My thoughts on Obama and Wright - read if you dare. Recommend if you like it.

Here is my thoughts on it.

When Wright came on the Moyers and the NPC, he was there for one purpose, and one purpose only - to talk about himself. Wright had his 15 minute of fame about a month and a half ago, and Obama stepped away from him because of a few fiery remarks made about 20 years ago. Unfortunately, Wright opened his mouth again at a event that was sponsored by a Clinton supporter - now I'm thinking - why the hell would Wright be in a place full of Clinton people? SO I'm thinking he's getting paid to make a speech trashing Obama, and he is now exposed as the true hypocrite he is.

Obama got very angry, so angry at Wright, that he had to call for a press conference defending himself and completely sever (or at least I think he did) himself from Wright. I think Obama did the right thing and put the kibosh on it - but the problem is the M$M won't stop talking about it, and because they have nothing new to add. That should also help Obama be completely aware that without the Fairness Doctrine, there is really nothing he can do about it - but if he is elected, he'll definetely put the kibosh on tabloid-style news reporting that we have had to endure since Fairness Doctrine was eliminated entirely when Bill J. Clinton signed the Telecommunications Act of 1996 into law. That's 12 years of total bullshit that we had to live through. Both radio and TV and newspapers.

I think Obama will win this fight and definitely win the war on the media. It won't be pretty but I think Obama will get it done.
