Obama can't distance himself from racist Reverend Wright. Saying he doesn't agree with some of Wright's blatherings hasn't kept Obama, or his belle Michelle, from dragging their children to Church to listen and absorb this drivel. It might even constitute child abuse as it only teaches them to hate the white in themselves. I now completely understand why his wife has never been proud to be an American. Listening to a black Himmler spewing racial and anti-American hatred Sunday after Sunday certainly must leave a slimy residue.

p>I do wonder: does Michelle Obama secretly hate her husband's white mother and take pride in the black father who abandoned him at an early age? Does Reverend Wright hate his own whiteness, too? Do either of them have memory of hundreds of thousands of Union soldiers that fought, bled and died to make Blacks free? Does Barack, himself ever think about it? br> -- Wolf Terner br> Fair Lawn, New Jersey /p>

The thrust of the discussion by writers and talking heads about Obama's association with the Trinity UCC, Rev. Wright, and by association, his wife, Michelle has been what he has to do to make himself a more viable candidate. That's somewhat interesting from the tactical perspective of political science or an advisor. However, what is lost and ignored in a strategic discussion that has yet to be broached is answering the bigger and more analytical question of what will happen to these people if he is elected.

Undoubtedly, both are or will be being muzzled or reined in until Nov 12th when, if their guy wins, they will become an integral part of an Obama administration...as they already are.

p>Does one actually think that Michelle Obama will go silently into the executive mansion and "bake cookies"? She'll make Hillary's time as first lady seem gentle and uninvolved. Or does one actually think that Rev. Wright will become "Spiritual Advisor Emeritus" providing ceremonial pastoral duties? More likely he'll continue to lead his chorus but with an obvious seat at the table. br> -- Rick Osial br> Montclair, Virginia /p> p> Why does Obama keep getting a free pass? Why is any inquiry, or challenge to his record, or unsavory associations, met with accusations of racism? Jeremiah Wright, an obvious racist and anti-Semite, endorses, supports and praises Farrakhan...Obama is a lot more connected to Wright than a mere case of guilt by association. Obama himself has described Wright as his spiritual advisor and mentor of 20 years. Obama was going to have Wright speak at his announcement to run ceremony, until he realized it would be a bad political decision. Any fool can weigh 20 years of involvement against a momentary halfhearted denouncement, motivated by personal political ambition. The left and the media has fashioned Obama into a sacred cow, who is above reproach. Obama's record, and associations have become like the Emperor's new clothes, even when the future of the world is at stake! br> --
