I’m with you. The speech was solid.

Barack Obama didn't say what NEEDED to be said in denouncing Pastor Wright and the venom he spewed to his congregation. He said that for a private gathering in San Francisco where he used it to denigrate OTHER Americans.

Imagine if he'd used his own words to take Wright to task?

And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to... religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them ... (or government conspiracies) as a way to explain their frustrations.
