Flip-flopping started here by Obama
Obama talks about the recent attacks on his campaign by Hillary-supporting media. All Obama’s pastor say is common sense.

Trinity United Church of Christ, to the media coverage of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s more inflammatory comments.
“AN ATTACK ON OUR SENIOR PASTOR AND THE HISTORY OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCH”:
Chicago, Ill. (March 15, 2008) — Nearly three weeks before the 40th commemorative anniversary of the murder of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Reverend Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.’s character is being assinated in the public sphere because he has preached a social gospel on behalf of oppressed women, children and men in America and around the globe.
“Dr. Wright has preached 207,792 minutes on Sunday for the past 36 years at Trinity United Church of Christ. This does not include weekday worship services, revivals and preaching engagements across America and around the globe, to ecumenical and interfaith communities. It is an indictment on Dr. Wright’s ministerial legacy to present his global ministry within a 15- or 30-second sound bite,” said the Reverend Otis Moss III, pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ.
During the 36-year pastorate of Dr. Wright, Trinity United Church of Christ has grown from 87 to 8,000 members. It is the largest congregation in the United Church of Christ (UCC) denomination.
“It saddens me to see news stories reporting such a caricature of a congregation that has been such a blessing to the UCC’s Wider Church mission,” said the Rev. John H. Thomas, UCC general minister and president, in a released statement. ” … It’s time for us to say ‘No’ to these attacks and declare that we will not allow anyone to undermine or destroy the ministries of any of our congregations in order to serve their own narrow political or ideological ends.”
Trinity United Church of Christ’s ministry is inclusive and global. The following ministries have been developed under Dr. Wright’s ministerial tutelage for social justice: isted living facilities for senior citizens, day care for children, pastoral care and counseling, health care, ministries for persons living with HIV/AIDS, hospice training, prison ministry, scholarships for thousands of students to attend historically black colleges, youth ministries, tutorial and computer programs, a church library, domestic violence programs and scholarships and fellowships for women and men attending seminary.
Moss added, “The African American Church was born out of the crucible of slavery and the legacy of prophetic African American preachers since slavery has been and continues to heal broken marginalized victims of social and economic injustices. This is an attack on the legacy of the African American Church which led and continues to lead the fight for human rights in America and around the world.”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. preached the Christian tenet, “love thy neighbor as thyself.” Before Dr. King was murdered on April 4, 1968, he preached, “The 11 o’clock hour is the most segregated hour in America.” Forty years later, the African American Church community continues to face bomb threats, death threats, and their ministers’ characters are assinated because they teach and preach prophetic social concerns for social justice. Sunday is still the most segregated hour in America.

I have researched …
I have researched the word of God for 30 + years .. There is nothing that states a man sharing his wage with others outside of giving to the poor, but even then, its a free choice of the man giving, not forced to give.. The Judgment of that man and his giving is of God, not of men.. God has always blessed a man in measure by his deeds.
For one to oversee the blessings of God is to play God! It would bring a curse on the Nation!
Hahahaha, Rev …
Hahahaha, Rev Wright is taking a sabbatical under Obama’s bus!!! What a en liar…
LOL what about the …
LOL what about the huge slant on all the other channels to the left? you need to do a lot more research on the issue rather than being duped into believing what certain people want you to think to achieve their goals.
Obviously the news …
Obviously the news that you get in the U.S. is censored or extremely slanted (ie: Fox news) so there is really no point in presenting you with facts. The U.S. is in a recession and is dragging the rest of the world down with it. Western Australia is where I’m staying. The government here is giving up 10.4 bil. to try to save this economy! Now maybe that’s minimal to your greedy yank , but it is a FACT. I put up with 50 yrs of being lied to in the U.S.I’m sick of trying to argue with SHEEP.
Obama can’t even …
Obama can’t even handle ppl looking into his past but says nothing to ppl bashing Palin on personal issues that have nothing to deal with her leadership. They can’t bash ppl who don’t have anything worth bashing. Obama says different things depending on who he is BSing to.
*knowfuture22172* has been brainwashed. Easy to do when the subject is ignorant and weak. cceran01 you are an American Patriot, God Bless you and your healthy mind.
Canadians over the …
Canadians over the age of 55 are moving to the US in incredible #’s. Why? In Canada at the age of 55 you are considered useless. Health care is limited to worse than what is already offered. 6 month wait to see a doc. The northern US states are now filled with Canadians fleeing the failing socialist based country. Of course Canadians hate the US its proof their country sucks. Just like so many other countries. Not your fault! You have been brainwashed. I hope your ignorance is short lived.
If it was up to me …
If it was up to me I would pull the stool out from both of these guys then back up while their bodies do the short drop. The Rosenbergs have nothing on the treason of either one of the above heads. Neither one deserves the right to a firing squad just an old piece of rope covered in pig .*Rosenbergs were gassed, Either way I would pay a good $100K to end the existence of these two once given the LEGAL go ahead to end their evil lives. They should be burned and buried just like Hitler
You are a …
You are a disgusting person whose life is reduced to thinking your posts on youtube mean something. I thought just maybe I’d be surprised and you might have something to say worth listing to – I was wrong. Your a dumb .
Maybe you should …
Maybe you should tell that to all the Australians who will now have to work for years to recover the losses to their Supers, (retirement funds), thanks to Wall St, and the greed of a pitiful few! Personally, I’m happy to now call myself an Aussie, and be among those who wouldn’t wipe their es with the likes of you!
