Five years of war, the country is in a recession, gas prices approaching $4 a gallon and all we are talking about is some crazy preacher's words? If we let something like this influence our selection of a president then we deserve to have poor leaders. Obama's speech was right on. I had my doubts about his inexperience before but I feel more strongly about him with the way he handled this Wright episode. There is not much one can do except tell it like it is. It is absurd that this prevent us from concentrating on what the real important issues are.
I don't see how this whole thing is worse than McCain embracing Pat Robertson who had said that 9/11 was God's punishment against us for embracing abortion and homosexuals. To me both Wright and Robertson are religious lunatics. The only difference for Christian right is that they think Robertson is more patriotic because he has conservative views. But according their understanding of the Bible's teaching since both Wright and Robertson accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior, they will both go to Heaven. So there is really no difference between them in the eyes of their God. On the other hand if a Muslim American soldiers dies fighting in Iraq, he will go to hell even though he is patriotic. So I ask you what does patriotism has to do with anything?

What I find interesting is that a small clip like the preacher's can really put a dent into someone's campaign. Didn't he know ahead of time that it would be recorded? It's pretty stupid nowadays that someone of his stature come out and say these things. Especially if he's trying to help Obama with his sermon. I would venture to guess that most of America was shocked to see and hear the preacher.
ReplyDeleteIf I were Obama, I'd be pissed. There wasn't a whole lot for Obama to do but to address the issue, which he did. But I really think the damage had been done. What he's got to do now is hang on to the lead.
Richardson's endorsement should help a lot. Speaking of Richardson, wow, I can't believe that he would endorse someone so early. Do you think he has VP aspirations?
I like Richardson and he'd look pretty good on the ticket BUT immigration may hurt the ticket because you know the GOP's gonna come after them.
Richardson was right that the Dems have to come together. McCain is cruising right now and it looks like a blood bath over on the other side right now. The democrats need to get their act together and they need to do it soon or else it looks like McCain will win this thing.
