| Agreed, but Don Imus or Rush Limbaugh will say something stupid in the next few months and remind us why Jesse and Al have a platform in the first place. | |

| Now....for those of you (LG) that recognize no media bias, if this were a republican slip there would one of two headlines:
1. Fundamental Rift in Policy Divides Party Leader from Candidate
2. Is (Insert favorite Rep. name here) really sorry for threatening Obama's sack?
While I agree this is all much ado about nothing, I am curious to know what Obama really believes.
I am not a black man, so I don't pretend to know the answer. But these are two very different approaches to healing the problems in the black community. Shouldn't at least one media outlet bring this to the forefront and let Obama and Jesse duke it out?
They would never ever let the GOP slip a fundamental difference like this under the table. It would be all over the front pages ala James Dobson. | |

After he was exposed as a shakedown artist (among other things) he has no real credibility left. | |

That set up where Wright went off at the NPC and then Obama distanced himself from him was a good gimmick. It helped to make up for the sorry job Obama did in trying to distance himself from Wright the first time. | |

I'm sure there will be more "convenient" situations for Obama to capitalize on in the coming months. | |

He used the N word when referring how Obama was telling blacks how to behave.
