And Obama gave a major speech on race..and disavowed Wright completely. They no longer have any contact. Additionally..it wasn't the Democratic side that brought up religion. It was the Republican side. And they hold religion as a litmus test for office.
But heck..what was so terrible about Wright?
Spill it.
I think the bigger question is why did Obama throw Wright under the bus?? Could it be that Wright was "Damning" America and everyone else just found out about it??
I must say Colin Powell is not the man I thought he was.
Why is that the "bigger" question?
Wright objected to the invasion of Iraq..and said so..
Obama find the way he objected to be irresponsible..and left his church.
Colin Powell..is an American hero. He fought for the right to speak his mind. And all Americans should support that right. That's part of what makes America an exceptional nation.
Russia just tossed a punk band into jail for speaking their minds.
Oh I see, Wright just started objecting to the War in Iraq when Obama was running for President.
Colin Powell can say what ever he wants, I applaud his service for fighting for that right. However, I don't like that he's covering for Obama with lies and shrugs. Obama sat in Wright's church for 20 years. He married the Obamas and baptized their daughters, you don't throw a pastor under the bus because you happen to be running for President.
Powell has lost a lot of respect from his party, his friends and the voters. He can speak his mind and say what he wants, he's not the man I thought he was.
