The preacher
It is scary to hear that J.Wright, the preacher in the checkered shirt whose distorted face keeps appearing on my tv screen and whose hoarse voice keeps shouting "God d*&^# America," will be speaking several times this week around the country. Does he not realize how damaging he is to Obama's candidacy? Yes, I think he does realize it, but I think he must feel that achieving fame and a huge audience supersedes everything else. In which case, I am baffled that he evidently does not prefer to have Obama nominated and/or elected than to satiate his own thirst for fame. Can he not see that his diatribes are eroding Obama's support like a second Katrina in New Orleans? Can he not see that every time his utterances are broadcast, supporters for Obama start running away as fast as their legs can carry them? Is he perchance on Ms. C.'s and Mr. McC.'s payrolls?

I wish we could have one election in which the opinions and thoughts and plans of the candidates were the decisive issues. Is that so much to ask?

The problem is, Obama's opinions are probably all too close to Wright's. But he can't come out and say, "I'm a racist, Marxist, Jew-hater" without a major drop in support. He has to try to hide who he is. At least with Hillary, we know some of what we'd get, because she's said so: higher taxes, government health care and the like.
