Sean Hannity, the right wing propagandist mouth piece, a loathsome and evil fellow, worked hard to launch Jeremiah Wright as Obama's version of the swift boat attack scheme.
It's quite clear what the overall strategy of the Jeremiah Wright plot is all about. Having observed that Barack Obama is a formidable candidate on the brink of demolishing the vaunted Clinton political machine, the right wing republican operatives have kicked off vicious personal attacks against Obama in order to weaken and destroy him.
Guilt by association is the obvious tactics being employed by the right wing and neo-con operatives. The idea is to invoke racial hatred and incite the anger of the fragile independent white voters to turn against Obama the black candidate.
Choosing Jeremiah Wright as the bait for the hate Obama campaign is a grievious mistake because Jeremiah Wright is a brilliant, fearless and combative preacher with a mission to remain the conscience of America that keeps on ticking.
Jeremiah Wright is being demonized for telling the truth about the ills of American foreign and domestic policies that have brought great harm to the country. The future security and economic prosperity of America is in serious danger if things don't change in the positive direction.
Attacking Jeremiah Wright to get to Obama will backfire. The reverend Wright will not be silenced. He will continue to tell the bitter truth that will continue to prick the conscience of a nation entrapped by ignorance and apathy and lead by a bunch of reckless, mindless and corrupt politicians.
The Obama campaign is worried sick and wish that the reverend Wright disappears into dark matter. This is wrong thinking. That's what the right wing republicans want. They want to be able to spin the issue without contest and force Obama to be on the defensive.
The best way to counter the republican onslaught is to go on a full scale counter offensive. Turn the reverend loose and let him keep delivering his message to the people. The republicans don’t want the reality of their failed policy to be pronounced so vigorously as only the reverend can.
What the Obama camp can't do is to play weak on any game the opponents present. Obama is in a position of strength and he should drive his adversaries into the earth. Don't dump the reverend. Let truth reign

Barack Obama, an equal opportunity candidate
It's obvious that Obama is not white enough and certainly not black enough. He presents himself however as an equal opportunity candidate and the beacon of hope for a united America.
There's a piece of him for the white color conscious voter and a piece of him for the black color conscious voter. Then there’s the whole of him for the color blind liberated rational voter. It would be nice if race was not a factor, but let's not kid ourselves; race is alive and well and the Clintons are exploiting it shamelessly.
For the first time, African-Americans are presented with a candidate who shares their heritage and who also has a legitimate chance to be nominated and eventually elected president of the United States.
Obama is specially gifted and when contrasted head to head with Hillary is far superior both in judgment, character, temperament and intellectual prowess. He also has sufficient relevant experience and vision to make good decisions where Hillary has been opportunistic and has failed on critical issues like voting for the war and mismanaging the national health insurance project in the White House with Bill Clinton.
It appears that Blacks are split and indecisive about their choice between Obama and Hillary. The tag teams of Bill and Hillary Clinton have mounted a serious negative campaign to diminish the stature of Obama. They have introduced the race and gender cards in an effort to bait and destroy him. They seem to be succeeding with a certain class of people.
Blacks should not allow themselves to be manipulated by the Clintons or their surrogates. They should free themselves from mental slavery and exercise wisdom by giving Obama victory not because he is black but because he is more qualified to lead the nation. They should reject any attempts by the so called Black leaders who may try to persuade them from doing the right thing.
By voting for Obama, Blacks can help the nation by defeating the Clinton machine who if allowed back in the white house will engage this country in an endless divisive internal strife with ugly consequences. It’s time for a positive change and African Americans can contribute significantly.
It’s also time for Blacks to divorce themselves from their stagnant visionless leadership and pave a new path to freedom and prosperity by aligning with the movement for change we can believe in according to Obama.

Stop the war, Democrats can't do
What war? This is not war. Somebody aptly called it "Bumper sticker war" and indeed, that's what it is.
To call the Iraq escapade a war is a mockery of the highest order and an assault upon our collective intelligence.
There are lots to be gained from this military adventure namely, money, power and influence.
Those who profit from the spoils of this adventure are the privileged few found along the corridors of politics in Washington and corporate boardrooms across the globe.
Just as well, there are losers as a result of this misadventure. Losers are the soldiers who continue to lose their lives and limbs and their families and friends who pay the ultimate price.
Losers are the tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis who die without a cause other than being the unfortunate victims of circumstances thrust upon them by the cruel hands of fate.
Losers are the American people who continue to work hard to build fortunes that are squandered without accountability.
Losers are Americans whose quest for national resources to invest in their future education, health care, infra structure and economy are considered entitlements slated to be chopped by pandering politicians.
Losers are Americans who continue to be stripped of their liberties in exchange for security that can't be guaranteed.
Losers are Americans who continue to live in fear of a bearded monster that can not be sighted, ensnared nor silenced.
Losers are Americans who vote to effect change only to be disregarded as hapless morons with chips they are bound to cast without the benefit of a return on their investment.
With all things considered, what incentives are there to stop this "war"? So long as winners continue to win and losers continue to lose and there is no shift in the balance of power, the status quo will remain.
So, ask your leading candidates for president what they can do for you and not what you can do to give them power.
If a candidate ever voted to put you in the loser column by voting for the Iraq war, remember that as you cast your vote. I have not mentioned Hillary, not once in this diary.

Hillary, don't tears me sis
Hillary, don't tears me sis
The 2008 presidential campaign started off with Hillary as the inevitable establishment candidate. Her earlier attitude was that of supreme confidence bordering on a twinge of guarded arrogance.
To emphasize strength during the debates, Hillary stated that she was not being attacked because she was a woman but only because she was winning.
Hillary also stated that she won't attack other democratic candidates but would rather direct her attacks towards GWB and the republicans.
Hillary claims that she is more electable because she has been tried, tested, proven and stamped ready to be president.
Since then, Hillary's confidence meter has plummeted. She is now feeling the impact of the formidable Obama change movement. Things are happening fast and fear has struck the Clinton flag ship. By observing poll numbers in New Hampshire, the panic button was pushed and the distress alarm went off like this.
SOS to all women and sympathizers, I am in troubled waters and my ship has struck a rock. Water is boarding ship and I am sinking fast. Please dispatch rescue teams on the double to save me from instant doom. Please save my White House dream.
With a cleverly set stage, a planted person and a pre crafted question, Hillary performed and shed the mystery tears that to a great extent changed the dynamics of the New Hampshire primary.
The end result of this girly drama of course was a victory for Hillary Clinton. Under other circumstances, the tear drama could have passed as brilliant but since this race is to elect a president, the act was lamentable.
In the days leading to the primary, the tag team of Bill and Hillary launched a massive campaign, whining and complaining about bad press coverage and favoritism towards Obama. They marginalized Martin Luther King; race baited Obama and used the female card.
Given these events, it’s becoming crystal clear that Obama is the superior candidate for the job of president. Please Hillary, don’t tears me sis.

Hillary vs Obama, change trumps bad experience
This writer predicted the outcome of the Iowa democratic caucus with unabashed boldness, Obama to win, Edward to place and Clinton to show. It happened just as predicted because the hand writing was on the wall and it was clear enough for all the wise to see.
The Obama phenomenon is very inspiring and it provides sufficient impetus for Americans to be audacious and hopeful just like the man says.
What now New Hampshire?
This awesome Obama force that was unleashed in Iowa is going to gain momentum like the rush of an atomic blast that will sweep across this nation with unimaginable impact on the political, social and economic landscape of America and indeed the world.
There is no doubt, the Obama success in Iowa is going to be repeated in New Hampshire with the same impressive margin of victory and a decisive demolition of the vaunted Clinton machine. The people of New Hampshire like Iowans are going to show clarity of purpose and reasoning by choosing Obama over Hillary.
The Clintons represent the old and corroded institutions that have long since ceased to serve the best interest of America. It is not surprising that the message of hope and change so eloquently expressed by Obama is resonating so well amongst the afflicted and anxious masses.
Obama is the elegant, energetic and persuasive flag bearer of this new vision and has started the wave that will be almost impossible to arrest. Any one who stands in the way of this wave will be swept into obscurity and Hillary is feeling the punch.
Observe that all the candidates including the republicans are now echoing the substance of the Obama message of hope and change. This is a good thing and it also proves without a doubt, that Obama is an effective change driver. Obama while methodically dismantling the old guard is now setting new rules and performance standards for the other candidates of both parties to emulate. This is a stroke of genius.
Now, how's that for a candidate who is said to lack vital presidential experience? For those still unconvinced that Obama's superior ability trumps the superficial experience of Hillary and others, please stand back and watch a master at work. In the end, please vote for Obama in spite of yourself and invest in the future of America.
The Clintons have been around the block for a while and now the time has come to pass the torch of leadership to a new generation championed by Obama. The tide is changing, yesterday it was Iowa, today it's New Hampshire and tomorrow it will be South Carolina and then Super Tuesday. Good bye Hillary and welcome Obama. Long live America.
