Thread Name: BS: Popular Views on Obama
Subject: RE: BS: Popular Views on Obama
There's a lot of noise-to-signal stuff on the Wright business, and I see no need to post it by the yard.

Essentially, Wright's ultimate misconduct cost him his friendship with Obama, for good and sufficient reason, and Obama stood up tot he issue and showed his mettle in doing what had to be done.

He tried, honorably, to distance himself from Wright's views without discounting the man, who has his own virtues. But when Wright forced the issue, Barack stood up and pushed back with integrity.

So, as far as I am concerned, he has demonstrated he has the spine to deal with issues honorably and decisively.

End of story.

That won't satisfy the wind-machines, of course, but...well, why listen to the wind?
