Obama Decries Racial RhetoricThe problem I have with this... is that the messages of supremacy, entitlement and hate (and apparently this wasn't a one-time thing with Pastor Wright, but instead a continual theme) have a long history of hiding in the background and then flowering when conditions are right. (See the KKK, or post WW1 Germany for examples.) It could be argued that this isn't what Obama believes, but statements by his wife indicate that it's not too far from the surface in her case... and if he's been indoctrinated in it for 20 years (and understanding the comfort people find in religion, I note that people stay in churches where they get affirmation of their beliefs, not one that makes them actively uncomfortable...) then there's likely a good strain of it in his psyche.PLAINFIELD, Ind. (AP) - Sen. Barack Obama on Saturday decried "the forces of division" over race that he said are intruding into the Democratic presidential nomination contest.
"We have to come together," he told a town-hall meeting at a high school.
He cited videos of inflammatory sermons given by his pastor that are now being used as political ammunition against him—remarks that Obama has denounced.
And if someone like Romney is unsuitable for the Presidency because of his Mormon background - how should Obama be judged, looking at the beliefs of the church he attends?
