What Goes Around

Much to the dismay of Barack, the good Reverend Wright will not go away. I'm thinking that either shortly before or immediately after Barack's "classic" speech in Philadelphia, he had a little heart to heart with Wright, and Barack's handlers told Jeremiah, in no uncertain terms, that his usefulness to Obama's political aspirations had run their course. Obviously, Jeremiah had a different idea how his future would play out.

In can what only be described as supreme irony, Obama's chickens are coming home to roost. He joined Trinity United Church of Christ to build street cred among the Black population of Chicago, and Obama is now paying the price for standing on the sidelines while Reverend Wright indulged his own paranoid delusions.

National Review - a great site for conservative opinions on pretty much anything - has two articles that provide some good analysis on Reverend Wright and Barack Obama. This article focuses on Wright and his current attempts to co-op the Black church and community into defending his extreme rhetoric.

Thomas Sowell comments on why its a bad idea for Barack Obama to be the first Black President. Now before you go and get your panties in a wad, his reasons are policy based, not race based. Basically, it seems that all too many people are willing to overlook his contradictory policy proposals for his race. Not a good idea.

I'm really interested to see how this plays out in the few remaining primaries. I'm even more interested in watching the Democratic Party choose its nominee in a very un-democratic way.
