1. sigh.
whether they started it or not, they are taking advantage.

I saw Chuck Todd on MSNBC this morning,and he's usually a sane realistic pundit. He says this will be no big deal in the long run, and what will drive the General Election will be anxiety over the economy, which is going South fast.

As for being "global" or "viral" as some at DU were saying last night: I've only seen this on MSNBC, and only just this morning. Yesterday I watched ABC, BBC, PBS and Keith and didn't see a thing. It's going to be gone soon, like by Monday.

2. I hope you are right
It makes me mad and sad every time I seeing it being talked about on TV. I don't understand why people are trying to hold Obama responsible for what his minister said years ago. Preachers get really excited and say things they haven't thought out all the time, but you can't condemn someone who has been preaching for many years and did good work for others for saying a few questionable things.

3. The media touts a Clinton advantage on economy, creating it.

4. It must be frustrating for Hillary supporters.
Wednesday night this story blew up, as FOX released video of Wright and every single Hillary supporter -- and some irrational Obama supporters -- pounced on it. They made it look like he was D-E-A-D! When I read the posts Thursday morning, I was convinced this story would dominate the airwaves and outside of a few mentions here and there, it just doesn't have legs.

On CNN, right now, nothing about it. There has been little on MSNBC (to be honest, nothing on MSNBC since I've watched) and the only one running with it sporadically is FOX. So basically, they got themselves in this love-fest over something no one really cares about.

I love it!
