He ain't rich. And he ain't privileged. Hillary fits the mold. Barack knows what it means to be a black man living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people.

Is this guy talking about Ivy League educated United States Senator Barack Obama? 

I am going to be honest knowing that I might get hammered here.

I started out a Democrat and my first election was the primaries in '76. I joined my local Dem Club and before going to a meeting that was going to have the reps of each of the candidates I did research in a college library. I am a faithful Jew but not anywhere near orthodox. So Israel is always one important issue with me.  

The research I did showed strong anti-Israel sentiment by Jimmy Carter before he ever thought about running for President. I did not vote for him in either election. But was surprised that the other Jewish people did not bother to look past the party affiliation and his campaign rhetoric which was pro-Israel. We have seen since his true beliefs which are consistent with his early writings.  

Other than his campaign rhetoric, we have nothing to base an opinion on with Obama other than his limited Senate record which is empty. Therefore we can only project what a President Obama would do on (1) his past associations and (2) his advisors.  

Based on that criteria I truly believe that a President Obama would subject Israel to the biggest war it has ever faced. I never felt that way about any candidate since Carter.  

Obama’s affiliation with his Pastor will leave too many unanswered questions that he will need to resolve and doubtfully will. I believe it will turn off many Democratic Jews from voting for him again.  

Then there is his foreign policy advisors: Zbigniew Brzezinski (Mika's dad), Robert Malley, and Samantha Power. You could not find more anti-Israel foreign policy experts and should cancel out his convenient rhetoric of support for Israel. While he may have “fired” Power from his campaign, does anyone doubt she would play a major role in foreign policy?

I do not know how any knowledgeable and self-respecting Jew could possible place a vote for Barak Obama. Whatever Jew does is either unaware of Obama’s past and his affiliations/advisors or they place Party loyalty over their faith and support of Israel.

Mika may have been downplaying Wright in support of her father.

Zbigniew Brzezinski, former national security advisor to Jimmy Carter, is currently a top foreign policy advisor to Barack Obama.

Does Mika Brzezinski ever disclose this information?

Ms. Farraro? was not correct a few days ago that Brother Obama would not be where he is today if he was not black. If he is still a candidate for POTUS  a week from now, she will have been ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ON.

If Billy Cunningham was not correct a few weeks ago to emphasize Brother Obama as Barack HUSSEIN Obama;;; if he is still a candidate for POTUS a week from now, Billy was very correct.

If Hillary Clinton hung in there last week, in a dilemma of mathmatical impossiblity to win the dem nomination for POTUS, she has been quite privy to the colorful (no pun intended) comments of Brother Wright.

If Brother Obama is still a candidate within another week, the MSMs are the biggest prodiginers of racism on the face of the earth and freedom in this country as we know it is in a very fragile condition. It would follow, then, that racial cleansing has proponents in at least one black church, the democrat party, the left and the main stream media.  

What does it matter where this controversy originated from, pray tell? The fact is Obama's long-time spiritual guide is a hate-filled racist - no matter who brought it up. Sheesh.

After years and years of Bush bashing isn't it refreshing to see the media change it's tune and support as well as defend a potential president?

"Forget change, I want improvement!"

I watched Morning Joe this morning. I use Mika to aggravate me so bad that I have to get up out of bed to take my blood pressure medication. I've posted on other items before how I cannot stand this ridiculous woman. First of all, to borrow a phrase from my son when he was 10 yrs old, "She thinks she's cool, but she is sooooo uncool"...LOL And I don't think Joe Scarborough does enough to squash her stupid interruptions. If this program would just get rid of her and keep Willie and Joe, I'd be a very happy woman.

One thing the MSM does, and I watched Anderson Cooper 360 last night, is they downplay this whole Rev. Wright thing like it's a fantasy of the Conservatives. Anderson Cooper, like Mika this morning, was gropeing for some sort of explanation of this preacher's behavior. He also was poo pooing the fact that Obama has to do something to get rid of this guy or lose the nomination.

What's beautiful about all of these video clips of this preacher is that they can't call us whites prejudice anymore. They have a much bigger skeleton in their closet and it's this Reverend. And Barack's holding this skeleton up like he's an icon.

There is nothing that Obama can say that would convince me to trust him after this. And Gerry Ferraro is still my hero at this point.

Democrats really have some bad luck with their spiritual advisors.

Remember when Bill (in the Holy District of Columbia) needed some spiritual, heads-up sexual healing during the Monica imbroglio he called in HIS advisor...

JESSE JACKSON

That worked out really well. Especially for the Jayster.

Vote 4 change. Vote 4 anything. See Jack & Mr Shy's first campaign ad for the ONLY viable 3rd party candidate.

What Rev. Wright said was not spiritual or redeeming in any way shape or form.  Personally,  I don't want any politics of any kind preached from the pulpit.  If churches want to preach politics, they can be taxed.

I am curious, did "Rev" Wright help Obama get off of cocaine, or convince him not to sell it to black folk?  

Thanks Mika for the pefect lesson on defending the indefensible.

Mika Brzezinski, based on watching her each morning on MSNBC for quite some time, has this belief system:

"I know the situation is "X", but I want to believe..."

That is the definitive end of the story for Mika and for many others on the left side of the aisle. Reality is completely and deliberately ignored.

I enjoy the complete seriousness with which Mika's delivers her fluffernutter fantasy commentary, her hard and direct look into the camera, her "I'm not kidding" eyebrow lift at the end. It's hilarious!
