Hey, here's a negative response to the Obama speech: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kristen-brei...it_b_92363.html
Can someone tell me the relevancy of the whole Wright controversy, other than the fact Obama merely associated with him and Wright's words? I've associated with racists and bigots all my life, but, like Obama, I have a brain between my ears and distance myself as well as condemn these statements. I understand where they're coming from and what their concerns are, but I still think it's wrong. Obama's capable of doing the same. And who's not to say that Wright was a religious/spiritual influence, and not a political influence?
