Obama is much the modern scoundrel. He is trying to pull a Nixon, knowing that his shills will spin this to his benefit. He really had nothing to say that would really work to ease the situation, so he goes to the well once again, for empty rhetoric and hopes for the best. If ever there were a man with no clothes...

Yet, reading the media accounts, he placed his faith in the right place. He now will be allowed to have Wright preach at his rallies, and the media will say naught.
