What do we drink to?

Michelle quit too.

CNN isn't showing it!

CNN and MSNBC not covering this speech?

I am not fooled by this late awakening.

maybe he'll convert to Judaism ... he needs "The Tribe" to support him if he expects to win.

lot's of uhhhs!

He's throwing the church bus under the bus, too? Wow, that's some big bus he has.

re: #3 Charles

I'm looking at CNN.....

Big discussions with family and friends and praying with pastors - such an obvious decision - and he spends weeks making up his mind.

Not leadership material

re: #3 Charles

It's on the web feed.

First words were a lie. "I'm glad to see you guys."

re: #12 Killgore Trout

It's on the web feed.

But not on TV

What "church" will he join now?

If you guys have a drink every time he says "uh" you will pass out in 5 minutes.

on FOX,

drink word is --aahhhh--

He's making a tremendous case for NOT leaving!
It is just that their MOUTHS get in the way!

What kind of tread does Obama's bus' tires have?

CNN covering the gas crisis.

If he loses the general election, my money says he's back in the church.

I've sent ther baby Lizard to bring me an Applelicious beverage...

re: #16 Dolphin

What "church" will he join now?

NOI

The CNN video says that Obama will take questions after his speech. I wonder which college student in attendance knows anything about radicalized churches.

It is the medias fault!

Once again I remind everyone that it was not 2.5 months ago this same man said he could no more divorce himself of Wright or Trinity Church than he could his own family. Yet he wound up doing so anyway. If this isn't enough proof that he is a shallow hack fool I don't know what is.

/pulls on hip waders

getting deep

The audacity of scrutiny!

He seems depressed.

Here he starts with the victimhood routine....

re: #3 Charles

CNN isn't showing it!

No surprise there.

Forest Lake and Wyoming, Minnesota have a tornado warning.

Calling up sick and shut-ins!

whining about the media?

LOL

Whining about the news coverage again.

re: #16 Dolphin

What "church" will he join now?

To repeat myself...

Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show

re: #6 Carolyn

I am not fooled by this late awakening.

There's 1.
299,999,999 to go.

Ladies and Gentlemen to demonstrate CHANGE I'm throwing TUCC under the bus with Grandma, Rev. Wright and others. I HOPE you don't notice.

Thank you,
B. Hussein.

re: #28 Sizzlack

Good recall. Yes. I wonder if one of the students/reporters will remind him of his words and ask for an explanation.

Out of sheer orneriness, I'm posting this again, because no one seems to have noticed it:

Magic Bus

by the Who, Me?

Every day I add to the queue (too much, magic bus)
of folks to throw under the bus -- like you. (too much, magic bus)
They're so nervous, they just sit and smile (too much, magic bus)
Your time is coming, just wait a while. (too much, magic bus)

Thanks Rev. Wright, for getting me here (too much, magic bus)
Without your sermons I'd be stuck on my rear. (too much, magic bus)
I don't want to cause no fuss (too much, magic bus)
But can I throw you under my Magic Bus? (too much, magic bus)

re: #31 DistantThunder

He seems dRepressed.

Racists!

Barry II: The Awakening

....."not fair".

See, he is making it America's problem, not his. Every time anybody says anything at the church people connect it to him.

he's on FOX live.

Blame the news!

so he only left the church to give them a break from his overshadowing halo?

just let them hate in peace.

"Change you can believe in."

You know another phrase regarding change? "The more things change, the more they stay the same." The more I see of Obama, the more he reminds me of Jimmy Carter.

A loose cannon rolling about on the deck of a ship is more likely to sink the ship it's on than harm the enemy. What we have here is a loose cannon.

Obama wants to be Social Worker in Chief.

I'm guessing this means he'll be missing Sunday sermons for a while now.

re: #16 Dolphin

What "church" will he join now?

I would suggest the Church of Scientology and their Sea Org but that comes a bit close to suggesting violence.

You media people ar ebashing the church! Yep, that far right media like CNN and NBC and ABC et al.... are just right wing hit machines.

The Audacity of Scrutiny!

Kernak: "Trinity, Trinity and Trinity"

Mayo Jar: "Name a huge explosion, a gigantic trio and a monumental mess"

OT

re: #26 hermeneutics

You probably didn't see it, but on an earlier thread I noticed you know some folks with Wheaton's Billy Graham mission program. Do you know Roy Oksnevad by any chance?

he's playing the victim.

He is doing exactly what he shouldn't be doing.

He did it for the church!

/what a guy

Bush may have the fault of being too loyal to his friends but obama has no loyalty to anyone but himself

brushed it right off.

Hold on tight, white Grandma. You are next!

re: #41 zombie

I can hear Pete Townsend in the background. Very funny!

Can't I just finish my church service?

I think he should join Frank Church

He wishes he could stay but the media has been harassing the sick people in Trinity. The choice is clear.

Great judgement. Only discussed leaving AFTER Trinity went Nat'l, cuz before that, it was all good.

re: #58 NoSubmission

he's always playing the victim.

re: #31 DistantThunder

He seems depressed.

Agreed.

Little pad added to his shoulders?

Oh, that's it. Issue over! Let's move on now, people.

Trinity will be having a Waffle Breakfast tomorrow.

re: #65 Charles

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA

re: #57 mama winger

No, but the name is strangely familiar. I'll look him up.

I'm officially returning my Klan card.

Can i run for President now?

oooo ,,,, he's going to open it up for questions,,,,

Braids in the front row,,

"If you were a tree ,,,,,, "

Can't wait for the softball press questions.

Bob and weave, repeat.

Quote:

Mr. Wright, who has long prided himself on criticizing the establishment, said he knew that he may not play well in Mr. Obama’s audition for the ultimate establishment job.

“If Barack gets past the primary, he might have to publicly distance himself from me,” Mr. Wright said with a shrug. “I said it to Barack personally, and he said yeah, that might have to happen.”

Wow... he is really self-obsessed and weak here in this speech,
and he is blaming the media for the whole thing.
Really not an intelligent move.
Obama is actually exhibiting foot-in-mouth disease. So much for the orator-in-chief.......

He's going to take questions. This should be interesting.

Racist church? What racist church?

/Obama Nation

He seems to have a blank flag on his lapel. I think that's smart.

The Church of Whats Happenin' Now!

Uh, I think I, uh, counted 97 uhs during those three minutes.

The Wizard of Uhhhs.

The Dem convention should be a hoot!

i cant believe they are going to be so blatant about denying florida and mich voters will.
hope that bites them in the ass come the general

re: #71 unrealizedviewpoint

Little pad added to his shoulders?

Looks like it, doesn't it?

So he didn't leave because the church was a problem, he left because the press was a problem.

re: #78 NoSubmission

Can't wait for the softball press questions.

The Audacity of Questions.

He'll be back

Still no coverage on CNN tv? Heh.

I bet he really wants a smoke right now

re: #82 Killgore Trout

He's going to take questions. This should be interesting.

Want to bet?

Get ready for softballs.

re: #57 mama winger

Email me, Mama. Jeez, I'm giving out my address twice in a week!

I did NOT have church with that man, Rev Wright.

What a tool.

Neither MSNBC or CNN are covering the speech here, FOX has it on. MSNBC is doing some drama/crime show, not even news.

Like I said, someone has to drive the getaway bus ya know...

/Obama's busy throwing stuff under it

"how the democrats are going to improve their lives"

How about STAYING THE F*** OUT OF MINE

Question: do you feel this will put the issue behind you?

Well, uh uh uh, uh, you know...

Obama's chickensssssssss, are coming home to roosssssssssssst

re: #81 tradewind

Wow... he is really self-obsessed and weak here in this speech,
and he is blaming the media for the whole thing.
Really not an intelligent move.
Obama is actually exhibiting foot-in-mouth disease. So much for the orator-in-chief.......

Biting the hand that feeds him?

UH UH WELL ummm uh

Karnak

"We prayed on it"

give me a break

With that whistle B.O. has when he speaks...

I'd like to see him recite his rendition of "Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore"

re: #101 Charles

Uh X 4

drink
drink
drink
drink

let them get back to worshiping God

/funny they didn't do that in any of the sermons I heard

re: #87 jetpilot1101

The Dem convention should be a hoot!

HRC should ask that Rev. Wright give the opening prayer.

re: #96 hermeneutics

Gotcha! It may take a bit. Email has been funny.

My imagination or is he leaning quite a bit, Body Tilt.

Damn, my feed is delayed.

This doesn't matter. He needed to do this years ago. Everytime that poor excuse for a church pulls another "wright" out on stage, it's going to get airtime.

Sorry Barry, you blew it.

re: #21 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

What kind of tread does Obama's bus' tires have?

At this point he would have to use this:

[Link: en.wikipedia.org...]

Wait did he just say hes leaving the church because he doesnt want a spotlight on Trinity church? Ahhwhaa?

omg he just admitted the church cant handle teh scrutiny hahahaha

He had to pray about it - when it seems like an obvious, rational choice to leave - actually run

We don't want to have to answer for everything stated in the church - also don't want the church under scrutiny - heh.

Rev Moss is an agitator and should not be subject to scrutiny

So the slobbering media who gave him a free pass was harassing infirmed people?

Uh, where's the evidence?

"I HOPE they CHANGE the subject now." - BHO

re: #86 JammieWearingFool

Been in "Toastmasters"?

problemattica.

re: #94 Sizzlack

I bet he really wants a smoke right now

If Obama ever breezes through the Bay Area again harvesting Billionaire Bucks, this time I'm hovering outside every single venue he goes to in an attempt to catch pictures of him smoking.

He's got a nicotine jag -- just like Christopher Hitchens did when I saw him.

re: #97 sngnsgt

I did NOT have church with that man, Rev Wright.

lol

Game over, now can I just eat my words?

Why am I thinking about that scene from "The Jerk": "He shouldn't be too hard to find. He'll be towing a small church."?

re: #94 Sizzlack

One big GroupHookah comin' up!

re: #49 NoSubmission

just let them hate in peace.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! I can hear it now. "I do not support what those people now believe. I never have. We grew apart."

In my opinion this is simply a strategy move. They are now free to be as crazy as they want. It's not his church.

His apologists will cry foul in every way possible if ANYONE ever mentions the church again. Never mind that he was a member for 22 years.

Awww- the Audacity of Campaigning....made him leave his church.

Total bullshit. He can throw that so called church out of his life, but the radical socialist program is still in his heart. I hear nothing but political expediency.

Why is no one else's church under scrutiny?

He's really stuttering now.

It's the right thing to do.

We don't want this church scrutinized.

/heh, I bet you don't.

You know, Obama, if the church had stuck with Scriptural sermons it would never have been an issue at all.

"How will this not be different if you join another church?"

hahahahahaha

re: #36 Charles

Whining about the news coverage again.

Hot house flower child!

He's doing it "for the church"

He stutters like a fiend.

The 'fury of a cable program'?
He's really off the deep end now.

I'm gonna become an Episcopalian...

So if he wasn't running for president, he'd still belong to the church? And when he is not running he's going to rejoin the church? I hope they nail him on that..

So he's doing this for the church? ?

I could no more disown this church than I could disown my own white grandmother who let me eat my waffles and served me arugula...

Oh, wait, I will disown this church now, because it is politically expedient to do so, but I still support unconditional talks with any member of the church...
