  • Several instances in the article described Obama as being a "good listener." So how come he never heard the Reverend Wright's diatribes about others?

    And we only know about the few that were made into videos... What was he listening to for those twenty years?

    The only thing "new" about this charlatan is that the Dems can't see through his "audacity." Zero experience as a executive, less senatorial experience than John Edwards, but as a Dem I've seen his type before.

    I voted for Hillary and John Kerry and Al Gore, but now I must vote for McCain.
