In fairness, here is what Obama had to say regarding the Wright controversy in a rare appearance on FoxNews. That he felt it necessary to lower himself to appear on Fox is indicative of the degree to which this controversy has flared. To be sure, I don't buy his strained analysis for a second and I get the idea that more trouble is on the horizon for the senator. It's key to remember here that Mr. Wright is not a random, disparate supporter of Barack Obama. A long, intimate history exists between the two. Are we really to believe that, after a nearly twenty-year relationship, Obama is only now getting a true sense of Wright's extremism? Please! And by the way, where on earth is McCain in all of this? He should be leading the tough questioning here, instead of leaving it to the new media. His silence evinces a principle reservation I have always maintained regarding his candidacy. He is not interested in positioning himself to be a leader in the conservative movement. He's too concerned about "playing nice" with the very liberals who seek to devour him whole. A dose of realism, if you please.
