Hi John,

Great job! Thanks so much for framing the Rev. Wright's sermon by playing more of the speech. I was curious, and I appreciate the coverage!

Lori, It is not about being accountable for words Wright said. It is about his judgement. Either he didn't know what was going on in his church for 20 years (pretty scary to be our President with no intuition), or he listened and accepted this hatred that was being spewed. I say that goes to judgement, character, and I question his belief system. In his speech he asked me a 37 year old white man to go back in time. Man we progressed so much in the last 40 years. Am I ignorant not to know that there is still some racial divide- Of course there is, but to blame me for it and not to explain why he continued going to this church and listening to this hatred doesn't get it. If he was such a uniter and trandsends race why did he do a speech on race? Why didn't he just answer the question about why he chose to go to a radical cult church that hates America? He should of just disowned him and moved on. I think this has cost him the election and it is sad.

What was it Pastor Wright said that was not true? You can disagree with a persons conclusions, however you must use the same set of facts since there is only one set.
Now as far as what one person desires to be blessed and another wants to be damned is certainly a matter of perspective. So before you get all patriotic and haughty check your position on this highway of life. And make sure you are honest about what you have heard in your churches and your homes, oh yea sanctify your own house first.

It seems that Obama's vision of one America doesn't include Florida and Michigan. Obama's not showing the leadership necessary to be the president of this one United States of America.

A real leader would fight to protect, rather than deny the rights of all Americans to participate in an election. Does he really think that we would support him in November after fighting so hard to silence us in the primary? I don't think putting his own personal interests above the rights of the American people is a good path to the White House.

Go Hillary!

I feel that Mr. Richardson backing Senator Obama is very important. Richardson, who is a close friend of the Clintons and knows them personally, is not letting his personal feelings interfering with what this nations need! It also shows that people realize in spite of what the media is trying to do with the sound bites of Rev. Wright that Senator Obama should not be held responsible for what another man said and those people still supporting the candidate that is about HOPE. Now that CNN has played more of the sermon you hear the sermon in its right context; you can get the real meaning of what REV. Wright was saying. You can not put government above God. There is no hate in that sermon!!

John,
Really enjoy your clear and unbiased perspectives....Thank you. Interesting the many comments I am hearing about "Richardson living to tell about his stand against the Clintons" as an incentive for fearful supers to step up

John,
Didn't McCain say he wouldn't mind staying in Iraq for 100 years AS LONG AS NO TROOPS GOT INJURED OR KILLED? Hello! We ARE in Iraq and troops have gotten killed and injured! What gives with him?

Good for Bay....I agree with her, I think Obama and Hillary have had the worse week of the campaign. I think Obama has lost alot of votes
over the Wright relationship.
It will be a tough election between McCain and Hillary, but McCain has had a good week. Good Luck to him.
Thank you for a good show and See you next week.

HRC3sure.....great point. I forgot about that. Between that and the fact that New Mexico was Hillary's, he really looks like an opportunist.

McCain can ask why Obama stood by and listened to someone say G-D America, but Obama can ask why did McCain help to do that to our economy and our troops when he voted for the war. I think Obama has the better argument.

I see. If it is U visa, it is ok to harrass? Is that what she is saying?

And now she is eligible for the U visa, so she can just kiss-off?

I am outraged!!!

Laura, Hear! hear! Like I have said here before, Love her or hate her, Hillary had been vetted in the most extreme ways imaginable. Her closets are open, the basement has been dug up. She has no secrets. We know it all, the good, the bad and the ugly, and guess what? She is still here, stronger than ever!

Governor Richardson's campaign was all about emphasizing his experience and the importance of experience as a presidential candidate and he endorses Obama, give me a break !
Governor Richardson is a so called "super-delegate" that is going to vote opposite of the New Mexico primary, granted it was close but it went to Hillary. There is nothing "super" about Richardson, he is out of step entirely !

Strange.........When John Murtha endorsed Hillary Clinton, CNN reported it, but that was about it. Now when Bill Richardson endorses Obama, suddenly it's a huge deal with Obama supporters waving signs in the background and Richardson singing the praises of Obama. I would think it would be a bigger deal to have Murtha who was the first to say we needed to get out of Iraq endorse Hillary Clinton whereby showing confidence in her to end the war. I've always said Hillary Clinton will win the presidency inspite of the media, certainly not because of its support. It appears to me that every time Obama gets in some kind of trouble, the press (media) tries to rescue him. He should not be a presidential candidate when he spent twenty years supporting a church and a pastor spewing such inflammatory, incendiary, unpatriotic rhetoric. I guess it should be no surprise that Malcolm X supports him!
