Yesterday he said he wasn't there when the minister gave those speeches and he had never heard him say those things before. Today he said something toally different. I have a problem with double standards. When Trent Lott, who I am not a fan of, said some nice things about Sen Thurman on his 100th birthday, the dems tore him apart because it might be racist. Now Obama defends the minister making racist remarks and goes to this church for 20 years and he makes kissy face with the press and everything is ok.

Can you see what kind of coverage a Republican would get if his minister was making the same kind of statements about blacks that Obama's minister said about whites. Which one would have been called a rasist and which one would be allowed to play kissy face?
