Classic divide and conquer strategy.
Obama, in even acknowledging the media creation of the Dr. Wright controversy has shown a total lack of political intelligence. There is no way his
campaign shouldn't have been able to side step Dr. Wright, especially when the republicans own Billy Graham made remarks that are more inflamatory
and idiotic when taken in the context of his whole dialogue. Classic divide and conquer tactics.
You have Obama the presidential candidate now having to bend over and take it in the rear, by angrily denouncing another black man who is well
respected in the black community. You have Obama denouncing Dr. Wright and his recent NAACP speech. It showed poor timing and also poor judgement,
as the speech transcript was put up on many online outlets and wasn't inflamatory at all to an educated mind, and many white people who looked at the
transcript or saw the video of the NAACP speech were confused as to why Obama was being critical of this speech and lashing out at Dr Wright at that
instant. The media didn't have much in the speech to harp on, so they continuously attempted to attach old quotes out of context and pair them with
this speech. It made Obama look like an idiot, and also made him lose a whole lot of respect in the black community.
Dr. Wright's speech was actually better then Obama's was if you look at it from an academic point of view.
