Okay, I was wrong. Apparently Barack Obama has some backbone after all. He denounced Jeremiah Wright in North Carolina yesterday, and he did what he had to do to keep his presidential campaign from faltering. If you ask me, Obama seemed very angry at Wright but displayed remarkable self-control. He didn't fly off the handle the way, well, the way Wright would have done.
Obama, as a black man, can't show righteous indignation in the same way that Hillary Clinton can because of the racist way the media would interpret it. When Hillary gets mad, she's called a fighter and a passionate politician. But if Obama got mad the same way Hillary did, he'd be called . . . Jay-Z.
And we'd hate for that to happen.
So how will Obama's comments on Wright help him in Indiana and North Carolina against the Wicked Witch of Westchester? We'll soon find out.
