Rev. Jeremiah Wright

In an amazing turn of events, in this week's primaries in North Carolina and Indiana, Americans got over Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Given Senator Obama's triumph this week - you might guess the larger community of voting Americans, at least those in Indiana and North Carolina, had seen through the Wright...

After a week in which a chorus of television pundits talked about the Rev. Wright controversy ad nauseam, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama introduced a proposal today to silence such repetitious discussions.

"I am proposing a gas-bag holiday," Sen. Obama told a capacity crowd in Indianapolis. "Under my plan, all...

This is a great nation, both giving and forgiving and now it's time for the American people to step up and help our fellow citizens who have the bad luck to be mainstream media journalists. We see the pain of your addiction and while our first instinct is to turn...

This week, the Rev. Wright circus came back to town, and the media reacted like a giddy five year-old, giving his clownish act -- and Obama's acrobatic effort to avoid falling off the high wire -- wall-to-wall coverage. Getting far less airtime was the fact that April was the deadliest...

As a supporter of Barack Obama (and donor), it is hard for me to bring up issues that will damage his chances of election this year. But the truth is more important than politics, as Obama's former pastor hinted at in his speech to the National Press Club this week....

The media runs Barack Obama through the wringer for his close association with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, an angry, controversial preacher who has suggested that the U.S. government manufactured HIV to kill black people. Reporters call John McCain to task for having been endorsed by the divisive pastor John Hagee, who...

"I'm Lebron Baby...I can play on this level. I got some game." - Sen. Barack Obama

Obama has been great for television. Unlike any other candidate before him, he has made this primary season one for the ratings. His message of hope and change, his youthful energy and inspirational...

In an act that campaign insiders said indicated an irrevocable break with his former pastor, Sen. Barack Obama today de-friended the Rev. Jeremiah Wright on Facebook.

Sen. Obama's comments about Rev. Wright on Tuesday seemed to indicate that a total rift with his former minister was underway, but his decision...

Yes. There was true pain on Barack Obama's face today and in his gestures. He'd been burned and we've all been there. Fortunately for most of us it is a private experience. For Barack Obama, it was all too public.

This is learning the hard way. But...

Excuse me, but I have something to say about the Reverend Wright scandal.

Hello? Maybe you didn't hear me: I said, I have something to say about the Reverend Wright scandal.

"Reverend Who," you ask? Reverend Wright. (Maybe they're not covering him in your media market?) He's a goofball who...

Barack Obama has just done a difficult - and necessary - thing. He has ended his relationship with Rev. Wright. I watched most of Sen. Obama's press conference (missed the very beginning but heard most of his opening remarks and all the questions he took) and am now listening to...

Harken back to June, 1992. Bill Clinton was having trouble with Reagan democrats. Then Sister Souljah, an outspoken rapper and political activist, made some very incendiary comments in a Washington Post interview regarding the horrific LA riots. "If black people kill black people every day, why not have a week...
