I wonder what got Brian Ross to play the tapes on ABC News. Does he have many contacts in the Clinton camp? The curious thing to me is that Rev. Wright is even lighter-skinned than Obama. His fulminations against whites had to include most of his own ancestors. Is there some mechanism that causes light-skinned blacks to overcompensate to prove that they are authentically black?

Hmmm. Just watched Juan Williams on Fox say that Obama has to quit the church to get by this. He said that Obama joined to get a black idenity when he moved to the area, but that what Wright had said made it impossible for him to stay. Juan said that the MSM has given him a pass on this by looking at it as "black politics" that can be ignored. But that this is not true, a lot of white people are looking at it and it is hurting him. Too late for that. Barak Obama, go directly to [obscurity], do not pass GO, do not collect $200.

No doubt Obama's advisors are looking at how to do damage control-----does he stay, does he quit his Church. After observing this campaign for almost two years now this is my conclusion. Obama has a personal identity crisis that cannot be solved in the way he is attempting-----by seeking the nomination for President of USA. In fact, his identity crisis will likely not be resolved in his mind and heart and soul until he reaches old age and is facing the inevitable. IN REGARD TO POLITICS: Obama should have applied his attention to his US Senate job and bided his time. As a Junior Senator, he has much to learn. A choice he made almost 20 years ago is now coming home to roost in this run for the nomination. That choice of his Church was made when he was about 28 years old--------rather than recognizing he was in the wrong pew early he stayed with that choice for 20 years. Was he in the wrong pew? This isn't about black politics this is about American politics. The choices that a candidate made 20 years ago, 10 years ago, 5 years ago matter. mj
