An Eclectic Mix*

Barack Obama has said that he will have a "big press conference" on his pastor Jeremiah Wright after the National Press Club disaster that presented so much ammunition for Hillary Clinton and John McCain to use against Obama. Will he finally dump Wright? He must do so, anything short will crush his campaign. Is this his Sister Souljah moment?
Obama has been twisting in the wind since mid-day on Monday when Jeremiah Wright confirmed what was everyone's worst fears, Barack has been mentored by an anti-American bigot that believes that this country is evil. It was a horrific display. *** Wright stood by his blame-America-for-Sept. 11 stance, saying, "You cannot do terrorism on other people and expect it never to come back to you." And he strongly refused to denounce Louis Farrakhan, saying, "Louis Farrakhan is not my enemy. None of this is good for Obama and it Wright wouldn't stop. “We cannot see how what we are doing is the same thing that Al Qaeda is doing under a different color flag, calling on the name of a different God to sanction and approve our murder,” Wright said in an April 13, 2003, sermon. "Remember it was soldiers of the 3rd Marine Regiment of Rome who had fun with Jesus who was mistreated as a prisoner of war, an enemy of the occupying army stationed in Jerusalem to insure the mopping up action of Operation Israeli Freedom.” *** John McCain had heard enough and he even couldn't resist chiming in. McCain said it was “beyond belief” that the pastor had said America was like Al Qaeda under a different flag. This is ugly and Obama will need to deliver a strong rebuke and dump him completely. The time for nuance is over, Jeremiah Wright must be eliminated as a political issue and Obama must come strong and say the two are no longer friends or confidantes.
