Hillary Clinton, in an interview with the Pittsburgh Tribune Review editorial board, said Barack Obama chose Reverend Wright as his pastor, and that he (Wright) would not have been her pastor. In her remarks she said "he would not have been my pastor. … You don't choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend."
According to the paper, Clinton continued: "You know, I spoke out against Don Imus [who was fired from his radio and television shows after making racially insensitive remarks], saying that hate speech was unacceptable in any setting, and I believe that. … I just think you have to speak out against that. You certainly have to do that, if not explicitly, then implicitly by getting up and moving."
Is Hillary making the case that Obama showed poor judgement by choosing to remain a member of Reverend Wright's church. I would hazard a guess that she is making that argument. This would seriously undercut the advantage Obama's has had over Hillary when he touts his superior judgement in "speaking out against the war."

The Bill Clinton comment about patriotism was fair now that we know BO has been listening to Anti-American sentiments for 20 years. How can someone then expect us to give him the job as President of The United States when he harbors these sentiments? Oprah left the Church and the Reverend Wright laid into her. He went after Tiger Woods, Colin Powell, Condolessa Rice and Clarence Thomas, and these are black people! I could not believe he called Condoleeza (Condoskeezer) Rice. I am not a Republican, I don't like their positions, or policies (Powell, Rice and Thomas) but I disagree with the personal attacks against them. If anything, he should be arguing against sexism because it was the MEN in the Senate that voted for Thomas’s tenure on the Supreme Court and characterized Anita Hill as a liar.
BO sent a picture to the NY Times showing Bill Clinton shaking Reverend Wright's Hand at the Prayer Breakfast. What is he trying to imply, that this picture is equivalent to him remaining in this church for 20 years, listening to the Anti-American rantings of Reverend Wright? This is plain dumb. I am sure Bill Clinton has NEVER heard Reverend Wright used on the tapes, and if he did he would have walked out...just like Oprah Winfrey.
