"Obama DID distance himself from this church as soon as this came out."


The key words being AS SOON AS THIS CAME OUT.

"but not understanding context and background and then taking portions of speach out of context and claiming it as something else is dishonest."


If this were simply a case of something being taken "out of context"...and if it can be proven that is all it is by giving the background...then why would Obama feel the need to "distance" himself from him and claim to be outraged...why would he choose to throw him under the bus like that?

I understand you aren't familiar with Liberation Theology or the UCC or Black Church preaching -- most Americans are not.

When snippets of sermons Obama did not hear were first reported -- completely out of context, Obama said both that he did not hear the sentiments the accusers of Wright claimed existed expressed in church, and that if he had he'd have expressed his disapproval to Wright.
