More people, not fewer people, should have been speaking out about the abuses of the Bush Administration in taking us into a war based on lies and half-truths.

It is not Obama's race that is being challenged. No matter what happens here, Bill Clinton's legacy is toast. Hillary, even if she were to get the nomination will not be the next President since the African American community has already walked out on the Clintons.

I think Rev. Wright should never give such sermons at any time. As I said earlier, the Clintons have no business to flame the race issue neither does Rev. Wright. I say banish race issue go ahead with Obama and lay it to rest once and for all. And the superdelegates can do that.

Let us wait for Barack Obama to give his speech starting in the next 15 minutes. I am sure he will rise to the occasion. Question is can American do the same. We have wait and see. Here comes Obama on TV walking to the podium.

Rev Wright should be bright enough to know that his "sermon" of blaming and hating America would be damaging to Obama's chances to become President. He could have waited until the new president has been sworn in (either Obama, Clinton or McCain) to deliver that "sermon".

Let's hope after this new president is sworn in, such sermons will be less frequent. I think those tapes of Rev. Wright are available from the church's web site and might have been made anytime in the last several years.
