I do think that Obama is lying about the whole Rev. Wright and his church. There is no way he sat in that church for 20 years, and didn't know what the Reverend Wright's positions were. He clearly has decided now to separate himself from the church, however if he truly found those positions offensive it would have been appropriate to separate himself before campaigning on a National Stage.
I do question his love for this country...sorry but this comes from the comments that his wife made..."For the first time in my adult life, I'm proud of this country"...
C'mon, the woman is in her mid to late 40s, if she can't pick one time in the last 25 years that this country has done her proud, then that is damn near tantamount to an admission that the entire system in this country needs to change for her to be happy. Yeah, these were her words, not his...but they were made when stumping for his campaign. If the couple had political and philisophical differences of this magnitude, it would be unlikely that he'd have her speaking in groups like this, rather he'd have one of a myriad of his other advisors making the speeches he can't make. But as his wife and partner he supported her, and her beliefs.
Personally I don't like either candidate. I do want change, but not change for the worse!!! I seriously question Barrack Obama's direction for this country, and I'm not real excited about McCain's either. But where the idea of McCain as President is a disappointment to me, the idea of Obama as President scares the hell out of me.
