Why would they?

He is not Bill's moral compass or pastor or childrens god father.

Actually, I think the truth is Rev. Wright is nowhere near as bad as is being depicted in the couple clips we've been seeing over and over. I think this picture demonstrates he's a lot closer to the mainstream in the black church community than many whites would like to believe.

Bill Clinton is not running for President. Hillary should be judged on her own accord. One breakfast does not make 20 years disappear.

Minister Wright should be the one embarrassed by this photo as it was he who was condemning Bill Clinton in a very disturbing way to a church full of people.

You tried to link Bill Clinton to the man vbecause he happened to be at an event with him.

Obama went to his church for 20 years hardly the same.

Please explain how that would be the same?

Wright wouldn't have been at the WH prayer breakfast if he was the wild man portrayed by the media. I don't think whites understand black churches. Either that, or there's a component of racism going on.

Here's the deal. When the media and talk radio play up Obama's association with this reverend as they did and makes a guilt association with Obama and Wright, even though Obama has renounced the remarks, then one should assume, given the media's coverage of this event, that Clinton should alsobe guilty by association.

Still not the same thing. Their is not guilt by association. They were just letting the voters know Obama has gone to this mans church for 20 years. A church that Oprah had good enough reasons to leave. If this is what he spewed all the tie then shame on Clinton for inviting him. (not that Bill even picked the pastor at the breakfast)

This was an interesting attempt from the Obama camp to send attention in a different direction. Wonder if it will work.
