I took the time to find, watch and listen to Rev. Wright's address to the National Press Club. It's terrible that the media has made us this myopic about the Jeremiah Wright thing, for several reasons.
First, a lot of what he said is true. Absolutely true from a particular perspective. And once this campaign is over, it will be forgotten about. It will become yesterdays news and no one will pay it any attention, unfortunately. Second, although true from a particular perspective, his grand standing is divisive and a major distraction from a very important national campaign. Thirdly, this is all serving to keep Obama from getting his platform across to the voters that matter most in the upcoming primaries. It's important that we all keep our eyes on the prize. There are three choices here; two are tired old power mongers (one of which is being driven by her even more tired and older power monger has been, excuse me husband.
I won't even talk of the other, who's just 4 More Years of the same old.) and the third choice is a choice with substance. The third choice has an inclusive vision and a roll up your shirt sleeves challenge for America. He has more FDR in his wallet than any of the others. He wants us ALL to make America a better place. He has the heart, chutzpah and capacity to inspire and raise us up to that challenge. Actually, it would seem there is only one choice here................
If you're a thinking person.
