Could it be
that Barack Obama really isn't "Black" enough for a big section of the Black voters in this country after all is said and done? Judging from Wright's behavior in recent days, and from reading comments on different blogs I have to conclude this is probably the case. I also read on HuffPo that the woman who got Wright for the National Press Club is a big Hillary supporter – sorry I couldn’t find the link when I went back to look for it.

Yeah, she initially tried to 'get' him two years ago. But thanks for keeping up the insinuation that Hillary somehow put Wright up to this. You do Obama supporters proud!

Gettex,
Reverend Wright? The last few days? That's how you find out how African-American voters feel about Barack Obama?
Senator Obama is clearly American enough for African-Americans. They're voting for him something by better than 75/25 in state after state.
Yes, there are some respected African-Americans who support Senator Clinton. Representative Rangel and Mayor Nutter are prominent examples.
But the tide is clearly, overwhelmingly to Obama.

Thanks, sporcupine. I know this in my saner moments. And I don't expect African Americans to vote for him just because he is Black, but I do have trouble understanding how they can stick with Clinton after the way her campaign has behaved. Those who do stick with her, Black or White,see some quality that is hidden from me.
