat through too many anti-white Nuremberg rallies to feign innocence.

Why did he attend for 20 years? Because he liked it. He was and is in sympathy with the venomous black bigotry of Wright and the rest. It's the bigotry of Obama's hopey-hope changeful expectorations.

For a couple of reasons, my critcism of NBers reaction to Obama's resignation from the TUCC must be muted.  1. After all, it's politics and the election is just a few months away, and 2. Obama must bear much of the blame for his predicament.

That said, there is a certain irony [though not particularly surprising] regarding the chronology and trajectory of the controversy.  Initially, Obama was fiercely denounced for his putative Muslim associations.  This required him to publicly focus on his Christian bona fides and the church which he had been attending for the past twenty years.  When the [appalling] Reverend Wright videos surfaced, he was fiercely denounced for his long relationship with the "America-hating" minister.  Consequently, Obama delivered his generally well-received racial harmony speech in which he repeatedly repudiated Wright's divisive oratory.  Undeterred, his critics fiercely denounced Obama's failure to completely sever his relationship with Wright.  After Wright made further intemperate comments about Obama behaving as a "politician", their relationship was then severed.  Still, this was insufficient to silence his detractors...who then fiercely denounced Obama for continuing his membership in a "racist" church.  And  now that his resignation from TUCC has been effected, Obama is fiercely denounced because it is "too little, too late" and it doesn't change the fact that he is a "communist".

I think it is clear that Obama's behavior, actions, and responses are really not important so much as finding reasons--and, make no mistake, more will be found--to fiercely denounce him.

But . . . who will now teach Barack and Michelle's daughters their spiritual lessons?

Obama is damaged goods and the Dems know it (though they won't admit it).  But they will stick with him because they would rather loose the White house then destroy their party.  Handing it to Hillary would risk alienating both Black voters and the new George Soros/Moveon.org Uber-left - two crucial and powerful constituencies.

The Dems' crackpot delegate allocation rules favored Obama in a massive way.  Densely democrat (mostly urban) districts across the country are "awarded" more delegates per voter, disenfranchising suburban and rural Dems everywhere - the kind of people more likely to vote for Hillary.

Unfortunately for the democratic party, these same Hillary voters will break heavily for McCain when given the option of a far left "Messiah" vs. a mostly centrist war hero.

I wish I knew how to quit you, Trinity.

Vote 4 change. Vote 4 anything. See Jack & Mr Shy's first campaign ad for the ONLY viable 3rd party candidate.

Obama quote from his letter: 

"This was one I didn't see coming," Obama said Saturday when he asked if he had anticipated the firestorm that would erupt over his relationship with Wright.

OK the man is running for president of the United States and his pastor/madman says to him, "God damn America."  It takes Obama six years to figure out that that comment is going to be a problem for him that he did not see coming.  Anyone that slow on the uptake has no business being or ever even being considered a person of presidential timbre.  His assumption that he was not going to be affected by such words only goes to show that his arrogance stands in the way of sound judgement.  I would predict that if he is elected president America is going to fall on some really tough times.  (The first real problem, for example, will raise its ugly head when President Obama puts The Ice Queen in charge of health care; there go the first three blocks of the neighborhood. )

A white nut preacher acting like a black nut preacher was just too much for Obama.

BHO left this radical leftist and racist congregation for political reasons, not theological ones. He did not reject the black liberation theology it teaches, which is at heart Marxist in scope, and he did not reject the anti-White racism of that church. Not only did he not reject these, but he is also playing the victim card, that is he left Trinity because all the media attention was hurting the shut-ins. I actual feel sorry for BHO, for he has never experienced the true teachings of the Christian faith. He has only heard the ravings of political activism. 

Calling the question and begging the question: They better come back to haunt him. No amount of disassociation will "clean him up" from his radical "associations", because that is who he is.

What hasn't been made clear by the media is that without a detailed, thorough, and complete renunciation of the philosophies and mentors he has been raised with and by whom he has been groomed and backed, the marxist radical training he has had, and his current guise of flying under the flag of faux-christianity (liberation theology, peace-as-capitulation) on a ship of class warfare, national socialism and african nationalism. Quite a combination, no? What is so dangerous and radical about that combination, one might ask?

If we don't wake up, and re-crystallize our own agendas to protect and maintain the values we cherish, we are close to finding out what is so dangerous and radical.

There has also been a curious and pointed refusal on the point of the media to even mention the name of Saul Alinsky, and that association is the most dangerous of all, IMHO, because he taught radicals to "fly under the radar" and "blend in" with whatever environment they found themselves, and to implement their strategies for the implementation of radical socialist policies gradually under the supposed unassailable motivation of good intentions: i.e., protecting "the neglected", for the "good" of those who "cannot take care of themselves", and in the name of the "working poor".

What is so interesting is that Hillary Clinton had the same training and hardening under Saul Alinksy's strategies for gaining and maintaining power with a radical socialist agenda, and wrote her thesis about him. What would be difference between them, except that we really do know who Hillary is, to a greater degree than we do Obama?
