While I agree with the viewpoints that Wright initially expressed, he is doing too much. He has way too much experience and education to NOT know what impact his actions from this point on (not just what he said behind the pulpit) can have on the Obama campaign. He also knows about race and America so, unless he's being paid by the Clintons or the Repubs, he needs to have a seat. Not go into hiding or take back everything he said behind the pulpit about race and this country, but have a seat on that other nonsense.

I am really saddened by the turn of events. Rev . Wright really had a chance to turn the legitmate media around and also blount Fox News and the attacks of right-wing radio. Instead, he played right into their hands with the foolishness of that Q & A session. There is a time to berate the American Govt and espouse conspiracy theories, and even to praise Farakhan, but not at the expense of the hopes of the Black community and its chance of a Black president. You have to be smarter than to play into the hands of the enemy. Black folks may have been laughing and applauding, but Americas puppetmasters were dancing a jig.
