Sad to see you adopt the questionable logic of Obama's critics.
Did he tolerate and embrace the people who enaged in vocal attacks on the US or did he tolerate what they said? Big difference. Had it been his mother, what then?
We seem to be creating a whole new standard for presidential candidates, escpecially for black ones. A black man today is likely to have heard many, many diatribes by his fellow black men against the oppression he and his brethern have experineced for many, many years in this country. How can we expect them to disown every one of them now that he is a candidate for president. Is the same standard applied to white critics of the US?

How can we elect such a person to be the Commander in Chief of our armed forces?

I don't plan to elect him and will work against him. I'm voting McCain. But I will not tolerate reverse bigotry as a tool for defeating another candidate no matter who he is. That's going backwards, and there's no two ways about it. Search your heart.
