No one but rev. Wright could have done more to hurt Obama's campaign by so pointedly bringing out the racial issue. So, it wasn't a white person with racial prejudice against the blacks, it wasn't Clinton, it wasn't a Republican - it was Obama's beloved rev. Wright who has turned the tide against him, and created the racial tensions all feared. Wright couldn't have done a better job than if he had said "I didn't come to praise ~~Caesar~~ Obama, I came to bury him.

Yet, he not once admonished this man and, instead, alluded to not being able to turn against him anymore than he could turn out any family member. Well, Obama, Wright is not your family, so that "excuse" does not stand well.

We all know that no one can dictate "feelings," (not even the government) and obviously rev. Wright has deep feelings of hatred. But we can admonish people who express those feelings in a manner of hatred, anger, and specifically meant to arouse conflict. Instead, you gave America a lecture about how to change and what white Americans must do. With your address to America you turned rev. Wright's words into your chance to blame the "victim" (America) instead of blaming the perpetrator of the hatred. (rev. Wright).
