He could make a case for his statements~American policies and military actions have created anti-American sentiment and there is no denying that as a fact.<BR/><BR/>What bothers me the most about this particular action is the fact that Obama should have to make an accounting for what he did not say. Pastor Wright is a citizen of the United States~freedom of speech is his to utilize just like any other citizen. You do not have to like or agree with one word that he says. But he can say it. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Obama is going to have to weather a lot of storms as the stump continues.

Wright on social issues he rants about. It seems to me that is how this pastor conducts himself. Obama has been a member of his church for 20 years, that is a long time to not know who the true Jeremiah Wright is, considering he said that he was a close friend and spiritual adviser. I am not blaming him for the things Wright said, but it makes me wonder if he is being really candid and truthful about all this. He lauded Wright with such statements of praise and called him his spiritual leader. For me, that means to follow some of his principles and understand his philosophy. When I hear spiritual leader, I think about someone like the Dali Lama and his followers. I am glad he spoke out, but why did he wait so long. He clearly knew something was amiss when he disinvited him from an event a year ago. I think this will have some effect on his campaign and I am hoping, that though he has the clear lead in terms of delegates, this mess will not create a "Willie Horton" campaign killer for his quest for the presidency. Like Hillary, he waited too long to say something. He only said it after he had come under increasing fire from the fallout and from many conservative talk radio folks, including Sean Hannity, making a big issue out of it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16751272793461639685noreply@blogger.com
