*Obama: "this is not a crackpot church" 03.24.08 Briefing • Steve Elliott, Grassfire.org • Subscribe here • RSS 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 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.
