No Eloquence Today

Throwing his grandmother under the bus didn't do the trick. Today Barack threw his favorite Pastor under the bus. He should have let his grandmother be and gone after Reverend Wright in the first place.

In an early afternoon press conference, Barack said he was outraged by Reverend Wright's comments yesterday. What took him so long? There was nothing new during Wright's talk yesterday. Rational Americans have been outraged by Wright from the first time they heard his voice:

Obama said, "I am outraged by the comments that were made and saddened by the spectacle that we saw yesterday."

But a man with leadership instincts would have walked away from Wright years ago, and certainly wouldn't have stumbled around looking for excuses for the angry Preacher, finally settling on deflecting the focus with a race speech on March 18 instead of dealing with Reverend Wright head-on.

Barack looks more pathetic everyday... more like John Kerry all the time.
