Stupid, Lying Obama.

It almost hurts to watch.

Not content with throwing his longtime pastor and "mentor" under the bus, Barack Obama, Democratic presidential front-runner gets in, runs him over, and backs up to be sure, saying:

Had the reverend not retired, and had he not acknowledged that what he had said had deeply offended people and were inappropriate and mischaracterized what I believe is the greatness of this country, for all its flaws, then I wouldn't have felt comfortable staying at the church.

You sat there for 20 years without so much as a peep, but now you want us to believe that you would have left the church entirely?

You can tell a liar when his story keeps changing.

But even if the statement were true, accurately reflecting how Obama currently feels about Wright and his church, it says very little for Obama's character that he would respond to public opinion in such a way. I don't want a President who governs according the latest media frenzy. Say what you will about George W. Bush, but governing by opinion poll is not among his faults.
