Not good.  Also speaks to their fantasy about unity.

He should not have done this, it only makes him look weak, could hurt him with AA's and looks as transparent as the 'no problem with Wright'/next-day throw Wright under the bus ploy.

This is bad. And it shows the polling is bad for him, too.

'So, Senator Obama, after 20 years, what made you feel like it was time to leave your church?"

This just feeds the narrative.  Just because you quit something doesn't complete you cut you off from its association.  This is a presidential campaign, not running for the local PTA.

and him leaving his church?  that move came STRAIGHT down from Pelosi/Dean/Kerry.

Michelle didn't want to leave that church, is my guess, because she probably feels more loyal to it than Obama does regarding where they are in life and how it helped them to get there.

I bet this is also a little reflexive as to that purported tape out there with MO and Rev Wright.

PLUS.....

1. He sat in that church for 20 years, and continued there for the last 3 months when all these problems were erupting.

2. It shows how opportunistic he is; he's consistently been throwing people under the bus when they were turning out to be an inconvenience for him.

3. This latest stunt raises (even more) questions about his judgment, his values, his sense of loyalty and his penchant for taking and breaking friendships and associations.

She had a huge number of endorsements secured right off the bat when she announced her campaign. Of course, there were a few rather weak individuals who jumped ship.

Wait, did I say "soul"?

Add to that, his resume could be written on the back of his driver's license, he has run a racist, sexist campaign, and he has little background knowledge.....it is an embarrasment that the Democratic Party would nominate him to lead our country.

We come a long way baby

Here is part of his race speech not so long ago.

That has been my experience at Trinity. Like other predominantly black churches across the country, Trinity embodies the black community in its entirety - the doctor and the welfare mom, the model student and the former gang-banger. Like other black churches, Trinity's services are full of raucous laughter and sometimes bawdy humor. They are full of dancing, clapping, screaming and shouting that may seem jarring to the untrained ear. The church contains in full the kindness and cruelty, the fierce intelligence and the shocking ignorance, the struggles and successes, the love and yes, the bitterness and bias that make up the black experience in America.

And this helps explain, perhaps, my relationship with Reverend Wright. As imperfect as he may be, he has been like family to me. He strengthened my faith, officiated my wedding, and baptized my children. Not once in my conversations with him have I heard him talk about any ethnic group in derogatory terms, or treat whites with whom he interacted with anything but courtesy and respect. He contains within him the contradictions - the good and the bad - of the community that he has served diligently for so many years.

I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother - a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.

These people are a part of me. And they are a part of America, this country that I love.

aside from that, no one.

I want to say one thing to the American people.
I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I did not have spiritual relations with that church, Trinity Church. Never. These allegations are false.

Hagee & Co have face-to-faces with McCain and Lieberman to better expedite Armageddon in the M.E and to solidify their status as useful loons for "regime change" and all anyone can talk about is how much our exquisitly tender sensibilities have been violated by Wright and Father P telling us that the U.S isnt Pirate Island on a sunny day with free taffy and pirate hats, and that Our Lady might not be the reincarnation of Jeanne d'Arc.
