uh, uh, uhIf you made it this far, it appears that Thinker is an active WashingtonPost.com commenter. Check out what else Thinker has to say here.
Obama says he has often used clumsy words
They are more than clumsy.
He means - Uh, oh, I made a big mistake. I said what I thought. I have to make a big speech. I have to minimize it. Do damage control. Say I didn't say it - even though I did.
oh goodie
he talks about
his brother
his sisters
are they white folk?
Question by Campbell Brown: How did Rev. Wright bring you closer to god?
his answer:
worked as an organizer
raised in non religious home
mother distrustful of religion
pastors said you should go to church
trinity
visited it
found ministries on aids, prisons were wonderful ministries
rev. wrights sermons spoke to the social gospel (oh yeah)
he found that very attractive
wasn't his spiritual advisor (hello? I think he said HISELF - no one put those words in his mouth) he denies this man now because it's an "inconvenient" truth about him!!!
he sits there and says Wright has only been his "pastor" nothing more -- minimizes, distances -- gee, I recall a speech where the whole country and world were watching and he went on for a half hour saying the guy was "family" and he could never disown him. He threw his "typical white person" grandmother under the bus for Uncle Jeremiah.
He also said areas he and Wright disagreed on are a distortion
This guy can't stop lying when he gets on a roll. Wow. Right in front of an audience.
He's pathological. Find it out now America. Really SOOON.
HELLO? This is just like Obama - neither he nor his spiritual mentor are responsible for the things they say. Terrible things they say - about God Damn America, United States of the KKK? Mr. Obama says white Americans are "typical" and "bitter" . If people are offended or outraged by the things he or Wright says - MR OBAMA DISMISSES THEM and takes no responsibility.
He is a real piece of work.
Mr. Obama thinks he can talk his way out of ANYTHING. He is a freaking crazy liar. His mother must have had a great time with him telling tales to get out of trouble. You can see this childish bad habit that's grown up with him. My God. He's like a kid.
What an Egomaniac. What a pathological liar. Why not - the crazy crowd clap when he does it. He's amazed. So are the other 50% of Democrats - the one's who are shaking their heads and NOT CLAPPING for his lies and his excuses.
NEVER ANSWERED THE QUESTION ASKED. JUST USED IT TO MAKE HIS EXCUSES FOR MR. WRIGHT
NEVER MENTIONED JESUS. NOPE - BECAUSE HE'S A BELIEVER IN MOHAMAD.
He sits there so cocky - like everyone wants to hear his story. Chuckles, smirks - telling us all what's what.
Four and a half years in Indonesia - when he was about 6 years old. Oh. Wow. He was assessing faith in Indonesia when he was six.
What a freaking joke this man is. His four and a half years in Indonesia when he was four to eight years old taught him foreign policy. That policy: Islam can be compatible with the modern world. Yes. Osama is a Muslim. All he could talk about was Islam. Never mentioned Jesus. Never does mention Jesus.
Mr. Obama is putting one over on Americans.
He went on to say he is careful and suspicious of those who paint Islam with a broad brush. Suspicious? Careful? Why?
In the entire twenty minutes to answer how Rev Wright brought him to Jesus - something he claimed in his book - Obama never once answered the question, he never once NEVER ONCE MENTIONED THE WORD OR THE NAME JESUS.
Just Islam. Promoting Islam.
Islam. Islam. Islam. Islam. It's all he could talk about. It's all he knows.
He went into kind of a Ronald Reagan highway clouded babble.
Islam. Islam. Islam. Never an answer about Jesus. Just an op to put down his "family member" - he minimized the guy he gave the big speech about a few weeks ago - defending him two weeks ago. Minimizing him on CNN - "never was my spiritual mentor". BS BO. You are really something. A real, wild, fantastical liar.
Watch out America. There is only one thing worse than a stupid president - and that's a lying president.
Mr. Obama hides things in his pockets. Mr. Obama is one to watch out for. He is crafty.
He was listing in that church.
God Bless America.
From reading Shankar Vedantam's fascinating Department of Human Behavior piece ["Hillary Clinton and the Action Bias," March 31], I can only conclude that your recent format changes -- which I find cluttered, simplistic, distracting and generally ill-conceived -- must have been motivated by "the desire to do something rather than nothing" in the face of declining readership. Post management has made a serious blunder here: If readers desire a dumbed-down, sexed-up USA Today-type format, they will simply subscribe to USA Today.
In the interest of good journalism, please run, do not walk, from this unseemly and unnecessary experiment. We loyal, dedicated readers deserve better.

Undoubtedly you expected crotchety, longtime readers to have adverse reactions to the recent changes you made to the paper's format. At 22, I don't know if I am old enough to be considered crotchety or a longtime reader, but I have been reading the paper long enough to be aggravated by the changes.
I'm sure it's just a matter of time until I get over the different fonts. However, the extra information blurbs at the top of certain pages are simply distracting and remind me of all the cluttered graphics and tickers of a cable-news channel, from which I always sought sanctuary in The Post.

This week's headline that Virginia will be the first state to require Internet safety lessons for 11-16 year old children is a step in the right direction.
