Obama, in addition to his $300 Million PR machine, somehow unifies voters in the United States.<br><br>Sen Obama is the most Left Wing voting Senator. When he got around to voting, he was also one of the most partisan members of the Senate. Throughout his career he has repeatedly voted against his own neighborhood on issues such as school choice. Leading a bought and paid for rally against Wal Mart in your neighborhood, despite 500 people lining up to apply for jobs their is not unifying leadership.<br><br>Housing Crisis? Obama wants to jail the lenders. Gas Prices too high? Lets charge the Oil Companies with price gouging. Making too much money in the stock market? No problem, Obama thinks your profits are too high, and will double your capital gains tax.<br><br>Sen. Obama has learned the methods of dividing the country very well from Rev. Wright. I don't think it is time to have such a wrong leader for this country.<br><br>JBPJohn Powersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709087743016851805.post-57905873868957725422008-04-30T15:41:23.000-05:002008-04-30T15:41:23.000-05:00Oprah Winfrey, the popular television host, who ai...Oprah Winfrey, the popular television host, who aided Obama with her endorsement, reportedly visited Wright's church once and decided not to return to it.<br><br>The question about Obama's connection to Wright is why did it take him so long to realize that Wright was spewing forth angry rhetoric and vitriolic hate speeches from the pulpit? Likewise, how could he not know that the controversial comments would become public when Wright had advertised the same materials on his web site and sold copies of the sermons on tape?Dan Kelleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709087743016851805.post-40647381708286165802008-04-30T14:17:49.000-05:002008-04-30T14:17:49.000-05:00I think Obama's tragedy is that he has tried t...I think Obama's tragedy is that he has tried to span his two worlds. (I told you that you do not understand the world that black people live in. Wright has given you an excellent example).<br><br>While Obama has lived in the world represented by Wright, he has at the same time been part of the world of intelligent, elegant people -- the world away from black roots. This may be how he hoped he could bring people together: show them the two kinds of thinking in America could co-exist.<br><br>Now, both worlds have turned on him. Maybe no one can be in both cultures and exist peacefully.<br><br>I find it tragic and sad.elizabeth alexandernoreply@blogger.com
