Obama is lying. I heard the exact words McCain referenced here and that is what he said. Since Obama started putting on the heat about a week ago his true self has emerged. The self who fudges on, flip flops on and takes a U Turn when all else fails. Obama's statement that there are alot of rumours however IS the Truth but it's the Truth about HIM not McCain. I'd like to know when Obama and/or the Media is going to address those rumours. When is Obama going to explain his position on the same and either confirm or deny the accusations being made against him?? A Man who truly wants to change America for the better and a Man with Conviction and Honesty would do so. Can you meet the Challenge Obama? Doesn't matter as you'll meet the challenge if you win the Nomination as the Republicans will make sure you do! Obama's arrogance has increased over the past week and it is not attractive or vote rendering. I know this won't get past the Moderator as none of the comments I've submitted with even one negative word about Obama has ever been approved.

Just getting Bush out of the white house will be the most significant CHANGE of all.
We need a president who has the ability to lead the country in a very troubling world and you are not that man. Hillary Clinton is far superior to making the CHANGES that will restore our country to the great nation it once was before Bush distroyed us all.

I do not believe a person goes to a church for 20 years, has the preacher as his spiritual advisor and then he (Obama) wants us to believe he doesn't believe the same things Wright has preached? His educated voters should Wake Up!!!! Did Obama sleep during the 20 years of attending Wright's church?

In his book on hope Obama speaks about his church supporting Louis Farraklan against the jews. and he was questioned about this in one of the debates he had early in the year. Yes it is an attributable aganist Obama. he had to share these feeling to write about the subject. so he can't say he didn't know. The values you have from your family and church are the same values you will take to the white house. The Jewish people should be very nervious about Obama. He has also stated in the debates that he would meet with Hamas and Iran without conditions. He said " You have to talk to your enemies as well as your friends to have peace". Now he has a different story. You cannot compare Obama's church to Rev. Hagee. McCain was not a member of that church nor did he aknowledge Hagee's support. It took Obama twenty years and an election for him to do something. Personley I think Wright will follow Obama into the white house. He did not leave the church and it's teachings he just made a speech. Obama is betting the American people have a short memory.

I listened to the speech and I liked it. From what I saw ofthe crowd, he got a warm recpetion, and I believe he was listened to and heard. I do hope everyone keeps in mind that McCain 2 big boosters, Hagee and parsley or full of hatred for the Jewish and Islam faiths. While he may not have attended their churches, he certainly sought their support and took their money. The straight talk express is realyy crooked.

Thanks to the Israeli lobby and the mainstream media that blindly plays along, Most Americans will be continued to kept in the dark regarding this brutal and illegal occupation in the Holy land. It's ironic that many Israeli citizens are able to voice their dissent against their own government's racist policies, yet in our country it's considered as blasphemy and anti-semitism. We need a president who can look out for the interest's of our country, and not of any foreign state. World peace now!
