And I think Wright is hurting Obama badly, and knows he is doing it. Whether that is explained by his anger or some mercenary or power motive I can't say. But Obama's main appeal a few months ago was the promise of transcending racial division. That is exactly what has now been undermined, courtesy of the infinitely divisive Reverend Wright. Here's the problem: how can Obama claim to be a racial healer given his long and close relationship with somebody he had to know was a racial bomb-thrower?Evan McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479661304143631524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4570142759665414946.post-30184332897870343572008-04-30T15:16:00.000-07:002008-04-30T15:16:00.000-07:00I remember hearing that Rev.

I'm positive that he said that, but even if he didn't he had to know that this was going to happen, right? I mean, what does he stand to gain from continuing to press this issue aside from more fame and more press? I always thought this guy was a true-believer of his own theories, but now I wonder if he isn't just a charlatan like Pat Robertson manipulating public trust to sell books.<BR/><BR/>I have no idea what to think anymore. <BR/><BR/>---Chris HollanderAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
