Two Wrights make a wrong

I really don't want to hear one more comment about Rev. Wright. Just stop it. I don't want to watch another clip of his terrible impersonation of Pres. Kennedy, or his description of how white marching bands are different from black marching bands. The man is a racist and I'm tired of listening to his ignorance.

I do not believe that he represents the entire black community - nor do I believe that Barack Obama is a bad man because he attends Trinity Baptist Church. Heck, I'm a Roman Catholic and and I don't think anyone attributes all of the tenets of the Catholic Church or the actions of any particular Catholic priest to me personally.

Sen. Obama showed a lot of integrity when he supported his friend after the entire country told him to denounce him -- his original soundbytes were taken out of context and Sen. Obama wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt I honestly don't understand how his friend, one month later, turns around and seems to purposefully and effectively embark on a crusade to destroy everything Sen. Obama has been working towards for the past year.

Why wouldn't Rev. Wright support a member of his church who refused to denounce him despite all of that pressure? It doesn't make any sense - I think Wright is probably mentally unbalanced - the conspiracy theories and the betrayal defy logic and common sense.

In the end, Sen. Obama did what he had to do -- he was forced to denounce his friend. I can imagine that kind of betrayal must take the wind out of Sen. Obama, and his family.
