oprah: 'America Needs Obama' ?????
Reader comment on item: "America's Chickens are Coming Home to Roost"

Submitted by michael ackerman (Canada), Mar 16, 2008 at 07:58

Just what the Dr.(Rev Wright)ordered. It's about time the mainstream press put down their pom poms and started reporting the real news on this guy, not just the pontificating blather of his empty rhetoric. Obama did not look as confident when he was trying to explain away Rev. Wrights comments. Not only are Wrights chickens coming home to roost with Obama (are we supposed to buy that he never heard one of these hateful sermons in 20 years?), the 'cow is out of the barn'.
