Obama Not Making Sense: What Else Is New?

Senator Obama remarked recently while on "The View" that if Reverend Wright had not retired, he (Obama) would most likely have left his church, presumably because of the statements that Reverend Wright had made. During the same interview, Obama dismissed the controversy over Reverend Wright's comments, saying that people are taking 30 seconds of sound bites out of a whole career of sermons and using those sound bites to discredit Reverend Wright. If that is the case, then why would Senator Obama say he would leave the church?

Obama also characterized the comments as taking someone at their worst and making a judgement of that person. But is that really accurate in this case? These comments were found on a "Best Of" dvd after all. They weren't part of a blooper real. They were selected most likely for their passion and for their content. No one is questioning the passion. The content however is rightly being questioned. So where is Reverend Wright? How come he hasn't appeared on Larry King or on Meet The Press? Damage control would be my guess. Do you really think the Obama campaign wants this man out in public explaining his views? I don't think so.
