truth is all of them foul with regards to economic proposals, however i cant even fathom McCainanomics

I like the Obama video the best and not just because I am an Obama supporter, he makes a good point that all the press has and the other candidates have been focusing on lately is personal issues rather than issues that matter to the American people.

Is the Republican-owned Media trying to Sabotage Barack Obama's campaign? Why else would they give a "retired" Rev. Wright all that Air time by blocking out all three Cable News Channels to air Rev. Wright's 45 minute speech at the National Press Club, SOMETHNG RESERVED FOR PRESIDENTS, the Candidates themselves, John McCain, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, only receive Blips, on the cable television shows for their stump speeches! However,why would all three stations block out this time? Was it coordinated, and by whom?

As for Rev. Wright's part, it seems he was tempted and took the bite to go take part in this media blitz, surely knowing it would cause more sensation and not be helpful to Barack Obama, by Hillary supporter, Rev. Dr. Barbara Reynolds from Maryland. Who has endorsed Hillary on her website -- Reynoldsnews.com!

On the other hand why won't the Republican-controlled Media ask to Hillary and her surrogates who have connections to Rev. Wright and enquire about (1) Is it true that Hillary surrogate, Congresswoman Shiela Jackson Lee, is also a devotee of Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright; that he's been preaching at her home church, where she is actively involved, annually for the past 15 years and has an open invitation to return, and, that she sat in the pews for his visits and did not bat an eye? AND (2) s it true that Hillary surrogate, Rev. Marcia Dyson was not only a longtime member of Trinity United Church of Christ but also still considers Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright her pastor? That Rev. Marcia Dyson's seminary education, in part, was sponsored by Trinity UCC and encouraged by Rev. Wright? And was it not at Trinity were she first met her husband, Rev. Dr. Michael Dyson, who's been very vocal in his defense of Rev. Wright.? And, (3) lastly to Hillary Clinton, that if Rev. Wright would not have been her Pastor, then why did she and Bill when going through Impeachment, turn to Rev. Wright for Prayer and Support and invite him to the White House? -- There was a time that Rev. Wright was "higly respected, had great influence and sought after."

Are Repbublicans trying to help Hillary win the Democratic nomination? Are they hoping to win the White House with the help of African-American voters turned off by the Clintons' "kitchen sink-strategy" directed at Barack Obama? Is that why McCain is so actively wooing them? These things have to be considered? Is that why a Republican-controlled Media "daily" 24/7, through their talking heads build-up Hillary, tear/smear down Obama, hoping that Hillary will become the Democratic nominee, so they can then unleash the "arsenol" of weapons they have against her. Something they have been planning for years! They have even engaged Karl Rove through his letter to Barack by disengenuously suggesting that Barack has lost his touch-- that he can't attract white-working class Americans, etc., something they know he can do and has done! And why is President Bush have a sudden interest in making all these speeches? Barack has to fight a "two-headed" Giant -- the Clintons and the Republicans and their Republican-controlled Media, may be it is three heads -- an awesome destructive power and force indeed for one lone man to go up against! These Republicans and their corporate-owned media are no friend to the average joe! They fear what Barack stands for unity and power.

Let's be really clear, the only Ones who have made Race an Issue in this campaign are the Clintons and the Republican-controlled media -- from the start, Barack Obama has tried to transcend Race, but they will not let him, as it would be to their disadvantage... They do not want a candidate who inspires hope, unity and change so they, and the Clintons -- the two-headed Giant --are trying to bring Obama down anyway they can! The Republicans for their own reason (they don't want change) and the Clintons for theirs (they want the nomination)! Either way it is a mighty battle and if they get their way, the People Lose! That is why Clintons and Media are trying to make this a "racial" thing, you know divide and conquer so the people cannot concentrate on the real issues and miss the boat again!

Alas, I believe it is now time for an amicable Parting of the Ways between Barack and Rev. Wright who has definitely put a sword in his side. I now understand why Barack thinks some people are bitter -- he has been conditioned to think that way by the bitterness of his former Pastor, to think that some people are bitter, although Barack was not subject to this bitterness himself but was able to overcome this conditioning and escape it rahter incorporating ther engery of inspiration goodwill and hope instead! I hope we the people will not be blindsided by this onslaught directed at this Candidate of Change and Hope we have in Barack Obama and miss the boat again by allowing him to be "Swiftboated"!

Angelight, you have referenced the Rev Wright/Clinton tie numerous times lately and it's not true. The Clinton's did not invite him for prayer and morale support during their time of crisis. He attended a major event, hosted by the Clinton's, along with hundreds of other pastors. The link posted on TheBlueState.com on this subject proved this out.
