Just when Obama thought it was safe to go into the water here comes Rev Wright and that scandalous Illinois Governor.
Rev. Wright spoke at his former church over the weekend and lashed out at the media who lashed out at him all these months.
Ok can somebody tell this guy to be quiet and move on, at least until inauguration. Everything he says is fueling the media and the republicans who are trying so hard to discredit Obama.
Of course Rev Wright is not the only one. Can you say Blalojevich? I can't either, but the piont is he is the governor of Illinois, Obama's home state, and he has been accused among other things, of trying to sale Obama's senate seat. He even called the president elect a mother&^*&^* for not helping him in his ventures. WHAT!!!
Republicans are loving this chaos. They believe where there is smoke there is fire and Obama's associations with characters like the governor, and Tony Rezco, the other scandal, say a lot about Obama as a bit shady.
In Rev. Wrights defense, he comes from a time in our not to distant History where if you were 'White you were right! If Black be damned. !' I recognize that there are a lot of deep unhealed wounds as is the case for many black Americans. For example, I have a friend who remembers seeing dirty dish water thrown at her fathers feet as he stood in line at the back door of a Dairy Queen waiting on a hamburger, and my own father tells tales of having soda and popcorn thrown at him in movie theaters.
It is now a different day in society, after all Obama is the next President of the United States.
Bloggers, the questions are: Are such civil rights activist like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and ministers like Rev. Wright out of touch and no longer needed?
Is Obama guilty by association?

I think they are relevant they just need to change what they are relevant about in terms of self accountability.
