Hey Puff,
The clip takes too long to play on my computer. So then, I am not able to comment on it. Yesterday I was watching one of those Sunday morning political round table discussions and one of the commentators made an interesting observation.
Obama, as would be expected, is publicly denouncing the Reverend's comments. That is a smart political move. However, Obama said that he has never sat in one of the services of the church when his pastor made such racially charged comments. He, Obama, went on to say that if he had, he would've confronted the pastor on it after the sermon. Obama may have very well stepped knee deep in it by making such comments.
She, the political commentator went on to say that it can easily be checked to see if Obama is telling the truth on this. All they have to do is pour over videos of past services to check if Obama is in fact telling the truth or if lied. It would’ve been better for him, imho, to not have made such a statement. Finally, I think that Obama will weather the storm. However, this could come back to haunt him during the election. I have not yet mad up mind up between Hillary and Obama and who I will choose come November. They are so similar on their views and policies.
