On that question, Bill O'Reilly's analysis is, as usual, slightly self-centered.
  • This is the real reason Obama is divisive

    Bill O'Rielly has nothing to do with it.The real reason is that race questions have not been overcome or addressed until now, far too late.Nothing Pastor Wright has said has been taken out of context.The issue is that many people have been led to believe Pastor Wright as a credible source.Many in the black community agree with him and his views because these views have not been challenged by more black comunity leaders and Barrack didn't show the courage to stand,as Martin Luther King did,and make clear that we have to get beyond race and that these views are as wrong for whites as they are for blacks and destructive to society,content of character not color of skin is what should be preached.He needed to make that stand years ago.The facts are a black man can get support from society as a whole and can be nominated and elected and what Obama has done in proving this is to show how wrong Pastor Wrights views truly are,Barrack's campaign contradicts his pastors sermons.Barrack has shown poor judgement and leadership and more than blacks need to vote for him to be elected and he has created doubt about his character with how he has handled this issue with independants and the "Reagan"democrats.He has shown himself to be what he claimed not to be,just another politician.This is devisive because now the democrats are forced into the position of dividing the party or nominating a candidate that is unelectible in November.The NY Times was all over McCain about a lobbyist relationship and how it showed poor judgement,without even having facts, most of the media have ignored Pastor Wright and Barrack's Church's views until now even when the facts were all there.If you didn't like the swiftboat ads what till this issues ads hit the airwaves.The democrats are stuck between a rock and a hard place and that is what is devisive. We americans deserved better.
