Let’s put the Obama/Wright flap in context (Bill Allen / Atlanta Journal-Constitution)

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

... Friends and neighbors, you have a mind. Use it. If you do your own research and you come up with your own conclusions, pro or con, then you have done your job as a citizen. If you premise your argument by saying, “Hannity says this,” or, “Boortz says that,” or, “Reverend Wright said this,” then you are doing your country a disservice by not actively participating in the election process. Instead, premise your argument by saying, “this is what I found.”

I have questions for Obama that are far more in depth than his minister’s preaching. I say the same thing for Hillary, and for McCain. In the meantime, I’m going to do something different.

I’m going to turn off the TV and the radio, and I’m going to do some reading.

What do you think?

2. The responses are telling.
I can't live in Atlanta anymore.

3. Yep, it's a done deal for now. I'm glad it came up, and glad it's over. nt
