Jeremiah Wright

With everyone in the political news arena salivating over the Jeremiah Wright controversy, I decided to follow the crowd and chime in.

Barack Obama has pointed to Rev. Wright as his spiritual mentor and we all know he attended his church for 20 years. Now, the American public has learned that Rev. Wright is simply anti-American. Sen. Obama has made his bed and is now being forced to lie in it. (And he's going to have to "lie" a lot to get out of this one.)

While Barack Obama is trying to avoid this controversy and run for President, Jeremiah Wright is obviously trying to make the most of the controversy and run for press coverage.
