Please don't misunderstand roachboy...I still consider this "issue" a real issue. While I can understand Wright's anger and I can support his right to that anger, I feel very deeply that has a community leader it is his responsibility to handle that anger better than he apparently has. The words of black ministers carry powerful impact in the community and preaching a divisive message such as he has (Obama admitted this outright so it is really above discussion at this point) is, IMHO, nothing short of irresponsible.
Just as I would consider it irresponsible coming from a white minister in a white Christian church, a white priest in a white Catholic church, a white Rabbi in a Jewish synagogue or a Muslim mulla in a mosque.
I was speaking more to Obama's handling of this issue. He had many options here and I think he did an excellent job overall in his track on how to deal with it. Are there gaps in how he handled it? Sure. But at this point there would be gaps in how anyone handled it and that is just a fact of life. When the rubber meets the road, we the people have no way to know for sure what is going on in any candidate's head and heart at this point. Some things must be taken on faith until such time as the candidate has proven with his or her final record what they truly believe.
I just think that anyone who did not consider Tuesday a darn good day for Obama and a pretty good day for American in general is so firmly rooted in their political beliefs so as to be completely closed. I think the true political center had to look at what was said and be moved positively by it and that is coming from a guy who has traditional been a centrist but right leaning centrist who has never voted for a Democrat for President.
