Why oh why is Rev. Wright back in the news?
I'm starting to think that he didn't do Obama any service by reinserting himself into the public consciousness.

Why is he "aboot?"

2. Because he is a private citizen, and has a right to be out & "aboot"
He became a part of a political campaign, and saw his own life's work and career, being unfairly trashed on TV every day. He has a family, friends and a life, and apparently got tired of it all.

He's free to speak out, and of course the media is hot to cover him now so they can string the "pearls" into a necklace , with which they can strangle Obama... and then cluck cluck cluck about how "sad" it all was.. They are trying to "Dean" him, but it's late in the procedure, so all they can really do is use the negative vibes they create, to build up Hillary's losing campaign..and then pretend they had nothing to do with it all..

3. He's a net positive for Obama. Look at the tracking polls.

5. He just cost Obama Indiana
Right now the story needs to be about Obama - not Obama responding to what Wright says.

4. His speech was pure brilliance! Did you catch the part about how white people clap
differently than black people? Or the reason why black kids can't be expected to be able

to sit quietly at their desks?

7. My opinion
Rev. Wright "going wide" and explaining himself in context in completely his own words for a substantial amount of broadcast time is going to show AMERICA just how slanted and unfair the coverage of Rev. Wright has been.

Hey America! Your MSM has been endlessly looping out of context unfairly edited innuendo against Rev. Wright. Now that you can hear what his message actually is, aren't you open to questioning the crap MSM has been feeding you for the lat twenty years?"

That's what I think Rev. Wright's message REALLY is, anyway....
