p>In the south I understand it is acceptable to call a protestant clergyman Pastor Billy Bob -- all in the name of chummy good fellowship. But anything goes, I guess, now that that fat Porpoise Driven guy wears Hawaiian shirts to do his preaching in. br> -- Diane Smith /p>

Concerning the Wright-Obama soap opera, there are now double dueling dualities.

1) For Wright's NAACP speech, sponsored primarily by blacks, the up-scale audience gave a "typical white" response to his revival talk; for Wright's National Press Club speech, sponsored primarily by whites, there was a "typical black" response to his revival talk, especially because of the black minister guests.

p>2) Obama backers were ready to march in flock-step to support both Wright and Obama after the Moyer-NAACP-National Press Club trio of Wright appearances. Obama backers are now ready to march in bloc-step to support Obama's rejection of the now-seen-as-terrible Wright after Obama gave the new orders at his Tuesday press conference. br> -- Richard L.A. Schaefer br> Dubuque, Iowa /p> p> It appears that the Reverend Wright is opening up his own Race Franchise to compete with Reverend Jackson and Reverend Sharpton. With his new home and property given him by his church and a book on the way, he may soon be worth close to 15 million. If his following stays with him and he is able to build his brand, he may even be able to put a bigger bite on corporations and government than Reverend Jackson. One day he might even be in a position to set up his own Kingdom as Reverend Farrakhan has done. Only in America. br> -- Howard Lohmuller br> Seabrook, Texas
