With a tip of the ballcap to Ben Smith:
OBAMA: I will be honest with you that I didn’t have that many conversations with him over the last year just because I have been so busy. I haven’t been going to church. I wasn’t hearing a lot of these comments. The ones that are most offensive are ones that I never knew about until they were reported on. I had had conversations with him in the past – in fact from the day I first met him — about some of his views. Understand this, something else that has not been reported on enough is despite these very offensive views, this guy has built one of the finest churches in Chicago. This is not a crackpot church.
Sure, it’s not. And you’re not a racist, and you’re qualified to be the President of the United States. And I’m the Walrus, koo koo kerchoo.
Witness the fact that Bill Clinton invited him to the White House when he was having his personal crises.
Well, you’re the only one, apparently, who doesn’t understand what that was about… a matter of personal convienience… and political necessity. He needed legitimacy after being caught with his pants around his ankles, and thought having someone with the facade of a minister would help him do that. Tell me, Has Bill Clinton been back to the place since? No? I shouldn’t need to explain all this to you, Barrack. Someone claiming to be qualified to be President should have the common sense, to understand this already.
Or the guts to publicly identify all this as what it is.
You have neither.
