This one is done. As much as Obamaniacs want to blur the ties between the two, it cannot be done. These two are tied at the hip because Obama wanted it that way (until about three months ago).

A constant theme for Dems in the past has been linking Repub candidates with Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. To quote Rev Wright who was quoting an Iraqi Ambassador, "The chickens have come home to roost."

So how would what Rev. Wright said translate to policy in an Obama adm?

If I were an Obamaniac that's all I would want to talk about: policy.

This whole fiasco speaks to judgement. Obama bursts onto the scene soothing the masses with his soft rhetoric of change and "yes we can." But who was he? What had he done of consequence? Who does he count as his influencers?

This is about judgement. There is little policy difference between Obama and Clinton, so one gets the same with either one. It's about judgement, and it appears that Obama has got himself a real pickle to deal with. Rev Wright is evidence that Obama comes up lacking in this department.

That has to be no less than 6 posts in 2 days where you've mentioned my name, Arch. I'm so flattered!

So what is it you are gunning for? President of my fan club? Looking for a autographed photo? A date?

You are the standard for not seeing the weakness in your political party by which others are judged. Cali has reached a similar status as he runs to defend every perceived slight of Obama, because for him Obama is the Christ.

Then why isn't it about judgement with McCain and his glowing comments for Rev. Hagee? Or the fact that he accepted Hagee's endorsement?

You're not embarrased by this response?

You're a smart guy, Cali. You don't need to do this.

Exaggerate then simplify. It's a political technique.

If we voted, I wager many would place the two of you on the same plane.

??? I am embarrassed that Wright and Hagee are turning into focal points for the election when neither of them reflect the character of the candidates involved. You're a smart guy, myboynoah. Stop pretending that your posts on Wright are about "judgement," particularly since you are only going to review the "judgement" of one of the two candidates in that context.

there are plenty of policy differences between him and Hillary.

so in what way do you think Rev Wright will influence him?

Judgment? The business community has already lauded Obama's leadership abilities. You can get a lot done with charisma.
