HILLARY CLINTON tried to deflect embarrassment over her exaggerated account of a trip to Bosnia by saying she would have left the church her rival attends because of critical remarks by his pastor.
Mrs Clinton's comments marked a clear shift in her handling of the Barack Obama church controversy.

The Rev Jeremiah Wright has suggested US policies in the Middle East were partly responsible for 9/11.

watch Mr Wright's sermons on YouTube...

Wright doesnt "suggest" much... he SCREAMS it from the pulpit...

his rants are racist... divisive, and not "helpful" to the african american community as a whole...

oh and while you are watching Wrights youtube rants... watch the crowd in the background... if these were anomolies in his sermon fare... wouldnt you think there would be shock in the crowd? instead of widespread glad handing and adulation?

and obama sat there for TWENTY YEARS... tacitly agreeing with Wrights diatribes... (and "tacitly" is being VERY generous)

by a long history of agreeing with wright, obama has neutered himself... hes done... unelectable... at least for THIS election cycle

Of course Hilary would have left the church! Being the flawless - not to say opinionless - person that she is, she would have put a nautical mile between herself and a pastor she disagreed with.

Beats being human, I guess.

In the first place, Hillary only attends church when it is politically expediant for her to do so. The truly sad thing about all of this is that Obama has been attending church for 20 years and has learned nothing about what the One True God thinks. He approves of same sex unions, partial birth abortions, abortions, and conforms to the beliefs of the anti christs world view.

As for Hillary "Jezebel" Clinton, I pray that she will stop trying to wear the pants in her family and my sincere hope is that she will stop lying to the American people. I wonder if lying is contageous? Do you think she might have caught it from her husband?

NO...I am not a Bush supporter, nor do I support McCain. If a true man or woman of God ever runs for the presidency, I'd work my tail of helping to get that person elected. Wish in one hand and scoop up turkey doo with the other and see which fills up faster. In the mean time, all we get for presidential candidates are ego maniacs who think their poo dont stink. They're so busy trying to convince us that they have all the right answers for everything, while serving the desires of their own bellies.

Remember this FACT: The only time you can tell that a politician is lying is when his or her lips are moving.

On second thought, what truly christian person would want to be the president of this nation? Even if our Lord Jesus Christ was elected to the office, he'd have to stike 'em all blind, but that wouldn't really hurt the gaggle of crooked politicians on capital hill. After all, they're already blind.

Senator Clinton hardly "attacked" Wright. She answered a question asked by a reporter.
