What are the odds Obama never heard a racist, incendiary remark by his pastor?

Question

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72B3tUAqpo4

The messiah says he never heard them. Over 22 years, what are the odds that Obama was just lucky enough to never attend a sermon from a pastor who constantly spewed filth? Maybe Barry should buy a powerball ticket with that luck?

Answer 1

There are only three possibilities.

1). Obama was asleep in the back row.

2). Obama is so oblivious and imperceptive that he never noticed that his pastor is an anti-American frak.  Not exactly the kind of quality I am looking for in a future president.

3). Obama did hear all the incendiary remarks his pastor made, and lied to the American people about it with a straight face.  Also not a good quality for a future president.

If Obama had come clean about the whole affair when it got exposed, disassocated himself from the pastor immediately, and apologized to the American people with a committment to not do this kind of thing again, he would have gotten much more respect for delivering some straight talk and being willing to make amends for his bad decisions in the past.  Instead, he took the "wtf r u talkig about?" route and gave the impression that he either didn't know in 20 years what the American people could figure out in 20 seconds of Rev. Wright's tamer sermons, or that he is so used to this anti-American screed that he doesn't see anything wrong or particularly controversial about it.

Once again, not the best qualities for a President to have.

Answer 2

Obama shouldn't be represented by what others have to say. Obama is an individual and he has constantly repeated that he does not support what his pastor has said.  

Answer 3

0%

Answer 4

Old news

no one cares

Obama is already winning in the states that were traditionally red

Answer 5

Not too good considering he based his second autobiography off of a very bigotted sermon that Wright gave in regards to "rich, white PEEEEEOPLEEEEEEEE" titled the "audacity to hope" and Barry's book was "the audacity of hope"

Answer 6

Probably same odds that you never heard your parents say any racist remarks.

Answer 7

Zero- He probably was busy reading his Koran

Answer 8

In 20 + years attendance?  NONE --ZIP--ZERO--NADA

Answer 9

Probabbly pretty good odds.  If you sleep in church you don't hear much at all.

Answer 10

0 and what are the odds his pastor and the rest of the congregation knew/realized this about Obama:

He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he rejects. The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he hides but is disclosed by his non-African Arabic surname and his Arabic first and middle names as a way to triply proclaim his Arabic parentage to people in Kenya . Only a small part of him is African Black from his Luo grandmother, which he pretends he is exclusively.

What he isn't, not a genetic drop of, is 'African-American,' the descendant of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave s hips. He hasn't a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave owners. Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africa for centuries until the British ended it.

The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, no balls, nothing but abstract empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.

Answer 11

well considering he went there for what 20 years (I will assume exactly 20 years) and assuming that he went to church every sunday (like quite a few Christians do) then he would have attended that church 1040 times....

Now I only know a little about stats... but the odds are not in his favor... :/

Answer 12

ZERO,None, Zilch

Answer 13

Gee...and McCain didn't vote against MLK holiday 24 years in a row...lots of blacks still rail against the injustice they endured...Kinda like McCain not getting over the Vietnamese who f'd him up..

Answer 14

well in that case if obama is telling the truth (which is highly unlikely) we better hope the new church the obamas choose isn't racist either since then obama will spend another 20 years not knowing whats going on. lol obama has no excuse for not knowing unless he was helen keller that would be the only way he could miss the loud, obnoxious, and extremely toxic figure that is reverend wright

Answer 15

I still have never heard a racist remark by his FORMER pastor.

Answer 16

LOL..Zero i will believe he did not hear any when donkeys fly .

his pastors mouth is way to big to keep from spewing his hate for whites and jews out .

Answer 17

And how do you know his pastor 'constantly spewed filth'? How many od his services have you personally attended? How many separate services have you personally taped? Have you actually even been in a church? Actually ever heard a Christian sermon in person?

My father was a minister during the 50s and 60s. He had strong political opinions about a lot of subjects. But he kept his political beliefs out of his public sermons.

Most preachers are this way. What they'll say in church and what they'll say away from the pulpit are often two different things.

So, yes, it's possible Obama never heard the rants made by his minister before or after the public services.

Answer 18

Very low.  He says that a lot about his friends.  I don't think he knows anything about his friends.  

Answer 19

Zero odds.

No bet.

Of course he did.

EVERY Sunday.

Answer 20

He very well may have not. It appeared to me that people jumped into their acts when the cameras showed up. What better way to get your 15 minutes of fame ? This phenomena happens EVERY time a politician or activist gets on the air. Of course, it's always overkill or outrageous. I am much more disappointed that Sen McCain had to chase a skirt behind his wife's back and toss out his family for a rich bimbo. It speaks volumes as to character. I am afraid that he is a BUSH-Slick Willy combo. Bush's policies and Bill Clinton's morals. What a poor choice for us to have to make.

Answer 21

What are the odds that Palin never said that her policies are shaped by god?

Answer 22

lololol ya right, and his pastor is right on..as far as odds, its 3-5 that OB told him to say those nice words.., he had to rile up the home folks..wanted every body to feel sorry for him!!!..lolol nice way to win big house...but i will still vote write-in vote, for hilly...and you should do same!...hate to see change that comming???...we in world of chip....and you dont have to reply to my Blog..

Answer 23

Hu$ane O. and his band of 40 thieves have no use except for anyone of his race.  Just as Al Sharpton and the honorable Jesse Jackson!

Answer 24

You're more likely to be struck by lightning than for him to have not heard the "revs." venom.

Answer 25

Nichts, nada, zilch, zero, zippo!!

Answer 26

Why don't you just admit that you're afraid of black people?

McCain/Palin = Bush.

That's all anyone needs to know about this election.

Answer 27

0

Answer 28

Depends on which 0bama answer you go by. His first answer on a Friday he "never heard stuff like that" . Then the following Monday the story "changed" to "disagreements" with his Church. Considering round 2 with Wright speaking after his retirement...  

Answer 29

There's a lot of people in this country that should be the last ones talking about Obama's pastor being a racist !!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08 !!!!!!!!

Answer 30

His handlers FINALLY had him come clean and be honest on this subject.  Here is a link to the statement he released

http://tinyurl.com/5b4e95

Answer 31

Only someone that does not belong to a congregation could make such a statement. Obama can't convince me otherwise for the simple reason that as a parrish member and a community volunteer in my new small town of only 3 years I know just where my church leaders head is at. Prior to this I belonged to my church for 15 years and let me tell ya, there is no scrutiny off limits when it comes to the old timers.
