Hm. What troubles me about the Wright affair is that it is a smokescreen, and always has been.

More focus on Wright means no focus on Obama's lack of qualifications and his actual beliefs. All Obama has to do is throw Wright under the bus and he's good ... and once again the media play along.

The mistake of the 'Media' was and continues to be, to portray Wright as an 'isolated crazy' who, Obama is easily able to dodge and deny.

Precisely. The Wright thing is a rather clever, if cynical, strategy to keep the media from digging too deeply into the qualifications and beliefs of Mr. Obama himself.

Yes, and this strategy not much different really, than the one used when Clinton was discovered with a 'smoking cigar' so to speak. Bad enough, for sure; but the real crimes of Clinton, Inc. went right under the radar screen without any scrutiny whatsoever.

Hope many here will write FoxNews and ask that they get give up looking at Obama through the prism of Wright. . .and take on the idiology that he has been informed and inspired by. The idiology that poses the gravest of threats to us all and being euphemistically offered up as Hope. .Change - for America.

There IS a rising tide out there of those doing just that; but not enough. . .
