Thread Name: BS: Throw the Reverend from the Train
Subject: RE: BS: Throw the Reverend from the Train
I dunno. Did Wright actually do this act, so Obama COULD throw him under the bus and somehow salvage his sagging campaign?

Or am I just too crazy to even think that?

I also am not too sure it will be enough to save Obama's campaign anyway.

As I said elsewhere yesterday, the Wright controversy is over a decade in the making, based on choices Obama obviously made when deciding to get into Chicago & Illinois politics as a way onto the national stage.

Sticking by Wright through thick and thin has been a very serious error in judgment on Obama's part.

Today, I can't help but wonder if it isn't too little, too late, and leaving far too many questions unanswered.

And thinking it isn't just Wright's arrogance that is at the heart of it, but Obama's arrogance too. I've long viewed both Michelle and Barack as having a serious arrogance problem. This whole sordid mess seems to have confirmed it for me, not made me think he is finally pulling out of the woods with throwing the reverend off the train.
