Sometimes I think it's a shame that Obama has promised such a high-toned campaign that it has hand-cuffed he and his staff to the point they can't point up legitimate differences and anomaly to the public, such as this Senate prayer breakfast cabal. It appears she is holding on to her earlier days when she was a Goldwater Republican.

Read the following diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder and tell me they don't describe Hillary Clinton perfectly. We've had 7 years of severe psychopathology in the White House and don't need another difficult, unstable personality.

A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:

1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3. believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
4. requires excessive admiration
5. has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
6. is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
7. lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
8. is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
9. shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

Why the hate against Christians and prayer? This is bigotry. Will you next be a Jews hater, or maybe a Catholic hater?

Past Tore,

The association of Clinton II with this group is not really about religion. Like all religions, they are only stand-ins for politics. Clinton II legislatively works with the people in this group, including far right- wingers. It is her pledge to the rightwing ideas she holds, her 'legitimate' meeting place with the right to fashion these issues. That is why it is objectionable, not because she believes in some kind of relgion. But of course, being a "Pastor", you'd miss that. Because, after all, 5 centuries ago or more, the Christian church joined with Ceasar, not against him.

If she was part of some secret Wall Street bankers club, we'd see it as the same kind of thing. And maybe that will be found out next.

Elydog, put your toke down when you speak to me. Your attempt at communications comes from being too many years with Mary Jane.

Pastor Leroy: "from being too many years with Mary Jane."

Not much of a response there, and quite honestly his "attempt" at communications is better than yours anyway. He doesn't agree with you so he must just smoke too much pot huh?

Why don't you explain where you see the hate in this article or what exactly your problem with elydog actually is....

It seems that Obama really doesn't have to do much, Hillary has done it for him.

I do think that in the last 8 eight years something has changed about Hillary. That is clearly seen in her unwillingness to apologize for her vote for the Iraq war.

Hillary is a poseur, in the race just for the power and prestige. John McCain doesn't have the right stuff to take this country where it needs to go. Obama is the best choice for me...I am continually impressed at how he can articulate complex ideas without either talking down to average people nor dumbing down the ideas presented. He is not perfect (no one is), but he is the pick of this litter by far, IMHO.

Yes, this added info about Hillary just makes her a bigger creep in my book than I had already pegged her to be. Amazing. I used to defend the Clintons. Now I hold them both in contempt. This campaign brought me new revelations about Bill that I had overlooked previously[naively I admit], such as NAFTA and DOMA. It also has shown how low they'll both go for power. This chummy fellowship with right extremists really troubles me - and should truly trouble any progressive minded person.
Oh, and what idiot says seperation of church and state 'has gone too far'? The line is thinner now than it has ever been in this country.

Paul, do you want Pastor Wright to be the Pastor to the next President? Or do you prefer Pastor Leroy?

I didn't know that Jesus was in the White House????? Did he visit? Was He in charge? Or is this another way to join Church and State?
I think I've had enough hypocracy with the Clintons and enough religion from the narrow minded Bush administration.

If Obama gets in, you will see Pastor Wright as a frequent visitor because he means so much to Obama.

Jorge, you sound like an alarmist to me. I think with the level of scrutiny that will be on Obama and Wright, the permanent move to Washington for the entire Obama family will create a natural opportunity to diminish those bonds. I suspect that while Obama stood behind Wright, which took more guts than most of the pandering politicians we've seen in recent years, he has no desire to allow that relationship to act as a shadow over his administration.

Of course, when Barack is elected he will have all kinds of "other" black people in and around the White House.

I guess that could be scary for some folks.

["If Obama gets in, you will see Pastor Wright as a frequent visitor because he means so much to Obama."]

LOL!!

Yeah, and if John Kennedy gets elected, The Pope is going to get the office right next door to the Oval one, and a 'Veto' stamp to go with it!
(I happen to be old enough to remember hearing that...)

Some shit never goes away.
It just gets recycled.

And yes..., 'Dr. Webster'..., I typed "shit".
Deal with it, 'intellectually'.

Say What?, Your use of the "S" word is one of the words that can not be mentioned according to FCC rules. You can use the word "crap" instead.

How many times do we have to deal with the historically uneducated? The United States of America was founded with one of it's cornerstones being the freedom to practice each individuals personal religious belief, but...the Founding Fathers were Deists. How many more ignorant people are going to go on about getting Christ back in Washington D.C when he was never intended to be a part of the landscape. Read your frickin Bible. The Roman government did not want to kill Jesus...it was the influence that the Jewish elders had with the Roman government that allowed them to insist that Christ be put to death! Based on this scenario...how moronic to not fight for seperation of church and state. Please...get off of the cross, and do some research. It does not take much searching to find the principles that our Government was founded on (and why)! Instead of trying to dilute our science classes with Intelligent Design...why don't we imporve our US History classes to teach the real version of the creation of our wonderful Country?

The only way to rid this fascist administration is to remove 'all' the old players! The Clintons included. The "Family" that Hillary was a member of and may still be a member.In private,they preach Gospel of Biblical Capitalism,Military Might and American Empire. Do research on this and you will know truth.

Jorge,
in referrence to Wright, do you realize he was part of an elite group of pastors that was invited to the Whitehouse under Bill Clinton to absolve him of his transgressions surrounding the Lewinsky affair??? If this guy was anywhere near the radical he's being painted as do you really think he'd step foot near the Whitehouse???
