Don't pay attention to what Obama says

Of course it's way out of line to look at Obama's legislative record while working for the state of Illinois, now evidently we can't judge him by his words.

Wednesday night, in a debate here, Barack Obama complained a number of times about the presidential campaign process and how some people spend way too much time “obsessing” about some of the things he and others have actually said.

They obsess about remarks he admits he “mangled” about people in small towns who, he said, “get bitter” and “cling” to “guns or religion.” People also obsess about his pastor for 20 years, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who once said the U.S. government brought on the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks “with its own terrorism.”

My question is, what the hell are we supposed to judge him by?
