Wright is doing is good. He can't sit silently while people attack him anymore than Obama can. He needs to stand up and take responsibility for some of the things he said and explain them- Obama does not. He may regret some of the things he said and he may also shed some light on his and Obama's relationship in terms of their disagreements. I trust Obama did not share his views and discussed that with him, I'd certainly like to hear about it. If Wright and Obama can put this to rest now, they'll be better for it. This should not however, dominate the media, Obama did not say these things. He shouldn't be held accountable for them. For 20 plus years of preaching three 30 second clips, how can you really base decisions on that. I think what Rev. Wright is doing is good.

What he said was if USA did so many bad things to other countries then God will not bless America. I don't agree with all the bad things he attributes to USA but some of them like Nagasaki and Hiroshima are facts. At best you can label Mr Wright misinformed and may question his judgment. However what he was trying to preach is not incorrect and is well withing his constitutional right of freedom of speech.

Let me say clearly that some of what he said is true- but HOW you say things makes all the difference! American foreign policy IS responsible in large part for terrorist hatred of our country (we could just call it oil policy!). Muslims in many countries in the middle east have good reason to hate us, the most recent being Iraqi's. That being said, Rev. Wright's ravings were phrased to play to long held frustrations of an oppressed people, but they do nothing to help- in fact they only create more anger in the target audience and perpetuate the problem. Wright's bombastic performances gave millions of flag-waving, small minded dolts the green light to tear into Obama, not to mention African Americans, but he is not man enough, and not humble enough to even acknowledge that HOW he said things was very damaging to a once in a lifetime candidate for President who sat in his church and gave money to it.

I have listened to some of them and am not as troubled by it. I also read an article that was in the Chicago Tribune and according to the article Reverend Wright was in the Marines and was a Navy corpsman. As a Navy corpsman he became a cardiopulmonary technician and in fact according to the article took care of President Lyndon B. Johnson after his surgery in 1966. Maybe we should all read and do some research for ourselves instead of believing everything we hear. I hope that this does get posted.

This Country is in real trouble if Obama gets in. Which I don't think he can beat McCain. Their are to many of us that will vote for McCain if Obama gets the nom. I guess if you want Wright, Farrakaun, And Oprah in the White House then you would want Obama. It's amazing to me that you people believe this man is alright.
