You know FIT, it is one thing to attack the argument but when you start attacking the person that is going too far. Unless you walk in someones shoes you can't in any way judge how they should handle a situation. For someone who is so in-tune with the black situation and how bad you feel for them, you do not show the same consideration to a peer on this board. So why do you feel so much for the black person?

You owe Queen an apology. You were not in her shoes and to judge her the way you did was wrong. This is a debate about Obama, his values, whether he is lying or not, etc. This is not about why she closed her salon and whether or not you would have done the same. She did it, she had her reasons and to her they were good reasons. And SHE is not running for president of the United States.

Lastly, I am offended by your use of blasphemy in your speaking. Would you ever use your mothers name the same way you used the creator of the universe? I don't think so? Since when do we swear using that and think it's ok?

A healthy debate is good for all but when you stoop to demeaning someone else, swearing, etc it then takes away from the debate and we get nowhere.

The topic is Obama and his relationship with his preacher. When you sit under a preacher for 20 years and tell the world that he is your spiritual mentor and that he guides you then that preacher comes out and speaks hate against the very country that you want to be president of that is a concern, hopefully for all Americans.

This church's foundation is in Africa. Before all the huge press on this their website was full of information that is gone now. They believe the USA is 2nd to Africa and that is where their allegience is. They honored Louis Farakhan (sp?) in their church? Was Obama in that ceremony? I don't know but would be interested to find that out.

There are just too many concerns about him to me.
