Have you changed your opinion of Obama after seeing his pastor rant and rave like a mad man?

I am a Hillary supporter, but I have said that I would vote for Obama if he got the nomination. I HAVE CHANGED MY MIND!!! After seeing the horrible racist things his pastor said today I have really thought about this. Why would Obama sit under such opinionated talk and support this by attending the church, being a member, or financially giving tithes and offerings? I would never sit under a white man talking like that whether I agreed with him or not. What kind of influence has this had on Obama? No wonder his wife feels like she does about America. We need to wake up and really look at this. Do you agree?Have you changed your opinion of Obama after seeing his pastor rant and rave like a mad man?
Obama said himself that his minister is his friend and mentor. He actually consulted ';Rev'; White before he announced his candidacy and prayed with him (no one who promotes hate truly represents God, he doesn't deserve the title of Rev.) Wright's magazine, The Trumpet, has given Louis Farrakhan a humanitarian award. Obama tried to sugar coat it, he assumes the whole country is as gullible as those he's (so far) able to excite with empty words.





You are so right, no one would stand by such a hateful person unless they agreed with them. Obama is a racist - and he's a liar. Now he has his wife and supporters claiming he can ';heal souls';. No one has sounded more like the anti-Christ since Hitler.Have you changed your opinion of Obama after seeing his pastor rant and rave like a mad man?
Mmm.. I think I may just go independant.





Obama is too green and Hillary is too much of a sycophant.





At this point, we really don't need a newbie or an ***-kisser up in the White House,
A religious leader ranting and raving? NO! Really?
You have it so wrong, here read the entire thing.
I would never vote for him anyway, but to think he sat in that church for years listening to rants like that is frightening





and even scarier, everyone in the church cheering him on while he says GD America over and over, United States of KKK, that the govt invented AIDs to kill black people, etc etc
No. I know the difference between Obama and Obama's pastor. You may not have noticed, but they're actually two separate people.
You should talk! Turn on the TV any Sunday morning and you will see service after service after fanatical religious service being televised for the financial benefit of the most loud, screaming, blithering, sputtering white and black bible-belt fear-mongering preachers in the entire world! Don't talk to me about Obama's preacher. Clean up your own house.
I have never been a fan of Obama.





I live in Illinois, and from what I can tell, he hasn't done anything for us. Neither has Durbin for that matter...





Peace!
Obama is not the same man as his preacher, and you can't hold him accountable for the opinions expressed by others. I think that a good summary of his stand on his religion and the role that it would play in his presidency when he's elected can be found here:

I'm not worried about his preacher having an undue influence on him.


On the other hand, seeing how Hillary has comported herself during this campaign, the ugly tactics she has resorted to, and her willingness to harm her party's chances of winning the presidency has made me rethink my support of her. I support Obama, and if not him, then McCain.
No.





If you believe that Obama's pastor represents him, personally, then you're a hopeless idiot.





How would you like it if I said you were a horrible person just because your pastor said something ignorant? I'll bet you wouldn't be very happy, would you? My mother's pastor is an ignorant, sexist pig, but that doesn't make HER a bad person, either. Because your pastor =/= YOU. Nor does the pastor = the church. He's just there to talk.





Churchgoers go to church for many different reasons - for their family, for friends, for socializing with other people (Even if they don't like the pastor,) because the church staff does good things on its own, etc. And tithes and offerings, while they pay the pastor's salary, ALSO (and MOSTLY, since pastors in most churches are paid PEANUTS) pay the church's bills - because power, water, sewer, trash pickup, and building/property maintenance aren't free - and support things like community food banks, outreach programs, day cares, and other charitable programs. None of which have anything to do with the pastor.





So maybe you should not make such ignorant assumptions about a man based on something so trivially stupid. Do unto others as you would have done to you, after all.
Nope, I don't watch the news and I make my decision on who to vote for after watching the debates.
