Default Re: Obama's pastor's comments.

How many TOTV users know politics within the African-American community though? This pastor just seems to be paying attention to the various concerns of his flock. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity...urch_of_Christ Barack Obama is one member of that flock but he is no sheep. You would have to be very opinionated and very strong with those opinions to make it through Harvard Law School and then have the fortitude to reject all the various very lucrative offers Mr. Obama must have received from some of the top law firms around the United States.

Think Barack Obama's actions speak louder than the words of some pastor in Chicago who happens to be a friend/mentor of Senator Obama.

I can understand some of the problems Barack Obama's wife has with the United States as well. It is still a different world for many whites as compared with the reality faced by many African Americans.

We have come a very long way but there is still a very long way to go with making Martin Luther King Jr's ideals in his "I Have a Dream" speech realities.

I did vote for Mr. Barack Obama so I am a little biased in my outlook and I have a sister-in-law who is of a shade quite a bit darker than Mr. Barack Obama.
