Why does he not remember JFK and RFKs place with Dr. King in the civil rights movement? Selective memory? His commens are "jaw dropping". Wright is a circus act. Obama is being "done in" by his own people. Wright, certainly remembers the wrongs of the past when it comes to segregation and treatment of blacks.

He, and those republicans, struck me as selfish, obtuse and infantile, angry at their parents. Bill Clinton gave voice to democrats for the first time in years, unfortunately the country was still caught up in the greed of the eighties, and then the selfish, short sightedness of "libertarian" silicone valley. He was, though, for me, our first real democratic president, and a wonderful role model, brilliant, and empathetic, not afraid to fight, really, like Kennedy.

We should ask ourselves: Had JFK not been assassinated, would we look upon his presidency with more critically astute hindsight? How would the myth mutate or unravel?

What happens to this country if Obama is assassinated? I am sorry beyond words to speak that. I don't want him for president, but I sure don't want the conspiracy that does not exist (who are watching their monetary financial scam go through an implosion that does not exist) who were trying to use him to be sure Clinton would not get the nomination, and are now scrambling for plan B, to do this. What better way to serve the final blow to what was once our great country? I am seriously shaken. I said "If very recent, I find the implications mind boggling." Wright is stirring up the rationalization that will be used to explain the action I fear. If someone had experience with intel analysis, I'd want them to look and see if they see a pattern here. I have no such credentials or experience. Shit! I'm shook. I will seriously try to shut up. Tell me why I'm wrong. Please. Oh my God. What happens to this country if Obama is assassinated?
