Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is absolutely right, as he said in his Philadelphia speech on Tuesday, that Americans are "hungry" for his "message of unity."
But his relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright -- and not only that, but his whole liberal-populist agenda -- raises profound questions whether he is capable of delivering on it.
By choosing -- and sticking with -- the Rev. Jeremiah Wright as his spiritual adviser, Obama has damaged his ability to heal the nation's racial wounds. And his agenda offers nothing that will attract Republicans and end political polarization.
In the 1960s, black Americans had a choice whether to side with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. or Malcolm X -- the healer who sought to fulfill America's highest ideals through nonviolent struggle, or the raging polarizer who tried to mobilize blacks out of resentment of whites.
Jeremiah Wright -- not just back then, but to this day -- took the Malcolm X route. And Barrack Obama chose the Rev. Wright as his pastor.
And Obama stuck with him. Whether Obama was in church the day that Wright declared "Goddamn America" for systematically infecting blacks with drugs and HIV, or when he said that America's "chickens were coming home to roost" on Sept. 11, 2001, surely Obama had to have heard about it.
Surely, he heard about Wright's pilgrimage to Libya's Muammar Gaddafi and his "lifetime achievement award" for Louis Farrakhan.

Kondracke is a great bellweather. When liberals like he and Greefield start turning on the Golden Boy, there’s big trouble.
Mort said it right — Obama boasts of good judgment on opposing the war in Iraq while Clinton and others showed poor judgment that they can't back away from.
However, his association with Rezko and Wright shows absolutely NO judgment.
HE IS TOAST.
Of course, Obama’s record on Iraq also shows a lack of good judgment...
I’m not too concerned about Obama...I think he’s toast.
What I do find verrrrrrrry disturbing is that there appears to be MANY of these “churches” like Wright’s that spew this anti-American, anti-white racist propaganda and congregations who buy it “hook, line & sinker!” And lets not forget about the MOSQUES!
Between the militant anti-American Lefties, the racists Blacks, the illegals, especially the Latinos who are gangstas and the Muzzies; we are gonna have one hellofa mess in this country if this pot gets stirred up too much!
Such as denying Barack the nomination?
The 800+ Superdelegates were put into place to avoid having a political catastrophe like the one they must now envisage with Obama as head of their ticket. Redstate pines this morning that it is a matter of time before they start moving in droves to Hillary.
It's ironic that Bob Beckel (evidently an Obama supporter) seems so irritated and angry about all of this. Afterall, he was the architect of the firewall.
Barry must win the Primary. And let the cards fall.
If I had missed a service, and my pastor starting spouting off “GD America!” and all that other crap I no doubt would have heard about it, and would have been gone with my family to another church faster than you could say Amen! Oboma is a straight up liar, and I would tell him to his face.

Of course you would. And so would any other sane and/or honest person. The trouble with Lefties is that they think or at least want to think that everyone is as gullible as their minions!
HAPPY EASTER ALL.
I’m outa here for the weekend.
GO TIGERS(MEMPHIS)
But I believe Obama also publically voiced his opposition to invading Afghanistan.
Wow! An epiphany of the Lord Barack of Chitown on a piece of toast. You ought to sell that on Ebay. Didn’t a guy get 40 g’s for a miraculous grilled cheese sandwich?
