We are taught that abortion and birth control are forbidden. we should live by the ten commandments, we are not supposed to divorce. I wonder why the world isn't a better place if everyone who is going to church is clinging to what their priests or preachers are preaching. Before you vote, examine your own conscious, and if you truly believe that you are practicing your faith to the fullest and doing everything you hve heard from your priests or pastors or preachers, then you have the right to judge Senator Obama's relationship with his pastor. Try to put aside race, gender and vote based on who you think is truly the candidate that is really concerned about the people and where we are going and who is in this just to win. We are voting for our future and the future of our children, this is too important a decision to be fighting over. As A catholic, I can only speak for my own faith.

The problem is he says he is bringing change. He says many of us are caught up in the views of the sixties and he is bringing a new view which will unite. Yet he had this guy as an advisor who is stuck in that radical viewpoint. A lot of us know people, who we are friendly with whose views we may think is a little extreme. It may not stop us from being friendly, but if we were running for anything we would not have this person as an advisor . Obama had to be aware of all of Wright's views, he just took a chance on it not turning on him. Maybe he wanted the support of those who shares Wrights point of view on the QT.

It appears to me that the voters have taken a better look at both candidates and decided that Senator Clinton has the knowledge, the experience, and the toughness to go up against Senator McCain in the fall. What Senator Clinton does not have is a lot of bad friends that can be used in a "swift boat" type ad in the fall. Senator Obama won the caucuses early on because none of the bad stuff was known at the time. Had the voters known then what they know now, he would be out of the race already. Senator Clinton is the best nominee for the Democratic Party and the voters are now acknowledging this fact. Senator Obama ought not to count his chickens before they hatch. It appears to me that the voters have taken a better look at both candidates and decided that Senator Clinton has the knowledge, the experience, and the toughness to go up against Senator McCain in the fall.

It appear that the public needs to know that Hillary is not letting people know she is a lier.. New lie being told is she was a Colts fan years ago.. She is telling the IN people that she has always been a colts fan, her grandfather took her to the games in IN. Her grand father must have been rich, because he took her all across the country! Because years ago they were in Baltimore! Why won't CNN post my comments

He never mentions Obama. Rev. Wright loves the Clintons. He was their counselor and honored White House guest when Bill was President. Wake up America! Rev. Wright is purposely trying to derail the Obama campaign to elect his hero Hillary Clinton. This shamefull scam that the Clintons and Rev. Wright are perpetrating against an honerable man and potentially great President Obama is possible because the American media are a bunch of sheep who follow Hillary’s cues. A tiny bit of real jounalism would have quickly exposed this devious tactic by the Clintons to have their close confidant play the fool and link his idiocy unfairly to Obama.

Hillary has been fighting her whole life for kids and healthcare, he comes along in this race and takes her healthcare plan but leaves people out and tha makes him the savior?

This is not about pandering but about giving short term relief where it counts the most.
