Why Barack Obama Stayed In The Church         That same nagging ugly question just won’t die for some people even after Senator Obama gave his powerful, heartfelt, transcending speech on race in America, the critics and the cynics are still having a hard time accepting and understanding why Senator Obama stayed in the church. In my opinion Senator Obama explain very clearly in his speech why he stayed in that church, some people got it, others did not. I will try and explain in its simplest form based on my politics of humanity, unconditional love and forgiveness. And perhaps we can bury this question of why Obama stayed in the church and move on to the more serious issues that have encroached upon our country threatening democracy for all of America as well as the rest of this world.    Senator Obama started out by telling the audience that he was the product of an interracial union, his father a black man from Kenya, his mother a white woman from Kansas. Obama’s father left when he was two and his grandparents raised him. Obama started out with an identity crisis he was a biracial kid a product of America’s tension black and white this was his reality. Obama’s birth father died  and from much of what I read he knew little of the man who had bestowed upon him such an exquisite name that would one day be recognize by the world.      I’m convinced from all of my research on Barack Obama that he stayed in that church because he was loved and loved unconditionally. Barack stayed in that church because he understands that we are all just human beings, imperfect by nature but can be perfected. Senator Obama said in his speech that they would sing and pray, laugh and cry, and hold onto each other in troubled times, I know that’s why he stayed because he found hope. Obama stayed in that church despite Dr. Wright’s call of justice on America he still served his country by enlisting in the United States Marine Corp, Barack understands that you can condemn something or someone and still love them. It’s like when a child does something wrong as a parent you may condemn their wrongdoing but still love the child. Barack stayed in that church because of the HIV Program Dr. Wright created, he stayed because he saw how that church wanted to help people of all colors in the community and cared enough about the future of young people to start a SAT Program to help students improve test scores. Barack Obama, stayed in that church because Dr. Wright sent people from his ministry to provide support for prisoners people who most of the world have long forgotten. He saw Dr. Wright’s compassion for the hungry and how the church would provide for people the rest of the world deemed hopeless. Barack stayed in that church because he saw the entire man, he stayed because he found the father he never had who sometimes said things he didn’t agree with. Senator Obama understands that love is deeper than our disagreements and differences I understand why Senator Obama stayed in that church not because of hate but because of love and the audacity hope. Barack Obama is a man of faith, principle and integrity, he’s our guy and we love him unconditionally. Vote Barack Obama 2008 ! Not This Time ! Yes We Can!   

    I must admit Hillary Clinton’s strategy to use reverse psychology on the big cable networks by whining and playing the poor me card, got her what she wanted control of the message and the media. It’s  very obvious that Hillary and Bill Clinton were infuriated that the media was not giving them the power and control in which they feel they so rightful deserve. The Clinton’s launched an all out assault on the media claiming Hillary of all people was being treated unfair, even after she lost eleven consecutive contest it was the media that kept her in the game. Billary’s plan was to have the media tear Senator Obama apart and the Clinton’s were pist that their wishes were being ignored, so she protested vehemently that the big networks assist her Oh No We Can’t Movement! And much to my surprise the big cable networks, their reporters, and so-called journalist all fell in line like little rats on a crumb! After Hillary’s recruitment of SNL in the game of her unfair treatment, the media was ready to submit and concede that not even they can withstand the powerful manipulation of the Clinton’s. So it a appears as though Bill and Hillary Clinton get to say what ever they want ,about whom ever they choose, but yet Hillary Clinton has no problem censoring those in which she disagree. For example a reporter for MSNBC  by the name of David Schuster who normally reports on (Hard Ball) made a remark about her twenty-eight year old daughter Chelsea Clinton and Hillary Clinton did not approve of the remark so, Hillary Clinton true to herself wrote a letter to Mr. Schuster’s bosses at MSNBC and had him suspended for a very long time. The Clinton obviously feel as though free speech only applies to themselves. Instead of the media finding out why a major candidate for the presidency won’t release her tax returns, and what it is she is hiding by refusing to release White House papers. Reporters would rather report subliminal messages about whether or not Obama is a Christian or Muslim. Hillary and Bill also negotiated a deal with the Big Network bosses to give Chelsea Clinton a national platform as well as national media coverage to deliver her message uninterrupted and without media scrutiny. No reporters, journalist, or any other people in the media are allowed to talk to Chelsea Clinton, but they are allowed to cover her while she speaks to her audience. How is this democracy, when one family gets to control major networks and the message to the American people. Michelle Obama was vilified, accused of being unpatriotic, the media reported day and night on what Michelle Obama said in Wisconsin : For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country. ” MSNBC’S version of the tape even had the word really edited out so that host could reap his desired opinion which was to get Americans to believe that the Obama’s are unpatriotic people,CNN, CSPAN, and the New York Times ran the quote correct. Is this type of Hatch-N Patch editing a violation of one’s constitutional rights of free speech unabridged? Was this fair to Michelle Obama? Is it fair that the Clinton’s control the media? What about the American people and the truth? I conclude that Hillary has no standing to go negative and she should consider herself very lucky that Senator Obama is a true gentleman, because after all Senator Obama is not the one who has embrassed the Country or the American people with sex scandals, impeachment, whitewater, travel gate, a failed health care program, NAFTA, Monica Lewinsky, Jennifer Flowers, and Paula Jones. The questions reporters should be asking Hillary and Bill Clinton but seem to afraid, is what scandals await the American people this  go around! The media has not been biased towards Hillary Clinton if anything the big networks have aided her in her campaign of fear, ambiguity and negativity.
