    So

    It hurts when the shoe is on the other foot doesn't it, Glen. Everyone thought it was great and funny when they were pounding Palin about everything from her religion, to how many times she craps a day.

    But, how dare anyone question Obama, whom I call the no experienced, muslim named candidate who attended regularly a white hating racist church, and had ties to many other shady characters.

    He will have a chance to defend himself just like Palin has done. If he has nothing to hide then he has nothing to worry about, but the questions should be at least asked.

    McCain isn't Bush, no more than Obama isn't Bush. They are both Senators, and their lives should be open for public review, and Wright was part of Obama's life until he, and many others snuffed him out like the Boston strangler, but the videos of Wright, and his connection with Obama will live on, and may be his downfall.
