You have some gifted such as Solon or AA, or Babs, who can truly amaze you. On the other hand, I've met many a grad student who had "passed" their proficiency exam in German and in French, only to suck a hundred times worse than I. Needless to say I was unimpressed.

Of course, too few enjoy linguistic acquisition and mastery. It's a process not something certified by high pass in proficiency. It's a labor of love.

Carry on.

The point is that Wright is a horrendous person and he is one of Obama's mentors. But keep ignoring that, if it makes you feel better about supporting a radical liberal.

this thread has nothing to do with Obama. Wright has made it clear he is not Obama's "mentor."

I think it's important what Obama has said about Wright's influence on him.

This one is done. As much as Obamaniacs want to blur the ties between the two, it cannot be done. These two are tied at the hip because Obama wanted it that way (until about three months ago).

A constant theme for Dems in the past has been linking Repub candidates with Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. To quote Rev Wright who was quoting an Iraqi Ambassador, "The chickens have come home to roost."
