Reader comment on:
Obama's Moment

Submitted by Laura, Mar 18, 2008 12:52

It is absurd to believe that Senator Obama was unaware of his pastor's radical views. The fact that he does not acknowledge this raises serious concerns about his beliefs. I sincerely hope that the American public will look beyond his gifted way with words and consider what he would do if elected president. He repeatedly emphasizes that words do matter. I agree, but I think he is choosing his words very carefully to conceal what he really is. The media has given him a pass far too long. Let's see what a GOOD investigative reporter can unearth about his views. They have certainly done that to McCain and Clinton.
