Can Bill O'Reilly help get Hillary Clinton get over the hump and keep her momentum from her big win in Pennsylvania? Barack Obama is still struggling on how exactly to deal with his biggest problem. Reverend Jeremiah Wright sandbagged Obama on Monday as he unleashed a narcissistic series of rants where he basically trashed America and tried to say that anyone that disagreed with him was against the "black church".

Now Hillary Clinton will get a forum with Bill O'Reilly and she will be able to blast away at the entire mess to America's largest cable news audience. Can this help Hillary Clinton win the Indiana primary? It surely won't hurt as Obama is still struggling along to shake off Wright.

Late Monday he tried this, "I just want to emphasize that this is my former pastor," Obama said. "Any of the statements that he's made both to trigger this controversy and that he's made over the last several days are not statements that I've heard him make previously. They don't represent my views. And they don't represent what this campaign's about."
Asked earlier at the National Press Club if he was disappointed that Obama put distance between himself and Wright, Wright said: “He didn’t distance himself. He had to distance himself, because he’s a politician." Wright believes that Obama is lying to the American people to get elected. Can Hillary use this to her advantage on Fox news and throughout he rest of the campaign? And if Obama get the democratic nomination how much will this hurt him in November of he faces off against John McCain?
