What could have been more damaging for a man who has tried to hold himself above the lesser issue of race? I thought his speech yesterday was a good one but he went on too long. Obviously Barak has some sympathy for the Reverend’s opinions even if he doesn't publicly embrace each one. I disagree with those that said Obama should throw Wright under the bus however. Barak appears much more stately by refusing to turn his back on his friend and mentor even if the man is a buffoon and a blatant racist. This is integrity. Perhaps as interesting as the Wright matter is, it's more interesting to speculate what the sycophant media types would be saying had it been a white male Republican whose spiritual adviser was espousing racist excrement. What if it was Mike Huckabee's preacher talking of the accomplishments of the white race? Romney had problems because of the strange practices of the Mormons. What if some Mormon of his acquaintance blamed the high crime rate on black on black violence, or the staggering illegitimacy rate in the black community or rampant promiscuity? Neither candidate would make it through the day!

Personally, I think that Obama is likely a fine and principled man. I respect him for not betraying his friend, but he demonstrates a staggering lack of judgment for a potential President of the PTA let alone the USA. The Democrat Super Delegates must now hand the nomination over to Hillary, as vile, self-interested and dishonest a person as the Presidency has seen since Nixon (her husband excepted of course). God save the United States.
