Ironic word of the day: Jeremiad [View All]

[PurityOfEssence]

n. A literary work or speech expressing a bitter lament or a righteous prophecy of doom.

(That's from the American Heritage Dictionary, from Dictionary.com)

This guy's ego has dealt a body blow to his friend, and he doesn't seem to have any remorse or feeling of responsibility at all. He doesn't even have the self-control or loyalty to be gently absent for awhile, and he has the foolhardy hubris to make snotty and coded comments in his endless lecture to us inferiors. Some friend.

I'm not a fan of Obama. Much of this is because I can't stand religion in the public forum, and he's used it shamelessly. This is just the second BIG backlash of unintended consequences, the first being McClurkin in the "40 Days of Faith" cavalcade of coded identity politics.

Still, the guy could have a great future and he's inherently a decent guy and on the good side of things, just as Hillary Clinton--for all her faults, many of which are identical to Obama's--is.

They're corporatists alright, and that's part delusion and part collusion, but they DO give a damn in their hearts, and they DO have hearts.

I don't know how he recovers from this; the knotted up frustration of racism and belief are sad to see. At this point, I'd say he's not as electable as Clinton, but I don't give her too great a chance either.

Nonetheless, ANYTHING can happen this year other than a resounding Republican victory.

Wright's ego is enormous, and he's really made a mess of things here. When he could dismiss previous sound bites as being within the family of his church, the speech last night and the question answering period today were known to be public and he provided so much ammunition that it's staggering.

It will take a political genius like the one many Obama supporters claim he is to get this under control, so we shall see.

Chalk up another field day for religion.

Yeah, a lot of Obama supporters have been snotty triumphalists, have bandied around accusations of racism and have been mighty harsh on Senator Clinton, but like most of the people on this board, the majority seem to be really in love with the guy and filled with optimism and joy. I hate to see that crushed, and I hate to see our party take flak like this, but it rubs off on us all.

Reverend Wrong.
