A message of hope...After all is said and done, what does Obama have to do with his preacher's comments? Everything.
See, there are those who will curse their own country when they see things happening with which they disagree. These are people who specialize in building division wherever convenient (racial division, economic division, etc etc).
By contrast, see the next post down. Ronald Reagan taught me that my future prosperity (the prosperity I enjoy today) was related directly to the exercise of my own freedom. And I used that freedom from that day to this, in order to ensure my own prosperity. Rather than damn my country (or sit in a pew and say "Yes Lawd" when someone else does), I get up at four in the morning and drag my fat butt to work. Reverend Jeremiah Wright has made far more money than I probably ever will, standing in front of a congregation of ingrates and cursing my country. But all is not lost. I have message of hope for you. And here it is:
Your prosperity is not linked to the government. Your well-being isn't tied up in gas prices. Regardless of what the CEO of Exxon does, or how much he makes, or really who the president or vice-president is, your livelihood - your prosperity - is up to you. It's your responsibility. No amount of cursing America is going to change that. So there's your hope. It's not in Barack Obama's "progressive" social programs, or in Hillary's war stories, or even in McCain's policy problems. It's nestled neatly in your own freedom.
