7. Not sure if a blanket rejection of Wright would help or hurt.
It may help Obama, but it would be giving into this irrational fear that Obama's connection to Wright means that President Obama would govern as some sort of loon as well.

So does Obama stand by the pastor and respectfully disagree, or should he throw him under the bus? Or is the damage already done, and we should throw Obama under the bus?

15. Maybe we should be talking...
How Obama is a black man succeeding in a white man's world, because he is lucky he is black. Race has been interjected into this campaign from the get-go, and I am sick and tired of it. Maybe we should talk about Blowback, 9/11, and what our foreign policy means regarding our future. Maybe we should talk about how we are all victims of the same government. We will never be able to talk about how much we as a people have in common, when those among us are so eager to tear us apart.
