		<description>Obama lies to viewers on The View, enclosed is proof fron AP 
Senator Obama appeared on The View on Friday 3/28/2008 and lied to the viewers. He said:“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 there at the church.”  "I think he's saddened by what has happened. And I told him I feel badly that he's been characterized just in this one way and people haven't seen this broader aspect of him."

I don’t know about you but I think the average person watching “The View” understood this to mean that Obama is saying “then I wouldn't have felt comfortable staying there at the church if Wright hadn’t retired AND acknowledged... The second sentence makes you think a conversation betwwen Wright and Obama took place took place and Wright recanted. No, No, No.  This is a magician’s “slight of hand” trick. Obama carefully chose his words to give the impression that he had spoken to Wright and that Wright had "acknowledged" that what he had said had deeply offended people and were inappropriate and mischaracterized, etc...  When I watched this it sent up a red flag for me because I don’t think Wright thinks he did any thing “objectionable” and I don’t think Obama would dare try to put words in his mouth. 
* * * * * * * *
Coincidently here is what AP put out on the subject: By CHARLES BABINGTON, Associated Press Writer Fri Mar 28, 6:20 PM ET  (I got this off Yahoo)
Obama spokesman Bill Burton said the senator's remarks did not imply that Wright has expressed misgivings about his statements.
"Sen. Obama was clearly saying that were Rev. Wright not retiring, he would need to be assured that the reverend understood why what he had said had deeply offended people and mischaracterized the greatness of this country," Burton said.
* * * * * * * *
I think this greatly changes the meaning viewers got from the video. Can you let viewers know about the error and that all Obama is saying is if Rev hadn’t retired he wouldn’t have felt comfortable staying in the church. Obviously that excuse is suspect to many like myself as much of what Rev. Wright said and did that is so objectionable happened over several years. What was Obama’s excuse then? It's obvious to me that the only thing Obama was “clearly saying” is he thinks "Viewers" are fools.</description>

		<description>Hmmm maybe one should ask Obama about what makes someone lie
As he becomes more of a cronic liar every day
Politico and Andy Martin  certainly have exposed him as being such
I dont really feel supportive of someone who considers babies a punishment
At any rate ask him about career lies he will know the answer although he would probably tell you in 2 days he doesnt recall answering you not in that way any way</description>
