"DON'T CRY FOR ME...
[Read the article: I was wrong about Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Chicago...I never really left you..."
Now, now, dearie. Don't get so caught up being wrong (again!) that you pave the way for Obama to once again put on his Martyr Coat of Many Colors with Chip-On-The-Shoulder inserts. The last time he slipped it on was in February when he and his campaign attacked the Clintons as being racist. I'll bet Obama learned that lesson from Wright's House of Wright & Wrong.
Sabotaging Obama? Oh please! Wright cares way too much about himself to be expending so much energy on Obama. The two are cut from the same cloth. Wright was screwed over by the Obama campaign the day Obama announced he was running for President. The only reason that Obama said he could not distance himself from Wright (flowery campaign speech on race and politics)was because he knew that he already had distanced himself, and was trying to find a way to smooth it over for himself - not Wright.
Both men are nacissists. And Obama is hardly a victim.

On Roosting Chickens...
[Read the article: I was wrong about Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If, as you say, that Jeremiah Wright is clearly sabotaging Barack Obama's campaign, would you like to ask Obama why? I mean, narcissist people don't have to get that personal, do they?
If Wright is hell-bent on sabotaging Obama, then he probably thinks he has a good reason for doing so. After all, there was Obama a few weeks ago telling all of us that he just couldn't forsake his spiritual leader anymore than he could forsake his Grandmother. Come on, those were kind words - or were they?
If Obama cut Wright out of his ambitious plans the night before he announced he was running for President of the United States, then Obama has a strange way of defining "distance." And therein lies the payback.
Obama is not the Messiah that he and his handlers would like to make him out to be. He is an opportunistic narcissist in his own (W)right.

THE ONLY ONE WHO EVEN CAME CLOSE
[Read the article: What should Obama do about Rev. Jeremiah Wright?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]is Howard Baker. Nothing like payback, is there? "What should Obama do about Rev. Jeremiah Wright." Well, first you have to understand exactly what the issue is between the two of them, don't you?
And once again, the political pundits have it wrong.
What should Obama do about Jeremiah Wright? Well, Obama can no longer distance himself from Jeremiah Wright - than he can his own white Grandmother, to borrow words from Obama himself. I mean, those were kind words don't you think? Upon a closer look, maybe not.
Obama's skillful political manuevering finally caught up with him. Seeking a church as just another notch in some ambitious game plan, Obama has spent his entire adult 20 years triangulating his life in order to be President. "The noble Brutus hath told you that Ceasar was ambitious. If it were so, it were a grievious fault."
Both Wright and Obama are cut from the same cloth. Both are narcissists. Who can forget Obama talking about from his days in college how he like the sound of his own voice and "we are what we have been wating for," like some current day Messiah?
As to the question, "What should Obama do about Rev. Jeremiah Wright?" That's the wrong question. The correct question is, "How mentally ill will the media and Obama campaign collude in making Jeremiah Wright sound in order to hide Obama's treachery?

re: Contranino
[Read the article: What should Obama do about Rev. Jeremiah Wright?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Spoken like a true loser (bill richardson's campaign manager).
If Obama could just explain himself...what again?... because what?...he's so freakin' misunderstood or something here?
We've watched Obama have no problems throwing anyone "under the bus" in this campaign. The man who would change "all the politics of divisiveness" and "turn the page" is a charletan who has no problems dividing his Party and returning us to the days of leftist liberal bullshit - the kind of ideological crap that game liberals such a bad name we had to find another word to describe our politics, "progressive."
Obama represents everything and every reason why we lost the White House years ago, pre Bill Clinton, and why we are apt to lose it again. No one should be impressed with these early polls before the Republicans get done with him.
He doesn't connect with white, working-class Dems because they didn't figure into his game plan. They know instinctively that "he's not one of us," and by that, I don't mean race. No, Obama told us what he was all about with his comments about bitterness. Again, he tried to explain his way out of it, but like Jeremiah Wright, he can no more distance himself from his elitist attitudes than he can his white grandmother.
Barack Obama is a walking mess of contradictions; a guy who has to be told to find a church to be credible, told to play hoops in Indiana to "connect" with working-class chumps, and told to start talking about jobs and less about the promised land he's taking us all to one day.
Why do I have a feeling that Americans will be more inspired with a better standard of living than weekly lectures of a President Obama introducing yet another Republican he's hired to work in his White House? And as a Democrat, why the hell should I stand up and applaud THAT?

Well Good...
[Read the article: Taking back the debate over Israel]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's about time there was a balance within the Jewish community. I wonder how much time, energy, and money the United States has spend thus far defending the indefensible anyway? It reminds me of how a small percentage of Cuban-Americans in Florida continue to hold an entire national foreign policy hostage long after the victim died of natural causes from old age.
