Jermiah Wrong

When Pastor Jermiah Wright was accused of making racist remarks, upon hearing the sound byte, I never felt that what he was saying was necessarily wrong or racist. I felt, and many others who can relate, that what he was saying was something that was simply felt by much of the minorities in America. What he said wouldn't have really had any significance to the majority population if it wasn't for this campaign and the fact that their are many people who would like to see Sen. Obama fail. I also felt like there was nothing wrong with Jermiah Wright simply going on air and defending himself. Many felt that his speeches and interviews were great. However, the problem surfaces when Pastor Wright ends up making one too many appearances and all of a sudden getting trapped i n the media circus. I feel like it was another set up for the media to exploit Wright and then connect him to Sen. Obama to stir up enough trouble to the point where Obama has to speak on the issue and cause more media. it's a vicious cycle. It sucks because the candidates aren't getting the chance to speak about the issues because they are too busy defend themselves on outside issues. From all of the things that I have heard about Pastor Wright and hearing the man speak himself, I respect him, but I feel like he, and whoever is advising him have made a wrong turn by deciding to get involved with the media. It has been a trap from the beginning and if they'd realize that what ever Pastor Wright does effects Obama and everything that he as been working for through out this campaign, then they would've never got involved with the media to this point. It was okay to make a few appearances to clear the air, but now it is too much and it can possibly be detrimental to Obama's success. It sucks but it was necessary for Obama to recently distance himself from Pastor Wright.
