Obama's campaign has disavowed Wright's media tour, and a correspondent notes an interesting detail:
Wright was invited to the National Press Club by a journalist and minister who supports Clinton.
The Tribune reports that Wright was invited by Barbara Reynolds, a former USA Today editorial board member who has written on her personal blog of her support for Clinton.
This Reverend Wright issue is really all the Clinton's have to use in their attempt to derail Obama's nomination.
Of course if you really examine it you realize that it is a red herring and tells you absolutely nothing about what kind of President Obama will be.
And if we are going to use the guilt by association ploy to determine who is unfit for office I seriously doubt Hillary is ready for that same tactic to be used against her. I mean in her own marriage is a man who is a philanderer that lied to the American people while under oath.
I would certainly never use that as an attack against Hillary but then I am not one to use these types of scurrilous tactics.
well, he spoke out today...and spoke to the issue eloquently- I think we are seeing him as a man that responds carefully and rationally to problems ....
ReplyDeleteWright is Something....and I do wonder if he was forced to retire because of some of his antics...he certainly has disrespected Obama at the last two events of the past 24 hours....the Moyers interview was one thing- but the NAACP event and the Press Club too...unreal....
Obama is still impressive and presidential....I just worry all this hoopla will hurt him in NC and Indiana...
