Obviously you missed my post from a while back about Obama converting to Judaism.

there are plenty of bad conservative columns, George Will wrote a dumb one today on Jeremiah Wright.Originally posted by Joemailman
Show me a liberal column that says anything critical about Obama, or goes beyond providing advice for Obama the victim, then I will reconsider my opinion. Collins & Krugman at NYTimes are occasionally thoughtful, that's all I know about. The liberal columnists are blinded when it comes to Obama.Comment

Obama on March 17:
"And this helps explain, perhaps, my relationship with Reverend Wright. As imperfect as he may be, he has been like family to me .... I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community."
Obama was portrayed in heroic terms for standing by Wright.
Today Obama announces he didn't know Reverend Wright as well as he thought. I expect the liberal columnists will again praise Obama for his courage and character.Comment

Well, I don't know if they will or not. I just think it's too bad Wright used Obama's status to thrust himself and his views into the national spotlight. He's reported to be writing a book, and I'm sure all of this attention will help. I'm just looking forward to this campaign returning to subjects that really matter.I can't run no more

Talk about hypocritical!
**
On Monday, Clinton -- who had said she would not have remained a member of the church under similar circumstances -- focused her criticism over Wright on presumptive GOP nominee Sen. John McCain.
The senator from Arizona last week told the North Carolina GOP not to run an ad linking the state's Democratic candidates for governor -- Richard Moore and Beverly Perdue, both Obama supporters -- to Wright.
Clinton criticized him for failing to do more to stop the ad.
"I regret the efforts by the Republicans to politicize this matter and I believe that if Sen.McCain were serious he would do more than just send a letter," she said.Comment

It's a shrewd political move by Hillary. She criticizes McCain, and at the same time brings up the Wright issue, which doesn't help Obama. Two birds with one stone.I can't run no more

how is it hypocritical of Clinton? She hasn't run ads about Jeremiah Wright. She said she would have left his church when she was asked a direct question.
Clinton doesn't need to mention Jeremiah Wright. The less said the better.Comment

Apparently, Obama is succumbing to the reality that he has to publicly divorce himself from J Wright.
He called J Wright's presentation a "spectacle" and said that Rev. Wright was not the same man that he met 20 years ago.
It's a necessary and smart move on his part. He needs to completely throw him under the bus and run over him a few times if he wants to win back moderate whites who are none too pleased that a central figure in Obama's life considers them basically the scourge of humanity.
He runs the risks of being labeled a "sell out" by some militant blacks but the bottom line is that he'll never win the White House without middle America.

I don't think anybody who cares about Jermemiah Wright will be impressed that Obama identified Wright as a bad man at this late stage in the drama. There can't be many people that buy Obama's disengenuous claim to be shocked. People have already decided for themselves if Obama's 20-year stint in Wright's church matters.
That said, Jeremiah Wright is just one piece of baggage. Nothing dramatic has changed.
The argument that we need to focus on issues is empty. Obama's campaign is not built on issues, it rests on Hope, Unity, Obama's appealing background & chic racial makeup, he's thin and youthful, a great speaker, a new-politics politician.
If Obama was strong on issues, he would have readily agreed to debate Clinton this week without a moderator. That's where we could really compare and contrast what they got going on upstairs.Comment

I would love to see them sit down with a bottle of vintage port and talk about the issues. But America does not care one bit anymore. Why would they watch something like that with shows like American Idol and lost out there? They will leave it up to the media to tell them what was said.Originally posted by Harlan HucklebyC.H.U.D.Comment

Yesterday in our local paper, a mom of a soldier killed in Iraq....he graduated with one of my daughers......wrote a letter to the editor. It was painful to read. She said how her son had been killed by sniper fire. She explained that she was so sad that this term 'sniper fire' has been made light of....how someone running for the highest office in this country would lie about (embellish) being under 'sniper fire' and then appear on a latenight TV show and make a joke about it....that this person would show such disrespect. This mom didn't condemn...she expressed great disappointment. She also said that she could never vote for someone like Hillary Clinton.Comment
