Are you suggesting Obama was forced to sit there for 20 years and listen to him? Was he forced to have the guy perform the marriage ceremony on him and his wife? A compulsory reeducation camp is a far cry from voluntarily and repeatedly for two decades choosing to go listen to messages of hate and racism.

So saying that Obama approved of these comments because he listened to them is well flimsy.

I don't know about you, but if an organization repeatedly says things, and focuses on things that I do not agree with, I do not waste several hours per week sitting in their meeting hall listening to their message.

I have to listen to Ustwo here, does that mean I automatically approve what he says?

If you go to Ustwo's house every week over 1,000 times and give him money so that he can continue to say what he's saying, yes, it does. Your point would be valid only if Ustwo were the voice of TFP. He isn't. None of us are. Wright IS the voice of his church. Going there, listening to him, over and over and over again, and putting money in the collection plate, means Obama either approves of what Wright says and what he believes, or he's an idiot.
