Rev. Wright has been very successful in driving home the point that he is a pastor and that Obama is a man of convenience, which he is a politician. Obama needs to define a pastor's role. People need to hear more forceful words from Obama where he categorically states that Wright does not represent the entire African American church, that he has spoken with many African American folks who consider Farrakhan as totally not mainstream. If he leaves it at that high level, there are the blue collars, non college folks who will form their own conclusions. wright broke it down very well for the street folks. Instead, he is widening the generational gap by saying that Wright is from an earlier "bitter" generation. It sends a bad signal for all those senior citizens (black and white) when he makes that comment. NOw it is OK if he does not care for the senior vote. I am sorry if I am starting to sound like a Hillary supporter which I am not. I just want Obama to stand up for all of us and he is not doing so. The Hillarys, Limbaughs, Buchanans, Joe Scarboroughs, Hannitys etc. are getting the better of the electorate against him. And all Obama is doing is dusting off the dirt from his shoulders and letting Rev. wright become a part of the campaign.
