Reverend Wright

This is an issue that Sen. Obama thoroughly addressed during the primaries, all questions were answered satisfactorily, and the subject was laid to rest. But we're just guessing that it is going to come back up again, since the McCain campaign is trying to sling as much mud as possible in a desperate attempt to regain some footing.

Back in March when this topic was all the rage, Obama gave a speech that clearly addressed not just the issue of his relationship with Reverend Wright, and his feelings about the Reverend's comments, but also the broader issue of race relations in America.

If you have ANY concerns about this issue, you owe it to yourself to listen to this entire speech. (You can also read the transcript, which will be faster, but you may miss some of the nuances. And if you have a really really short attention span, at least listen to the 5 minute section that goes from 6:00 to 11:00.) Either way, just don't make the wrong choice for president because you were unwilling to devote 30 minutes of your time to decide the future of our country.
