I watched the NAACP speech
and would now consider being an Obama supporter.

That makes no freaking sense whatsoever: Obama just disassociated
himself from everything Wright has said.

UV, I wrote my statement before Obama came out distancing.

Doesn't matter, though, the timing. Fact remains that Wright has
been Obama's minister and, therefore, might have views in common
with him. If Obama can like Wright as a minister, Obama has
qualities I like.


Huh. Well, my view is pretty much the complete opposite, though I
did enjoy that Obama called Wright ridiculous, etc. You do realize
that Wright said that the U.S. created AIDS to kill blacks, right?
