Obama can't escape Wright controversy, defends church, says grandmother "typical white person"

In an interview airing today on a Philadelphia radio station, Barack Obama again defended his Chicago church saying "this is not a crackpot church" and blaming the controversy at least in part on "the dangers of the YouTube era."

Obama also added to the controversy when he told another Philadelphia station that his grandmother was a "typical white person who if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know, there's a reaction that's been bred into our experiences that don't go away and that sometimes come out int he wrong way."

Michael Novak is now saying the Wright controversy points to the deepending dilemma facing Democrats. Michael Barone notes that the bigger dillema for Obama is how the Wright controversy could threaten his standing with his target audience: the Millennials.

The bigger issue for Obama
The bigger issue for the general election continues to be Obama's liberal voting record. While Obama continues to present that he will rise above partisan labels and bring the nation together, his record says another thing. Today's International Herald Tribune:

Obama does not come to the campaign with a reputation as one of the accommodating bridge-builders in the Senate. His voting record, albeit short, is to the left; the National Journal declared it the most liberal of 2007. Congressional Quarterly said he voted with his party 97 percent of the time on party-line votes that year.

On the Web today:

McCain rarely mentions his flirtations with Dems (NYTimes)
Movie critical of Islam dropped by U.S.ISP
Israel's illegal alien crisis
Bush's optimism on LT economy is good (Kudlow)
Hillary rising online
Traditional families on rebound?
Mexican truck program still rolling...
Americans didn't like obama's speech
Handel's Messiah in 12 minutes

Obama and Hileary were picked to disrupt the party.

Think about it. There are many who would never want to she a woman as president, along with that there are also many who would not want to see a black man in that high office.What you have left is the Bush regime keeping control of their master plan when McCain takes office.When that occurs,we will surly be headed to finalize the opperation of becoming part of the New World Order, with the war widening into Iran.It just might also be that we will be attacking Iran before the election takes place.God help us all if and when that ever happens.Take a good look at some of the images of the victems in Iraq, and our service personal. How can any thinking person believe that a true and lasting peace will ever be accomplished at the end of a gun?Has not history taught us anything!

You "conspiratorial nuts" just slay me! How can any thinking person believe that making deals with devils will bring peace? Listen up and listen good, newscruzer: Wars that are fought and, and, and, won...Bring peace! Amen!

We lost in Korea and we lost in Vietnam because the politicians wouldn't let us fight to the finish to win.

Good grief, man, wars always have casualties. What? Because freedom doesn't come easy, its not worth fighting for? Where the hell would we be if our Forefathers thought your way?  Or, where the hell would we be if "the greatest generation" thought your way during WWII?

And, as far as the coming One World Government is concerned, Its a gradual coming, an incremental coming. McCain getting elected isn't going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back, so, don't get schizoid on us.

Also, my hope is that GWB doesn't leave office without taking care of Iran. I'm worried that if he doesn't do it, it might not get done. And, Texas Tommy wants it done. "Git er dun, Bush! Git it on an git er dun!!"
