Obama will be on Anderson Cooper as well.

[elizm]

Juat heard from Wolf.

[jgraz]

1. Thank you, Hillary, for giving Obama free air-time to show how much better he is than you

[flor de jasmim]

2. I love your "by-line"? 100% behind K, 90% behind E....

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

3. Obama could not have played this any better. Can't wait to see what Hillary does to try to counter.

[dbonds]

6. And now everyone knows he is Christian.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

8. This could not have backfired any better. And we have Hillary/Ferraro to thank for starting it all.

[LSparkle]

12. THAT's the best part about this ...

FINALLY that old lie is going to be put to rest once and for all.

[Whisp]

30. she'll start picking on his kids.

now that her kid is totally immune to crit.
some vile posters here have already introduced that poison in the not so distant past.

yeh, she's that low.

[maddiejoan]

9. What does this have to do with Hillary?

seriously --WTF?

[KittyWampus]

15. knowing how adroitly the Clintons are at manipulating the press (it's a GOOD thing) they well may

have pushed this through back channels.

I've NO proof.

But it's on par with the hardball the Clinton campaign has been playing.

[maddiejoan]

20. Looks to me more likely

that Obama's campaign pushed this through. I haven't seen the media do too many favors for Senator Clinton.

(Note --I'm one of the few Hillary supporters that didn't see Wright as a problem for Obama -My only problem is with Wright using his pulpit to evangelize for a political candidate)

It very neatly does everything Obama needs done for him. Free air time, cementing in the public eye his Christian faith, and if he can somehow blame the media attention on Hillary (as you suggest. and I'm glad she didn't stick her toe in this mudpit) so much the better -- right?

It even brings up McCain's relationship with Hagee the nutter.

[KittyWampus]

21. could be! it's a crying shame Democrats have to do backflips to get coverage etc.

and O's campaign woulda had to deal with this at some point.

I'd like to THINK his people are this savvy.

[maddiejoan]

25. One thing I'll certainly cede to Obama's camp

They know how to play the media game --and they do it exceedingly well.

It's probably the thing he shares most in common with JFK

[woolldog]

32. I think Hillary is much better at manipulating the media

(and I don't mean that in a bad way.)

[maddiejoan]

33. I think we can agree

thay are both better at it than McCain

[KAZ]

24. Wow! This may be the first time I agree with you!

[maddiejoan]

27. I've gotten a few of those from Obama supporters

in the last couple of days.

Don't worry --it won't kill ya ;)

[jgraz]

34. Sorry, maddie. You had to know this was coming.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0308/9051.html

Opponents of Obama have constantly pushed reporters to write about the minister, which these critics considered a ticking time bomb for his campaign.

On Feb. 20, after a fiery guest sermon by Wright in Little Rock, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette ran an article that said: “On Tuesday, Wright criticized the U.S. invasion of Iraq and likened the insurgents to the Israelites under Babylonian rule.”

At 9:20 that morning, Obama opponents were already trying to get Politico to link to the story.

I hear her campaign is holding a conference call today to try to keep the Wright story going.

[woolldog]

31. stop blaming this on Hillary please.

Don't try to blame this on anyone else, Hillary, the RW etc. The blame for this lies squarely on Obama and his pastor. I say this as a fervent Obama supporter.

[anonymous171]

4. Obama sure knows how to negate a media blitz.

Hopefully he will keep his cool about this.

[zanne]

5. He won't just sit there like John Kerry did.

When he's attacked he'll fight back. That's one of the things I like about him.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

7. he is gonna look desperate and going on every talking head show ...it isn't gonna wash at all

too little and years too late for him to reject Rev Wright

[Cali_Democrat]

10. OK Debbie Downer. n/t.

[angie_love]

16. hahaha.

[Kittycat]

19. ..

:spray:

[DangerousRhythm]

28. ...

:rofl:

[movonne]

11. There is always a party pooper...if you are a Christian I thought

it was never too late...and if your not a Christian it is still never too late..

[LSparkle]

13. But when SHE goes on all the shows, she looks ...

?????

[loveangelc]

18. I know you wish this were the case. the truth is that it is a very good move

thanks for your "concern"

[hisownpetard]

23. Oh, you mean like Clinton did when she went on 5 shows in one day??

Gimme a break.

[otohara]

35. It's Called Nipping It In The Bud

perfect timing too! Friday news cycle, here today, gone tomorrow, except on Fox & Clear Channel right-wing stations.

What he failed to do all those years ago, was pick a nice White church, with a crazy White Pastor, and White congregation.

[KittyWampus]

14. So THIS is what Obama needed to get Media exposure again? LOL!

[Kittycat]

17. What time is Anderson Cooper? He's going to be on Olberman as well.

And Hannity

[eleny]

22. Thanks elizm!

[cooolandrew]

26. Good for Barack take the story head on. Shows people power they must of heard his voters.

If you believe in yo0ur heartanything is possible. Obma 2008.

[Omega3]

29. the MSM just can't get enough of this guy , really sickening, they want to push him to the front so

the Dems are screwed in Nov., ppl need to wake up

[Stephanie]

36. Is there a transcript? That was a fantastic interview and the panel was great too.

Obama handled it beautifully. I loved when he said he was taking the issue as a teachable opportunity, that these are things we need to discuss in this country. And Gergen explaining the tradition of speaking out in black churches. It was really a great show.
