Funny how the Clinton's are not letting this die, and the democrats as a whole are blaming the whole Wright mess on Republicans.

I hope people are paying attention to the crooked politics the democrats use.

Bush has been a victim of it for years...

Wright is not a political issue! I'm tired of stupid people trying to bring this up. How will Wright bring down the economy????

However, we have seen for ourselves that Hillary cannot take fiscal responsibility of her own campaign, so my question is to you Hill supporters: How can she handle America's money problem if she can't even pay her own bills????

Wright or campaign debt, which is worse for the economy...

It is time to stop holding Obama responsible for what his minister said. Do you hold Catholic's responsible for all of the sexual child abuse and the cover up, apparently not. Are you saying all of the catholic who do not leave the catholic church support child abuse?

These attacks look like latent racism to me. Davis needs to go back and read Martin Luther King Jr's speeches, I think he would be surprised at the accusations against America by MLK.

Americans will not hold obama responsible for what others say!!! on the other hand lying to our face about sniper fire, is a lie that AMERICANS WILL PUNISH HER FOR, SIMPLE!!!

OMGA lannie shut up!! How about hillary explain unanswered questions such as:

Why is Mark Penn still apart of her campaign?
How is it that her Husband Bill clinton has deeper ties with the Columbian Trade Deal than Mark Penn not to mention hillary clinton is benefitting from the columbian trade deal finicially just look at the taxes.......?
Why would hillary have left the church if she was a member of trinity but not leave her husband that committed adultery?
Really why did hillary lie about Bosnia?
Why cant hillary come up with her own personal on the trail storys versus getting them from her advisors (eg Ohio hospital story)?
Why hasnt hillary paid numerous vendors......?

Please lannie the list can go on......there are so many unanswered questions on the clintons part! Then she is always claiming media biased! Shoot the media arent even asking her these questions. Instead the media takes the bate a follow the narrow minded surrogates to distract away from the main issues that are effecting our country and the real issues that our in the campaigns.

CNN Please post this comment!!!!

Lanny is right...Barack is a tolerant and honorable person. And that's where this conversation should end. There is not one shred of evidence that he has followed his former pastor's depicable words. And the pastor is NOR running for office–Barack is! Listen to his own words carefully and you will hear all the answers.

It's way past time to change the subject to more important issues that affect all Americans.

I really wish that Obama gave his race speech early in the primaries. So I could believe that it was more than politically motivated damage control.

This issue won't go away because Obama has NOT been clear and specific about it. Talk about diversion- preaching to us about race and yet having a close relationship with a racist preacher?!

He may squeak by with Dems- unfortunately- but it would be naive to think that this won't come up in the GE. It's very sad and makes me very angry that he put himself- and us- in this position.

I completely agree with Beth and Bob and others who recognize that THIS IS ABOUT BEATING JOHN MCCAIN. And the repubs will use the Wright controversy to DESTROY Obama.

Like it or not (and I don't), the speech that Obama gave may be enough for now but it is NOT ENOUGH TO BEAT JOHN MCCAIN.

Again, almost unimaginably, it looks like democrats will snatch DEFEAT from the jaws of victory. If we nominate Obama, WE WILL LOSE. God help us – we need to nominate Hillary.

Truly, who cares what Reverend Wright thinks...he is not the one running for office. What I truly care about is where Obama, Clinton and McCain stand on the issues. I was raised in the Catholic Church, I am still attend the Catholic church.....I go to church because of my relationship to God...not because of the priest, or their political stands. God knows the Catholic Church has all kinds of problems, from the sex abuse scandal to their stand on contraception that is creating poverty and helping spread HIV in third world country. I still attend the church because of my relationship with God....if my attendance (or anybody attendance) depended on our agreement with the Pastor, Rabbi, or Priest...nobody would attend church in the first place.

I can honestly say that if Obama gets nominated and somehow elected president that, for the first time in my adult life, I will not be proud to be an American.

The only people that still care about this are people who were not going to vote for him in the first place. As the recent polls have shown, people are still favoring him over Clinton. If she gets the nomination the Democrats will DEFINITELY lose in November. This issue may come up again... as will the WIlliam Ayers stuff, but in my mind we need to elect the best person for the position. And, again my opinion, Obama is by FAR the best person to be America's next President.

It is a serious concern and Dem will have to address it. Obama and Rev. Wright which way. Denounce and reject so that we can move forward.

nice try buddy, but at the rate Clinton keeps on fumbling the ball your going to have to think of more diversions that this.

Let Lanny or Billary give a race speech like Barack did. They haven't walked a mile in his shoes. Barack is brillant and will be the best President we have ever had. If you actually get down to it, some of what the Rev said was true, but it's not politically correct to say that. Come on down to Tennessee. I live in the town where the KKK was organized. There is still a lot or racism here. Let's get on with the real issues of soaring gas prices, food prices, increases in everything except your wages. The Rev has retired and all these religion fanatics forget that the only one judging the Rev isn't here on Earth.

amen!!!!!! Obama is hiding details, we need to know more. not trust for obama here.

The Obamabots are not going to be happy about this but Mr. Davis is right... if barak makes it to the generaly election, this is going to be a HUGE issue! you're a fool if you think the republicians aren't going to bring it up!

GO HILLARY!

Guess what Davis?...Time to stop trying to keep this story in the limelight...You talk about unanswered questions...What about all the unanswered questions in the Clinton camp...Trying to keep this old news alive isn't going to bring her up in the polls so just stop...It's pathetic just how little you have on Obama...You know he's the answer to this election but you just can't let go of the foregone conclusion that Clinton was supposed to be.

Davis is right – if it were a white preacher expressing hatred like Rev. Wright did it would be all over the place. Where is NAACP when Rev. Wright was saying negative things about KKK-Merica? I am sick and tired of people being in trouble for saying something minor and stupid when you got a big mouth like Rev. Wright preaching hatred. It's a one-way street and America has allowed this to happen! No wonder why there is still racism in this country.
As for Obama and Clinton – neither one is good enough to be president of this country and that goes the same for McCain!

For goodness sake- Let it go!

Do you realize you're making Hillary's camp appear to be more ridiculous by bringing it up over and over? The public and media has moved on. You're only hurting yourself- Don't make yourself look bad by being childish.

I agree!!!! Those are the same questions I have. Yes, we all heard the speech he gave. But it had nothing to do with the topic at hand. The question still remains; Why did you stay at the church?

FOLKS,

WAKE UP...THIS WILL COST THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THE

PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE WHEN THIS IS OPEN TO THE GENERAL

ELECTION...

OBAMA HAD A 20 YEAR RELATIONSHIP WITH A MINISTER THAT SAID

US OF KKA......AND GOD D....N AMERICA....

AND THEN HAD HIM ON HIS CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE

JUDGMENT??????

I am still concerned about Obama's lack of action when Rev. Wright was preaching such hatred. But what I am more concerned about is what is going to finally come out about the Rezko case. There is still something there that is bound to come out. I am afraid that Obama will get the nomination and then during the general election be weakened by revelations concerning the Rezko case. By then it will be too late to choose another nominee.

This is just another way for Hillary to get this out here without her hands getting dirty. It is truly unbelievable!!! She has shown a side of herself in this campaign that has truly left me disgusted. Even if she did get the nomination, I would vote for Nadar first!

I agree with Mr. Davis. Obama should not only explain his relationship with Rev. Wright but also about his controversial friends(Rezko) and the comments of Michele Obama on America.

Obama doesn't really answer any questions, haven't you noticed? I hate to say this or maybe hate to admit, but a lot of people who would pretend one thing in public, do another in private. This topic will play in the booth, with no one around to really know how they vote. The main reason Obama can not win the general election, Rev. Wright and his anti-american remarks. Also, a caucus is a minority of voters. When a miniscule amount of voters, who have the time and energy to stand around and vote in a caucus, get to subject the rest of the people to their choice. The general election is not a caucus, and that is where Obama will lose.

I agree with Mr. Davis. Obama tried to change the subject with his speech on race. I would take more seriously his right to call for a conversation on race if he had acted with more caution regarding his minister. Obama doesn't have much experience with which voters can judge him. What he does have are several bad judgement calls regarding people close to him. This makes him not as strong a candidate as is needed. I do not trust Obama and I am voting for Hillary because she has withstood incredible abuse by the press for many years and continues to shine.

Old news, nobody cares about this anymore except those who are committing political suicide

The diversion will not work Lanny.

Are all your friends perfect human beings? If your friend that you have known for 20 years made one or two mistakes, what would you do? If someone you have known for more than 20 years said something wrong, are you responsible for his misconduct? Do you think you know everything about a person that you have known for over 20 years? I didn't think so. So, what's your point? I'm bored by you. Do you want Obama to answer the "unanswered questions?" Is that really that much important to you? Don't you have any better things to do? Ask Hillary to answer some of her "unanswered questions."

Obama has not been able to explain why he stayed in a church 20 years listening (and internalizing) all that US-hate and race-hate language. Don't kid yourself to think Obama didn't like what he was hearing, or he would have left that awful church.

Your article is excellent.His ministert;Obama's response casts a huge shadow on their patriotism;loyalty to our democracy.His hateful sermons have continued.As Obama said"this minister"put him on the right path in life?

Really? Are you joking? How is this still an issue? Did they dig that hard and that's the worst dirt they have? This should prove that he is THE BEST choice for the nomination.

These are fair questions that remain unanswered to this day. If we Democrats think we've heard the end of Rev. Wright, we are in for quite a surprise if Sen. Obama wins our party's nomination. His GD-America and KKK vitriol will play over and over by the McCain campaign, the RNC and every other conservative 527 out there.

And then we will lose the election.

I do not see how Obama can answer any more fully. None of us agree with every word our pastors, spouses or family say. Asking for further comment is like expecting Hillary Clinton to respond to why she stayed with a philandering husband all of these years. It is inappropriate.

this man has nothing else and is trying to bring the issue back...have no shame. Senator Obama speaked clearly about this on his speech.

isn't Clintons former pastor in jail for child molestation? Any of her supporters want to bring that to the media.
Obviously the only ones trying to stir up this contraversy is the Clinton campaign – and its so old.

This is nothing more than Clinton building her case to convince the super delegates to hop on the Hillary Express.

Obama adressed this issue more thoroughly than could be expected. If you still don't understand why he stayed at the church, then there is nothing more he can say about it.

Keep trying to keep the issue alive Clinton campaign, but it won't get you the nod.

I guess Lanny doesn't have anything good to say about Clinton so he's just drawing up dirt on Obama. People like him make me sorta hope the democratic party breaks up so I don't have to side with these kinds of ridiculous jerks.

If Mr. Davis's Rabbi, lied to him over,and over, and made up stories, would he still support him? Hillary is loosing ground in PA., so lets drag out Rev. Wright again. Rev. Wright is the least of our problems.
Obama 08

just another distraction Time and the Polls are not on her side

Why not ask Clinton to explain her MANY unanswered questions?

Like, why is it ok to lie about "experience"?

lanny..lanny..lanny;

Why don't you worry about Hillary's problems with lying. Religion is about tolerance...Have you ever heard of being ab lack man in the 1960's? Why don't you realize that African American have a little baggage. Get over it and worry about Hillary's date for quiting the race..

SHUT UP ABOUT REV WRIGHT

Here we go again!!!!! Perhaps Lannie should explain Hillary's church!!!!
Just because Hillary is losing, they have to start it up again!!!!! Lies, lies, lies!!!!!!

Go Obama 08!!

Lanny Davis,
Your candidate sent you like a toy boy to DIVERT attention from her.
This is the second time this same piece from you had come up in this blog, same old stuff.
You can recycle it as much as you like. Your camp is a sore losers.

Tuesday poll show PA gaps closing, then all of a sudden Hillary tasks another surrogate to try to change the story. Pitiful...just pitiful. Yet Bill disrespected her repeated throughout her marriage, showing blatent disrespect for women as well. And she stayed with him. Hmmm.

Guess all her lying is a testament to his influence on her all these years of marriage.

you clinton people alwayz bring the same issue when as soon you find barack obama is ahead in polls SHAME ON YOU GUYZ

It's about time someone is asking the right questions. I cannot imagine a President of the United States of America asociated with the likes of Rev. Wright. The Reverand and Farrakan are friends. Something smells and the oder is foul.

Lanny – Let it go....Here goes the kitchen sink approach by Hillary surrogates....enough already.

Someone is reaching because of his candidate's desperation

This seems typical – Clinton deflecting her own scandalous issues by attacking Obama and Wright. Find something original Hillary – the people don't care about Wright anymore.

I agree that Obama should answer some questions. This is his pastor & friend. Something is not quite right here. We were first for Obama, but not now. He is a little too star struck and negative. We are now for Clinton.

First for Obama...........NOT NOW

Clinton 08!

He was just "casually" rereading some of Wright's sermons, huh? Interesting. And anyone can say they would do something in a certain situation, but it's another thing to actually do it. I get tired of hearing people say they would do a certain thing if placed in the same situation. Words are cheap. Isn't that what the Clinton campaign keeps saying?

He did not answer them weeks ago Andrew. Maybe to you because you, like many, are under his spell. I want to know WHY?

)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Obama, " I did not have spititual relations with
that pastor."

)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Yep, she's losing.

Lanny is a patsy who knows his candidate doesn't stand a chance.

See here they go again ..trying to change the subject for their benefit. The polls are calling it close and what the clinton campaign is doing is trying to distract issues off her and move them to Obama because of the Wright issue.

He looks desperate trying to bring up the Wright issue again. This is why everyone see her as negative.

It's about time to call Obama on this. We need to know- IF he plans on being our nominee.

And all of you Obamabots- let's see if you start complaining about this (you sure stuck up for Obama in the McCain-Rockefeller incident saying it wasn't Obama himself who said it!!)

And someone should write an opt-ed to the Washing Post asking Hillary and Bill about the recent child molestation conviction of their former pastor! And while we're at it, how about one on their roles with the following" Vince Foster, Monica Lewisnsky, NAFTA, funding for the Clinton Library, etc., etc., etc.

Davis, your rabbi doesn't have to come out and speak so harshly against the Palestinian government- he already has the US doing that for him.

This is a desperate attempt by the Clinton team to double back on an issue that has run its course. Sorry Hillary, we are not listening anymore.

Here we go again...1st the surrogates...then Hillary! At this point the Hillary campaign does NOT need to bring up the Wright situation again! We have WAY MORE questions about Penn than we do about Wright now at this point. You know because we cant pick our families but we do have a choice on who represents our campaign and if MY campaign manager dealt in a deal that would harm American economics, reveal my double standard on trade agreements and showed my lack of ability to take what I dish out....he would not have been my campaign manager! That was a question asked directly to me and thats was my answer!

Hillary '08 "Miracles...Not Speeches"

If Obama gets the nomination, he will lose the general election. The Republicans are going to use Wright against Obama and they will convince us to vote for McCain. Why do you think the Republicans haven’t used or touched this Wright Controversy yet? They are clearly saving it for the general election. We have to just realize that Obama is unelectable. The superdelegates need to start throwing their support for Hillary if they know what is best for the party.
Hillary or McCain ‘08

Typical Clinton campaign move...Obama is picking up the pace and closing in on her in the polls so what do they do..try to bring up the only thing that actually did a little damage to Obama...not only that Lanny Davis is repeating the same "questions" that he had asked Obama to answer when the Rev. Wright controversey broke out..and Obama did...i guess when you've thrown the kitchen sink..you gotta go back...pick it up...and ttry to throw it again?

Apparently, being "a tolerant and honorable person" is not good quality for the Clintons and their surrogates !!!!!!!

this is the man who helped Bill Clinton prepare his defense for his impeachment charges. get over it!

Get over it
Obama 08

GIVE IT A REST...THEN HILLARY NEEDS TO EXPLAIN HER REASONS FOR LYING ABOUT SNIPER FIRE, NAFTA, CHARITY DONATIONS IN THE NAME OF HER FAMILY CHARITY....

STOP TRYING TO UNDERMINE THE FACT THE OBAMA WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA....

WE ARE TIRED OF THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN GOING ON & ON ABOUT REV WRIGHT...

HE IS BEATING HILLARY ON ALL SIDES...THE PEOPLE VOTES ARE WHAT MATTERS....AND OBAMA CAN NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT SOMEONE ELSE SAYS...BUT HILLARY'S LIES COME DIRECTLY FROM HER MOUTH...

OBAMA 08...

The fact that Obama is a tolerant and honerable isn't the issue?!

It should be. What a sad statement from the Clinton camp.

This all goes to Obama's "Good Judgment".

With Rezko, Wright, and the "we'll send troops back into Iraq if Al Qaeda sets up bases there" comments all point to a lack of good judgment.

I agree that the Wright controversy will come up in the GE, and Obama is less electable than the Obama News Network makes him out to be.

Lanny is absolutely correct no matter who you want to be the nominee or the president. Mark my words: if Obama doesn't address the issue the Republicans will fry him alive.

Can't they realize how tiresome this is. I am SO tired of her way of raising in the polls is to discredit others...or have one of her puppet surrogates do it for her. This is old and pathetic news. move on and quit giving stupid stuff air time.

This would more accurately read;

Mr. OBAMA WE ARE SO BURIED IN SCANDALS THIS WEEK WE NEED TO RECYCLE OUR ATTACK ON YOU THAT DIDN"T WORK THE FIRST TIME!!!

I know why Hillary makes people HATE her so much now. She treats EVERYONE like we are clueless Idiots!! She insults us on a regular basis with these daily TRANSPARENT attacks.

Or...it could just be that the issue is dead and the Clinton camp is upset that the negatives about Hillary FAR outweigh the negatives about Obama. Please, Clinton Camp...stop working for Team McCain.

look up obama's speech on race you douchebag. this has been covered.

Hillary's camp is trying to revive this Wright controversy for another news cycle and I don't think it will work.

PLEASE SHUT UP....THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED AND FULLY ADDRESSED......GO AWAY!!!

Lanny are you retarded ?? If you did not understand what Obama said in his nearly 1 hr speech, have someone explain it to you. Obama does not have to answer any of your questions just because you are too dumb to understand what he already said regarding the matter.

This matter is closed, so move on and help your candidate figure out what direction her career is going to take after she officially loses the nomination.

No one takes you serious because you are heavily biased and talking out of your butt.

Davis, you are trying to shift the focus away from Clinton and her husband's support of Columbia. Some of us are already satisfied with what Obama explained about Rev. Wright and you are just trying to start something that is not there. That is wrong.

The dog can't find new bones.

Her minister won't appear, but her ducking sniper fire will.
Big stunner. The Clinton machine goes back to the Wright issue as white males defect from her.
Shameless, shameless, shameless.

Whatever happened to Hillary Clinton's prominent black supporters like Stephanie Tubbs Jones?

I never see them on TV anymore defending Clinton.

I wonder why.

Ticking off the African-American community is not a smart strategy for the general election.

Ohio is 12% black, and Clinton has no chance of winning that state without getting a strong black turnout to vote for her.

I wonder if we took 30 second clips of Jesus overturning tables in the temple, or Him saying, "you will hate your parents and love me.." and ran them on the news every hour of every day, for weeks straight... And put it on Youtube, I guess everyone would think Jesus was crazy as well huh?

You folks need to quit...lol

Just say you don't like Obama, but don't ask us to "willingly suspend disbelief..."lol

I feel like I'm under intense Sniper fire when I read the creative ways that detractors of Obama try to bring him down... Most without merit. He is by no means, perfect or a flawless candidate. He's just better than the rest...

Scott Hughes ATL

Get over it!!! Stick to real issues and stop trying to take the spotlight off of Hillary for her screw ups!

Please! It didn't work the first time around or the second. Wright is a dead issue. If Hillary isn't careful, raising the issue again could give rise to another historic speech on the part of Obama.

Ms. Clinton, if you cannot give us a good reason to vote for you, please don't give us a reason to give up our respect for you and all you have done in the past.

Lanny has been Hillary's lightening rod. Give it up already. Wright is not Obama. However your candidate Hillary is looking in our eyes and lying through her teeth.

Mr. Davis, the only one who still cares is YOU because YOUR candidate is on her way down in the polls again. If Obama has to "answer" for Rev. Wright (can somebody actually interview HIM fairly so we can understand HIS words??? CNN??? ANYONE???), then Billary must answer for her lies about sniper fire, women refused medical care, her income "issues", the sealed thesis, Monica Lewinsky and how much SHE knew... etc., etc... and so many other things.

Lanny is a jerk. Why doesn't he explain Sniper fire, Mark Penn, etc,etc, etc.

You and half of America. A speech doesn't cut it for me, either.

The voters will make the Final judgement on this subject. Not some Clinton supporters.

This guy needs to chill. Obama addressed the issue satisfactorily weeks ago. Now he brings it back up? Grasping at straws in desperation. . .

Clinton is at ait again....she is shameful!!!!

when her polls result show Obama tightening the gap in Pennsylvania, she sends a surrogat to bring it up....SHAMEFUL!!!!

he wrote an entire speech to address these issues, what more do they want the man to say?!?!?!

Democrats have dissapointed me this year!!! just shameful....you hear this from the Republicans, but really, i expected better from fellow democrats

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
