Obama Wright Your Wrongs

We've all been lying to each other every day right to our faces, we do care deeply for party and color lines.

It's either, Blacks walk in protest of Obama or Whites flee from Obama's Wrighteousness. My issue with Obama is simple: he must align with many pieces in a very obvious failed bid. Just another could have been, crushed by simple reality: racism exists and it dictates how people act and reacts towards each other. It's getting better all the time, but why in the heck did Barry Obama choose now as his moment? Why must he be a sacrifice on yet another altar? As VP with an viable older White female candidate, married to a well loved president it would have been a righteous ticket and a globe changing lock for 16 years. He would have fought with her every step of the way, and that's how it works best sometimes. For all their faults and fights, Kennedy and Johnson definitely enhanced each other. That he wouldn't deign? That he would basically bitchslap the biggest DNC fundraisers, take advantage of Clinton fatigue and collect castoffs like flies to his honey, says something to me of this man. I knew him before, and dreamed what his father dreamed for him. Something is off for him to be angered by Wright's most recent comments, ones you actually HEARD in the movie Barbershop. He's caught in the spin, and has been and is losing him.
