Dear Editor:

Earlier this year Senator Obama finally repudiated Reverend Wright's anti-American, anti-white and anti-Israel sermons, because he had to do it to save his presidential campaign. Wright repeatedly used these sermons over the past 20 years at the Trinity United Church of Christ, where Obama has been a member for the 20 years. Senator Obama had to hear these sermons or discuss them with other members of the church, but he did not leave the church, he did not question Wright and his sermons, and he did not counter the sermons in any way.

Wright stated: the U.S. invented HIV to wipe out blacks, the U.S. committed terrorism when we dropped the atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the U.S. brought on the September 11, 2001 attacks because of our foreign policy. Wright also used the phrase "God Damn America.." Wright endorses Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam, who is a fanatical extremist spewing hateful remarks about whites, females, Catholics, Jews and gays.

Do we want an inexperienced and untested President who will just sit and listen to and appease the anti-U.S. ranting of Amadinejad, Assad, Chavez, Castro and Kim Jong Il? Do we want a novice dealing with China and Russia?
