Posted in: Op-Ed: Tough questions about Obama needed to be asked
11/10/08 06:29 PM
On April 22, when Hillary Clinton was asked what she would do if Iran attacked Israel with nuclear weapons, her response was that she would have U.S. forces attack Iran. President-elect Obama's response was that her language was much too strong. I guess he would want to have dialog with the Iranians to discuss next steps. We all know that President-elect Obama has publicly rejected the support of Louis Farrakhan. We also know that Barak Obama left the Trinity Church at the very end of May of 2008 when the he took heat about the somewhat radical sermons and writings of his religious mentor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. I would like to hear the answer to one simple question. Why did Barak Obama not leave Trinity Church at the beginning of November 2007 when the church held a gala event at the Chicago Hyatt Regency and honored Louis Farrakhan there with a lifetime achievement award? This wasn't something that happened many years ago, like the William Ayers issue. This happened just 12 months ago. I try to imagine the uproar that probably would have occurred if it was revealed that John McCain attended a chuch that gave, say for instance, David Duke its Man of the Year award. Please help me understand this. Blessings to all.
