Buried in Eloquence, Obama Contradictions About Pastor
Not to mention throwing Grandmom under the bus. You got to hand it to Obama. Equating a pastor saying the US government is intentionally spreading the HIV virus in the black community to 5000 church members with a grandmom saying she was scared by a black man...that's definitely a new kind of politics.
And people are starting to point out how he handled the Imus situation. It appears hypocritically.
This isn't nearly the worst political gaffe ever. But if you portray or allow others to portray you in glowing other-worldly Messianic terms, this is a problem.
