Why can't people just be honest? Think of how different history would be if Richard Nixon had just said, "Yes, they broke in. I fired them, and they'll have to get their own lawyers." Or, if Bill Clinton had just said, "I did have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. It was wrong, and I'm deeply ashamed of myself." (Even if he didn't mean it, he should have said it.)
In an effort to quell the rising tide of unfavorable press concerning the perfectly disgusting comments and tirades made by his pastor and mentor, BO is continuing that longstanding tradition. Instead of instantly denouncing Mr. Wright's hateful rhetoric and making other arrangements for Sunday services, BO is claiming, rather disingenuously I might add, that he never heard any of that stuff. 'Cause boy if he had, he would have done something.
Give me a break.
If BO can honestly say that he attended a church for 20 years and had no idea of what his pastor was about, then I submit he just wasn't paying attention, and no man that oblivious to the true character of one of his closest friends should be anywhere near the Oval Office, except as a guest of the Republican occupant.
