Democrats versus Republicans

[Sailormon6]

Today, Sen. Obama finally disavowed Rev. Wright, who you'll recall he regarded as almost one of his family. He said he was especially upset because the Reverend insulted him at the Press Club, suggesting that he was a politician, and that some of the things he was saying were therefore insincere. It's ironic that Obama couldn't bring himself to disavow his old friend, Rev. Wright when he insulted this country, but, when Rev. Wright insulted Obama himself, their friendship came to an end. It reveals something about Obama's priorities.

It seems to me that the Rev may be wanting to move into politics. Another Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton maybe. He appears to really like all of this national attention he's getting.

Versus the Democrat canidate who will be free to pick someone that couldn't actually do a good job? But then, that would make two of them on the same ticket wouldn't it?

Nah, Wright would start bitching that we're picking on his spelling just because he's a black man. You know, nobody picked on JFK's spelling.

We did pick on Dan Quayles' spelling!

You guys have all been playing so nice that I decided it was time for some fun for you. Here's a good one proving, once again, that you just can't make this stuff up, ie...life is stranger than fiction. You might want to place your head between two, one hundred watt, stereo speakers and crank up the AC/DC for about ten minutes first. That way your head will be completely clear and so you'll be able to understand this piece and not think the guy is nuts or maybe you're just not reading him right; he is and you are.

Mr. George Will with a more succinct, not to mention believable, essay on the whack-job from Chicago. RealClearPolitics - Articles - A Pastor at Center Stage

I like this article from the same Mr. Will.

27,
That's a great article and indicative of what Francois Kerry and Barry Obama have in common; disdain for the great unwashed masses.
