Weak. Ms. Rabinowitz is an older lady, so we might show her a little respect in excusing her if her writing is perhaps a bit florid. <BR/><BR/>Bryan: You barely skim the substance. Easy for Obama to say that he doesn't agree with everything Wright says. Any one of us could (and should) say that about any other person in the world. And fine for him to say that Wright's post 9/11 comments were deplorable, but that's not nearly enough to assuage concerns in view of Obama's actions: <BR/><BR/>Obama was married by and was led in his worship of a higher power on a regular basis by this spiritual leader who advocates positions like such as that the US government made AIDS to kill people, and that we deserved 9/11. He only disavowed this spiritual leader when he was called out in the midst of a Presidential primary election. Without having to say what this means specifically, to any of a number of individual Americans, it raises a general set of serious questions for many people relating to what, in a time of crisis, when a hard decision has to be made, the f*ck does this guy stand for??? <BR/><BR/>So people (like Stephanopoulos and Gibson at the debate) try to ask him, Barack, what really did you mean by that? In response to these questions, Obama obfuscates, or repeats his earlier position in slipperier language. As a result, the answer that many of us take to the question of what the f*ck this guy stands for is that all that he stands for is being a rock star politician who wants to be President, and if he is ever elected President he will govern straight from the stale consensus liberal/New Deal playbook that he's used as a Senator, which, if used by a President, would likely bring us right back to 1979. <BR/><BR/>Maybe you think going back to 1979 is a good idea, but this is a huge problem for a lot of people.
