Rev. Jeremiah Wright isn't the problem
The hysteria over Obama's former pastor's attacks on America shows we're still in thrall to knee-jerk patriotism.
By Gary Kamiya [2008-03-25]

  • So what?

    I get why people are concerned that McCain jokes about bombing Iran or that people are concerned that McCain's advisor's recently said that McCains recent misstatements were the result of a "senior moment." These raise concerns about his ability to do the job.

    But, I just can't get my head around why Rev. Wright's comments are important. We now know that Obama has friends that say things that some find offensive. So what? What does this mean about his ability as a president? What, exactly, are people afraid of? How would this reflect on his ability to do the job? Help me out. I am baffled.
