May 1, 200818 yr A little to late. I still think and believe that he knew all along what Wright was like and what he believed in, and I can't help think that Obama feels some of this also. This man was his mentor for years. I agree. Obama is a day late and a dollar short.
May 1, 200818 yr I agree. Obama is a day late and a dollar short. Between Obama's and Oprah's money as well, he will never be "a dollar short".....or even a few million short for that matter. He does some radical friends and ideas though.:scared:
May 1, 200818 yr If he would have done what he is now when it first came out, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Yes , you would.
May 1, 200818 yr Yes , you would.No, I wouldn't. I'd be hammering him on his many other issues he's wrong on.

He does some radical friends and ideas though.:scared: OR, you are probably right there in the realistic sense. It is just too late to back-pedal on that issue now. Here is something I've wondered about: Who do our troops say they support? In this time of war, who do they see as the top choice for the next commander-in-chief? As a civilian, there is no clear cut candidate. I'd be interested in hearing from some of the servicemen, active or otherwise, out there in BGP land.

You make a very good point incognito, I have not heard anything on who our troops support. I hope to hear from that side (our Military) before the elections and I am sure that we will. I don't come over to the P&R side very often so I don't know if this has been ask or mentioned before. That is a very good question. :thumb:
May 1, 200818 yr Active duty troops aren't supposed to give political opinions. It's an ethical issue.
May 1, 200818 yr ^ Obviously they are not going to come out as a group or unit on the issue but I am pretty sure that members of our military have a vote though. I know some personally and one family member that would give me a pretty good take on it though. I'll make sure that I do not pass it on in a public forum, ................it's an ethical issue. I have not decided myself on who to vote for yet but I will not say who I vote for once I do decide.
