Quote from Gord:
They certainly seem to be unified in defending Obama's support of this giant cesspool of a racist, America-hating church. I haven't heard of one Democrat demand that Barack suspend his support for this church and condemn it as the obvious hate-mongering organization that it is.
So true - and so sad. The Democrat party is now nothing more than the front group for Daily Kos. Nothing a liberal does is too extreme. Every deviant and revolting revelation is excusable. Steal secret documents from the archive - "Oh he was just sloppy." Take sexual advantage of young interns in the Oval Office - "Oh it's a private matter." Have a pastor, councilor and friend that revels in preaching hate and racism - "Oh he's just like a harmless, nutty uncle." But if a Republican senator just compliments a ninety year old compatriot about at one time being an excellent candidate for president - "HE MUST RESIGN!!!" Or if a Republican passes on rumors originally put out by liberal about a desk jockey at the CIA - "PUT HIM IN JAIL FOR LIFE!!!"Quote from TGregg:
They won't, because most of the left believe it. Those that don't believe it completely do hold a lot of sympathy and think it's partially true. Sure, the CIA may not have invented AIDS they think, but surely they helped spread it around. Look at Rosie O'Donut, poster child for the libtard movement. Fire doesn't melt steel, according to her.
Not that Obama could do much to limit himself. He could be raping Palestinian girls on weekends, and they wouldn't mind. Now if he said something like the USA shouldn't bow down to the UN, then the left would have a cow. Or say that the Constitution says what it says and it's not open to changing interpretations - holy moly the libtards would explode. Or suppose a US Senator used to be a KKK leader. . . whoops, that's OK with the left.
Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:
You're kidding, right?
His oldest most important backer is on trial in Chicago for corruption as we speak. Google rezko obama and you'll get almost a million hits. The part of Rezko that haunts Obama is the seemingly obvious bribe that went to Obama in the form of a reduced price on Obama's mansion.
Obama's "spirtual advisor" we all know about.
As a member of the Illinois Senate and the U.S. Senate he's never accomplished a single thing.
Other than being black(ish) and articulate he'd be a non-starter for higher office.

Quote from piezoe:
OK, fair enough. Rezko, we think, helped Obama get his house. Fine with me. Now what was the lie? And what political favors did Obama do for Rezko?
Must have been something, right?
Well, whatever. I haven't heard, seen, or read anything yet that would dissuade me from the thought that Obama is the one to lead us out of the present mess we are in. And by the way Pabst, in case you haven't noticed, Obama IS White, he just has a little darker skin tone than you, so you should feel perfectly comfortable voting for him.

Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
Obama was a formidable candidate when he had the rockstar thing going. Not so good when he has to explain himself, something he's probably never had to do in his political career and probably his entire life. He lacks the experience the Clintons have in dealing with scandals. They would never have made a rookie mistake like claiming they had never done a favor for a corrupt fundraiser, when documentary evidence would prove it to be a misstatement.
He is in trouble but still ahead on points. One more incident could sink him however.
