At the same time, the racial waters boiled over following a report of incendiary remarks by the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., Barack Obama's former pastor. Wright is being criticized for past racially charged statements such as calling America the "U.S. of K.K.K.A."
In full damage-control mode, Obama made the rounds of Fox News, CNN and MSNBC. He rejected Wright's "inflammatory" and "appalling" statements. "I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies.
I also believe that words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it's on the campaign stump or in the pulpit. In sum, I reject outright the statements by Rev. Wright that are at issue."While Obama tries to distance himself from Wright, Trinity United Church of Christ's new pastor, Rev. Otis Moss III, said Wright's "character is being assassinated."
It is an open question whether Obama's "call for unity" will calm the racial waters. Fact is, the race genie has been uncorked. It will take more than hope to put it back in the bottle.


1. How To Assassinate A Presidential Candidate
Ammunition is an insidious, inflammatory and
unpatriotic video of a 3rd party individual
Weapon is repetitive visual media coverage.
Intended Results to tarnish the image of the African
American Candidate, and to kill his Candidacy.
Purpose is to pull voter's from Obama, so they will
more than likely vote for Clinton or McCain, giving them the pledges needed to obtain the nomination, without the Super Delegates,and which will diffuse the potential threat of violence they keep sayng will occur at the Convention, if the election is stolen from Obama.
What is Clinton doing during all of this. Why she's courting the super delegates, while the media does her work for her...that way she does not appear to be a racist.
Question 1: The media is not a member of that church, so which of Clinton's supporter's provided this information that has been out there for years to the media to attack Obama?
Question 2: How many people want to be accountable for what their Pastor's say across the pulpit....should it affect our ability to obtain our dream jobs?
Question 3: Where are the Black Leader's who should be stepping up and helping Obama, why have they seemingly have turned their back on him by their silence....do they not have a Forum....the only people I've seen paraded out by the media are a couple of fools, and a lot of white people trying to explain the thinking of African American people.
