You can see the videos of Obama's main man, the clearly bigoted Rev Wright (from whom he borrowed the title of his now bestselling book, "Audacity of Hope") all over the web today. It does beg the question: if Obama finds so many of his pastor's messages to the flock of conservative, middle class blacks the church serves, why is he just now deciding to "distance himself" from the man?

And then there are Ferraro's comments, resignation, and unrepetant stubborness over her inflammatory comments. Like we don't know this was the mission all along.

But what bothers me more, honestly, is this biz w/the preacher. As unapologetically homophobic and bigoted as the worst of the right, WHY would Obama stand by his man like he has?

It is obvious the candidates are in the trenches of an increasingly ugly race vs gender war for the presidency, using surrogates to say what the candidates themselves cannot.

So, who has been harmed more this week by their surrogates? Obama or Clinton?
