Sorry, doesn't work for me. The whole 80's/Libya/Farrakhan thing and then to give Farrakhan an award does it for me, as far as Wright goes. As far as Obama goes, it bothers me his supporters and himself instead of addressing issues tend to say these questions are racist and how dare you attack this man and so on....

It also bothers me at the last minute Obama decides to distance himself, but the last 20 years he's been right there.

Sorry, if I'm a racist because I have questions and expect better answers than "racist.... well show me where someone called you racist (which does nothing but deflect the attention off the topic at hand.... which is not whether or not I'm a racist it's about why Obama didn't distance himself from Wright sooner.... again he did so only when it started hurting his campaign and why is it that anyone who asks has their character questioned.

I'm not the one running for office. I don't have to answer any questions because this is not my candidate. But the man running for office DOES need to answer the questions, his supporters DO need to answer the questions and not attack those asking or those supporters and that man will find the issue growing in strength and more issues come out from it and it will cost the man the election.

And to think not long ago I was told this wasn't an issue. Then all of a sudden it's an issue and the answers are still the same, attack attack attack... distance distance distance..... attack attack attack.

Geraldine Ferrero a racist???????? Yet Wright isn't? Wow....... Nov is going to be fun for the GOP.
