NY Times: Obama's Speech on Wright "Profile in Courage".....

Beyond the absolute fucking insanity of comparing Obama's speech to ones given by Lincoln, FDR, and JFK.  The NY Times excuses Obama for being the close friend of a racist, black-supremacist "reverend" because it's "none of our business."  Excuse me assholes it is our business, that is, if he wants to be President....

There are moments — increasingly rare in risk-abhorrent modern campaigns — when politicians are called upon to bare their fundamental beliefs. In the best of these moments, the speaker does not just salve the current political wound, but also illuminates larger, troubling issues that the nation is wrestling with.

Inaugural addresses by Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt come to mind, as does John F. Kennedy’s 1960 speech on religion, with its enduring vision of the separation between church and state. Senator Barack Obama, who has not faced such tests of character this year, faced one on Tuesday. It is hard to imagine how he could have handled it better.

Mr. Obama had to address race and religion, the two most toxic subjects in politics. He was as powerful and frank as Mitt Romney was weak and calculating earlier this year in his attempt to persuade the religious right that his Mormonism is Christian enough for them.

It was not a moment to which Mr. Obama came easily. He hesitated uncomfortably long in dealing with the controversial remarks of his spiritual mentor and former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., who denounced the United States as endemically racist, murderous and corrupt.

On Tuesday, Mr. Obama drew a bright line between his religious connection with Mr. Wright, which should be none of the voters’ business, and having a political connection, which would be very much their business. The distinction seems especially urgent after seven years of a president who has worked to blur the line between church and state.

"He was as powerful and frank as Mitt Romney was weak and calculating earlier this year in his attempt to persuade the religious right that his Mormonism is Christian enough for them."

Is Obama's Black Supremacist church Christian enough?

The real question here is Barack Hussein Obama's connections with Islam and what that could portend for our country and the world. MSM was always pumping BHO's 'Christian church' ties in order to silence any real investigation into the Moslem influence in his early and present-day life. Since I think the jury here is all agreed that his 'church' is nothing of the sort, just a front for black supremacism and Marxist concepts, let's get back to what should be on the radar screen.
