I am so tired of these people outside the campaign getting so much attention from the media. I think that all three campaigns need to set up a desert island to put all of these pesky surrogates and aquaintances so they can not do anymore damage. Rev Wright, Bill Clinton, and John Hagee could probably use the sun.

Hello Jack

I really think that if the press don't aire this mess, then there wouldn't be a Rev. Wright issue. Obama has constantly denounced these statements by Rev. Wright, but yet this issue is contantly brought up. Obama is a good man and he is the type of individual we wanted in a polititians and he's being portayed as a racist by association. I'd like to challenge the press not to aire this and just stick to the facts, but of course that would be too much like being fair.

It is up to the American people to make the right judgement. Now the picture is more clear than ever before. Barak Obama is not Rev, Right and Rev. Right is not Barak Obama. American people need to look at the man himself and not at those who are considered his associations even though he is different from all of them

I am so sick of this. If people would listen to the whole sermon of Rev Wright they might even agree with it. I am white, woman, and over 50. I am for Obama. I also think if the media would let this go, it would be forgotten. Why doesn't the media start working on the McCain connection with Hagee?? That is what sickens me.

The statement made by ,Rev. Wright should not be the reason why white voters,do not vote for barrack. The problem is 300 year old tactic use by all races in America"division", between the race. This holds to
be more true today than then, case and point. Clintons race bateing
tactic, and the North Carolina republican party,race division tactic.

It want hurt or help. Everyone for Sen Obama is going to vote no matter what they throw out there.
I disagree with you on getting ugly, its pass that, it just shows that we as a country still need to listen to our ministers, Love you neighbor.... oops I forget we got up and walked out because we didn't agree with the pastor.

This sir is a premature question. At this point it is hard to say, since we have not heard all that Rev. Wright has to say.

What say you?

Personally, I do not think Rev Wright means any harm by what he says, but I do not think he is doing Senator Obama any favors.

Based on the bias I have seen, I believe the media will try to use it against both of them. However, I think there is a more significant issue that I have yet to hear. Rev. Wright and Sen. Obama are from the Christian faith. The Bible teachings say we are to hate the sin and not the sinner. It also says let those of us without sin cast the first stone (keep in mind it also says we all have sinned and fall short). So I cannot understand why any God fearing person listening to the media bickerers would support any of this spin unless, they really are not Christians. I say to both of them even if they lose the world…they should not lose their souls.
