I'm johnny come lately on this blog. But I couldn't resist. What concerns me about this issue is that it's endemic of what politics has become. Tactics instead of policy. Rev Wright is correct in stating that Senator Obama made some of his statements because he is a politician. That doesn't mean that Obama doesn't mean what he says, but he might not have said it if his political hand wasn't forced. That doesn't make him unfit for office. But the concern is, how does the average american find out about the issues when it's so easy to get sidetracked by the bs? Ok… I’m johnny come lately on this blog. But I couldn’t resist.

I just now got around to blogging about it prompted by Reverend Wright's recent speech at the NAACP convention. Previously, it was my stand to refrain on blogging about Obama because it would constitute a conflict of interest for obvious reasons. Couldn't resist this time though. Thanks for the comment.
