From Wright to Left (Short Version)

Obama wants us to ignore the Wright controversy to stop the divisive racial discussions going on (not to sweep an extremely embarrassing association under the rug, of course) and to move on to the important issues facing America!

No problem, I say! While remaining so closely associated with Wright is probably the most baffling political move Obama could have made, it's mostly an appearance problem than a substantive one unless someone finds evidence he actually agrees as opposed to doing a lot of mind boggling things that might give the appearance that he does.

...

What's Left After Wright?

Ambition, dishonesty, status quo Democratic Party policies, status quo foreign policies, a reliance on hope instead of convincing arguments to defend any of these policies, less overall relevant experience than George Bush had back in 2000, and like Bush roughly no experience with foreign policy issues to base related policy on... but if we can get him a time machine he can defend those foreign policy decisions with something other than "hoping" he's right.

The alternatives for Democrats are unfortunately not all that encouraging either. It makes me wonder if they'd appreciate the opportunity to bring Richardson back in for a second interview:

I may not have agreed with Richardson on many issues, but for a Democrat, he was the prize bass. They threw him back and kept the minnows.

 

Long version here.

Caught the full version on Redstate, and gave it a recommend.

 

See the Academy, where we start at pretension and never look back.

Thanks for the reco... due to popular demand I try to keep my posts short and sweet here.  Apparently I tend to ramble.  :-)

Snowball continues...

Interesting flashback from ABC News:

"I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus," Obama told ABC News, "but I would also say that there's nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group. And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude."

...

"He didn't just cross the line," Obama said. "He fed into some of the worst stereotypes that my two young daughters are having to deal with today in America."

Now his daughters being taught that hateful and racist rhetoric are part of God's will... well...

I'd still like to see him as VP - I think he'd be a good running mate, especially since he didn't get into attacks during his campaign.
