I can't wait to be sent to reeducation camp!
But I do feel bad for him on a personal level.
He only resigned as a political move. He was a member of that church for 20 years! His only motive in resigning is to distance himself from those that are hurting his chances for office.
No, I think Obama has seen the error in judgement he made in the past and truly wants to change it. He isn't the only person to go to church for 20 years and never listen to what the preacher said. I think it is a good thing Obama has rejected racism publicly. Too bad other politicians won't follow suit.
1960 was almost half a century ago.
Some of this is simply thinly veiled racism.
If you don't like Obama, you're a racist.
But I do believe a lot of the attacks made upon him regarding his religion are thinly veiled attempts to discriminate against him based on race and/or religion
Obama finally decided to cut his losses, and toss Trinity United Church of Christ under the bus. He has officially resigned from the Church, an will have no further relationship with it.
Now Obama has called this church his "family" for the later part of his life. How can he now turn on those that he was the closest to, and instead reject them??
Interestingly, Obama decided to just have his campaign staff issue a press release about this, instead of him having a press conference, as he has had on so many other issues.
Of course, if he did that, then some reporters might of had some embarrassing questions to ask him about it.
Obama did the right thing. This will widen his victory over McCain in November.
