Saturday, May 03, 2008 - 12:05:30 am CDT

Obama’s pledge still rings true, and his potential remains, despite the recent outbursts from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

As more than one observer has put it, charitably, Wright is old school. Obama belongs to a new generation.

Good on them to pick up on the contrast as opposed to being fixated on the similarity of the skin color.
