Here we go loop de loop. Rev. Wright obvious to me that He has His own Agenda, and Legacy to protect. Obama, not wishing to, but the media had to lay Obama out on the Sacraficial table and once again slaughter the lamb of Democracy. Most of the nation doesn’t know left and right hemisphere thinking, most people do not know sociological studies done in the 50’s and sixties. Most people have little knowledge of anthropology, and how different people developed in different parts of the world. Most people don’t know that the bricks and mortar of the DNA is food, but the environment is the architecture that frames and shapes the brain, and influences how we make decisions. Neuroscience is far from public knowledge. The Rev. was Animated, humorous, and good research, excellent public speaking. After all, only he who handles his ideas lightly is master of his ideas, and only he who is master of his ideas is not enslaved by them. Seriousness, after all, is only a sign of effort, and effort is a sign of imperfect mastery. He is serious because he has not come to feel at home with his ideas. Simplicity of thought and ease of expression are to be found only in the words of the old Masters.Simplicity persupposes digestion and also maturity. There is no longer a sense of effort, and truth becomes simple to understand and it’s formulation natural. All forms of pose, sham, learned nonsense, academic stupidity and social humbug are politely but effectively shown the door. NOW sometimes the media prefers to act dumb, unknowing, to protect their comfort zone, not having to change, a been there done that attitude. The glass is full no room for new ideas or educated researched opinions, the inconvenient truth, the residew left behind, the rope hanging from the tree. Everyone waiting to see who will step in their own ,you know what. Shame on the media for trying to influence, Walter Cronkite never did that. Told it like it is not how He wished it to be. John Steward said it best, Öbama is talking to America as if they were adult’s”. America please grow up We have little time to do this, or start learning MING! And shedding light on others faults, only doubles your own, the Buddha Thankyou.Peter Most people would say no that’s a bunch of bull, hippy talk says the redneck. It’s time to make a decision, Good Luck.

There is now little doubt that the corporate media are now embarked on a campaign of their own to Swift Boat Obama. The lame excuse that the National Press Club innocently wanted to have Reverend Wright “explain himself”, holds water like a sieve. They, in fact, have sought (successfully) to revive the furor they themselves and their colleagues created over the Reverend’s controversial comments, hoping to distract and diminish the OBAMA campaign.
Given the failing fortunes of the corporate media in the marketplace, they desperately need a neocon, Cheney/Bush style, corporate favoring administration in DC after the November election, so McCain is their man.
What we may well expect to see next is their attempt to destroy of the Obama campaign, then do an Al Gore on the Clinton candidacy during the general election, and insert all the skullduggery they can to help their man MCCain gain the Wthite House.
So now Obama really has THREE opponents: Clinton’s faltering campaign, McCain’s hapless, flip-flopping, pandering, ill-informed, loopy efforts at running for the office, and the sneaky, unscrupulous, perfidious corporate media.

I would agree with you. I saw Rev. Wright on Bill Moyers and he seemed like an OK guy. But he has found his temporary fame and is enjoying it at a high price to someone he supposedly likes. Barack Obama. For someone so critical of some of the ways of this country he certainly doesn’t add much class. He gets far too muich attention.
