Breaking News!!! OBAMA VIDEO surfaces praising Rev Wright as mentor (Obama exposed as FRAUD)

WATCH CNN AND FOX NEWS - MONDAY NIGHT

New video surfaces of Obama praising Rev Wright and clearly stating that he's a close and intimate friend... someone who counsels Obama and his wife!

Not only was he in the PEWS, Obama had Rev Wright in his living room and
in his EAR for 20 years.

OBAMA IS THE FRAUD THAT REV WRIGHT SAID HE WAS. PLEASE. DO NOT TRUST OBAMA!

Good grief Charlie Brown. Give it a rest.

There's a war on with Americans dying in the desert.

[ImLeft]

His church's and his pastors support of Hamas and others, his pastors trip with Farrakhan to meet Iranian terror supporter, his pastor's and church's, where a large number of muslims also attend, hatred for America, is not something that will be just swept under the rug. What happens if he is President, will his friends be calling him for favors? I know you may be tired of hearing now, but it's not the end. We are at war with evil that has vowed for years and years to destroy us, America should question, intensely.

[2lib4oh]

That video is a year old, so what ?That's old news. Obama has finally read the sermons that everyone, including himself now, object to.

Keep trying to stir things up. You guys on the Radical Right are desperate.

[urban]

Boring....

[GBecker]

Off topic, but in case you missed Moyers last night:

Powerful.

[meltingpot101]

Thanks for sharing.


Bravo Bill Moyers

[BatedBreath]

What he said.

[Bagger]

Wow...My anger with the MSM has been seething since this all broke out. But Moyers commentary put me at ease for once. It's very easy to see the racism spewing from the MSM over this and now finally someone has called them out on it.

[GBecker]

Our next prez, ladies & gentlemen! Yesssssssssssssss

Obama '08!

[Whycee54]

I just love his ability to over com the BS and find some humor in all this mess. and he is cute too.

[CitizenGeek]

It's so good to see politicians in the US with a good sense of humour. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama abd eve n George W. Bush all seem to have a good sense for humour and are all able to laugh at themselves. And there's people like Barney Frank, too. Politicians in the UK and here in Ireland are usually sternly serious about everything and it gets boring after a while ...

[aflurry]

well it's been a laugh riot on this side of the pond.

[Dan1967]

CHECK OUT THESE POLL NUMBERS! BARACK OBAMA IS BY FAR THE STRONGEST CANDIDATE AGAINST MCCAIN.

Don't listen to the media spin. Barack does much better then Hillary in states like Wisconsin, Michigan, Oregon, Iowa, Minnesota, and Colorado. Barack is leading McCain in all of those states. Hillary is losing to McCain in all of those states except for Minnesota, where she is tied. Compare and contrast the general election polls at WWW.POLLSTER.COM (type it in if the Link does not work).

VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA AND LETS GET A DEMOCRAT WIN IN NOVEMBER!

[JDJase]

wont matter that he wins those states when he loses Pennsylvania, Florida, and Ohio

[Crozier]

Bullcrap....he will win PA, and OH.....and FL is always a GOP state in the end. Ask Gore....Oh I forgot.....it was GOP Neocon Theft....

[MarionBell]

Michelle Obama for President!? Did you watch the last two interviews with Michelle, the one on CNN, April 30th, and the one on MSNBC, May 1st, where she appeared together with her husband? She said, "we are doing this", "we are running this kind of campaign", "we believe in this or that". During the MSNBC interview with Meredith Viera, Michelle intereupted Barak several times to give longwinded speeches, making everyone very uncomfortable. If you watch her carefully, while Barak is talking to Viera, she is not actually even listening to him, she is looking for an opportunity to jump in and go at it again. I don't remember her being on the ticket with Barak. So, who is going to be the actual President, if Barak Obama is elected in November?

[Larry of Corrales]

I think she's great, and both she and Barack are better than Hillary or John McCain.

[MarionBell]

You "think" she is great because you don't pay much attention to what she is saying. And first and foremost, is highly inapropriate for a future or current first lady to interupt the President in the middle of a conversation to give her side of the story. Nobody asked her to begin with. It is tacky and it says a lot about her judgment. Imagine Barak as president talking to a state leader and her interupting to tell him, or her, the way she thinks it is. Listen to the words they use and see how much sense they make, and than you will be a little disappointed. Bill Clinton is the only politician on both sides of the isle who can issue a coherent and educated statement on practically any subject. No one is perfect, but he proved time after time that he knows his issues. When Barak is taken out of his "speech mode", he mumbles, and stumbles and by the way he is done I am tired of listening and trying to understand what he wanted to say. He is, indeed, all speeches and no substance. And so is Michelle, only she things she knows it better than anyone else, including his hubby.

[jdmccl]

I hear she also couldn't call her husband "my husband” Just Barak, Barak, Barak....Barak do the dishes, Barak rub my feet, she will do more harm to this nice guy than Mr Wrong. Even Hillbillybaby is looking better and I never thought I would say that. I can feel she has a book coming out, big surprise.

[DrDemon]

"Just Barak, Barak, Barak....Barak do the dishes, Barak rub my feet, she will do more harm to this nice guy than Mr Wrong".

How do you know? What are you, the Mistress?

[Sabreen60]

Boy do you exaggerate. She didn't interrupt him "several" times. Several = 4 or more. Also, she and Sen. Obama obviously have a close and respectful relationship where he doesn't dominate her. And I'll willing to bet my last dollar she would not and will not put up with "other women" the way Hillary does. Go Michelle!!!!

[raskolnikov72]

damn. newsflash: black people are not inherently corrupt, un-intelligent, and incapable of leading. There is a science called neurology that in the last 30 years has proven that. Particularly in the last 5-10 years through functional magnetic resonance imaging that demonstrates the things that have the most impact on ones intellectual and emotional development is one's environment. please wake up and join the 21st century.

[newzzzjunkie]

A President with a real sense of humor. He has an unusual combination of intelligence, eloquence, and foresight. He is filled with charm, wit and honesty. He stands by his values and convictions. He gives us hope where there was none. He stays on his positive message. He doesn't handle situations with a hot head or a big mouth.. He will unifies us. He even plays basketball. He's perfect for the job. And he's supported by millions of everyday people like me. Obama '08

[RockerfellerFile]

"He gives us hope where there was none." What does that mean? Hope for what?

Recall, Obama's support emanates primarily from African-Americans, the youth, the far left wing, and people, perhaps like you, who lack knowledge of the world and what is really happening. Studies have consistently shown that American youth are so ignorant of world issues that they can't locate Iraq or Florida on a map. And, when one of these people is that ignorant, they base their decisions on pure emotion. Hence, they are attracted to inspirational speeches ala Barack Obama.

[newzzzjunkie]

What does McCain give you hope for? 100 more years in Iraq, more of our sons and daughters killed, our money wasted, the same old Bush policies, loopholes for the rich? What does Hilary give you hope for? The same old divisive Washington politics, the election year campaign promises, the fabricated stories, the drama, the lobbyists? Obama gives me and millions of other people hope for a new era in Washington and the World. He gives me hope that we won't get involved in needless wars anymore. Hope for a world in peace. He gives us hope for our future. and our children's future. Hope that we will finally get out of Iraq, hope that we will find alternative energy sources, hope that people like you and me will get along someday. Hope for an end to racism and hate. The old ways do not work anymore.....it's time for change. I am not young and I'm not African American and Obama's words are not just inspirational speeches...they are the words that reflect his soul and his character and his intelligence. I've been around many years and his is the best, most qualified candidate EVER. OBAMA '08

[generationyes]

So, you're saying that AAs, young people and people on the "far left" dont know enough about the world and therefore are not qualified to pick a president? You are dismissing millions of people because YOU know better than them? And you people talk about Barack Obama being an elitist?? Well, O Might One, please tell us poor blacks and young people how do we get to be so wise as you???

[WHATISTHIS]

ignorant, they base their decisions on emotions!!

So master the student didn't vote along with you to start a war! HHHhhhhmmm.
They want change so lets call them stupid!!!!

Call me Judas, call me Bill Richardson, call me black, call me white, call me unpatroatic.
good try maybe after the year 2016

STILL VOTING BARACK OBAMA 2008-2016

[Larry of Corrales]

I am a 66 year old Hispanic male and voted for Obama in the New Mexico primary and intend to vote for him in the election. It would be interesting to guess as to who you would be supporting. My guess would be McCain as the closest thing you could get to being able to vote for the little Bush one last time.

[Sabreen60]

Post your SOURCES for these studies. You lie. The "ignorant" youth as you call them are dying in Iraq and they have died in every war. The "ignorant" youth were essential to the civil rights movement and the anti-war Vietnam protests. You should be ashamed of yourself. You and your pathetic superiority attitude are not needed, period.

[whatchamean]

Obama has won the nomination but you wouldn't know it to watch the cable news shows.

[Tulka2]

President Obama! The fact of that acomplishment will mean we have taken a turn towards the light. It will signal to the world that the people of the United States are smart enough not to have to struggle through 200 years of empire (ala England) in order to get wise. Not because he is an African American, but because he is smart.

[ann1]

I loved it!!!

[leftoflennon]

Thanks Senator. Brought a smile to my face last night.

[whiteykeepsmedown]

Looks like its going to be a big democratic year, after the '06 elections. But what do we do? We choose a young african american with a muslim name who has been in the senate for 5 minutes as the presidential candidate. Obama's experience amounts to playing on the Hawaii championship basketball team, and living in indonesia. Oh yeah, and all of his wonderful teachings from Rev. Wright. He is enlightened and worldly. Geez. Are there republican agents working at the head of the DNC?

[chi]

Can't you chill a little bit,what's that got to do with the video?

[QuietObserver]

Thank you for your enlightened analysis. You apparently know all there is to know about Senator Obama, from his skin color all the way to the "sound" of his name. Way to do your homework.

But FYI: you left out his legal and academic accomplishments, his leadership on government transparency and cleaning up loose nukes and improving conditions for soldiers at Walter Reed Med Center, his rating with the League of Conservation voters (highest of any candidate), his early opposition to the invasion of Iraq, and his entire career as a state legislator.

And by the way, the voters put Obama in the lead, not the head of the DNC.

[reelcobra]

Not to mention the way he has demonstrated that he can work with the opposition and unite everybody, when he inrtoduced that bill on Immigration with Senator Kennedy, and the bill on campaign finance reform with Russ Feingold, and that Gang of 14 deal he pulled off.

BHO '08!!

[FindlayDemocrat]

Be careful of what you say, because Obama will tear McCain to pieces once he gets the nomination, and it won't take very long to do it, with all McCain's so-called "flip-flops" (as the right calls it) and inconsistencies. Because of the Democratic squabble, McCain has gotten a free ride. Not for long. As we know, all free rides must come to an end.

[TooLooze]

Yeah, we need experienced people like Cheney and Rumsfeld. They certainly had the wisdom to put our country on the right track. We need someone who has been a governor and has the experience to lead a nation like Bush. Four more years!

[duze]

Why would a judge allow Hillary to take a bow after being involved in the biggest fraud case in this coutry. www.paterpaul.com How can this happen, this is deceiving the american people. If Obama's life and his association with Reverend Wright can be dragged across ever news outlet in this country. Certainly this is NEWS.

[ImLeft]

other people attended that fundraiser who knew Peter Paul. No one knew what he was doing, and Hillary was not part of it. Why dont you read about it.
