Obama is giving a major speech on race tomorrow, his campaign says.

No Matter how Obama and his campaign try to "change the tenor" or whatever else they are trying to cover with, it doesn't change the fact that Obama and his wife financially supported this church for 20 years.... Usually one knows what the church stands for and has heard the pastor a few times and know what the pastor says and stands for...(Obama says he is a mentor) The media can trash the "guilt by association" meme. It doesn't fly. At least it doesn't fly with people who have a brain. And on the matter of “guilt by association,” here’s a thought experiment. Assume that the spiritual leader and pastor of the church George W. Bush or John McCain attended was, say, a white supremacist or an anti-gay bigot. Do you think that there would be any hesitancy among the press to push the “guilt by association” storyline? I rather doubt it.
