Obama's pastor, Rev. Wright, gave a speech today at the National Press club. Not only did he not disavow his incendiary statements ("God Damn America, 9/11 were chickens coming home to roost, the U.S. government caused AIDS, friendliness with Farrakhan"), he reaffirmed them. It is becoming quite clear to people that we cannot have Obama as President if he spent 20 years in this congregation without disavowing this hate-filled rhetoric. Far from bringing this country together, Obama is showing himself to be one more person who believes that race trumps everything.
Compare this to the Navy sailors on the PBS series "Carrier" this week. They have shown that they can get along and get important work done no matter their race, color, or creed. We need more Americans like the sailors on the USS Nimitz and fewer like Rev. Wright.
