We've heard much worse than Wright from white religious assholes and no one has condemned them. We've heard worse from helms and he was in government.
Obama faces the same BS the GOP always puts out: if you don't adjust you're stuck in your ways and if you do then you're a 'flip-flopper'. While at the same time their candidate does what he likes. Not only that, but the GOP likes to accuse their rivals of that which they are about to do. Clark goes on the news praising McCain's military service and calling him a hero then he disagrees with the interviewer that McCain being shot down is an instant qualification to be president and so the GOP accuse him of slandering McCain's military career, which he didn't, by slandering Clark's military career. And the media ate it up. Ever notice how the McCain camp claims that Obama has the media wrapped around his finger, while they have the media wrapped around McCain's finger? Even the AP is now pushing McCain's talking points. It's pathetic. Š

Of course, by deconstructing Obama's political strategies I'm not suggesting that his opponents don't also dance the dance. It isn't necessary for you to point out McCain's flaws, I see them too and I don't like them either. I haven't decided who to vote for yet so you can end the lecturing for now.
I've noticed that the media has the candidates wrapped around its finger. Nobody gets elected in this country without media exposure so McCain and Obama both are at the beckon call of program directors and chief editors in all the news rooms across the nation. Some politicians make the best of it while others struggle with it. |

I didn't realize I was lecturing, I thought we were having a discussion?

Maybe you haven't noticed the pattern, but I have. Every time someone says something about Obama that isn't praise, you say something about McCain to condemn him. I haven't been comparing Obama to McCain but you respond to me as if I have. It's a little annoying.

Isn't that the nature of conversation? Comparing the candidates is what I like to do, and I dislike the GOP for several reasons. I used to vote Republican, but after Homeland Security, Patriot Act I & II, invasion of Iraq, etc, etc, I can't support them any longer.
If I'm ramming Obama down your throat then my apologies m8. wasn't my intention though I see now I prolly was. Š
