Fanatic Wright
I believe that Rev. Jeremiah Wright is a not-too-bright, publicity-hungry religious fanatic who wants to immortalize himself by going down in history in the only way he truly desires: by standing on the shoulders of a famous politician, Barack Obama, and basking in Obama’s reflected fame and glory.
That goes against the notion of a true religious leader, as opposed to a hypocrite, who actually believes that after his mortal sojourn on Earth, he’ll enter into his second life in heaven, thereby immortalizing himself.
Apparently Wright doesn’t really believe in heaven.
Also he has failed in his attempt to stand on Obama’s shoulders. Instead he’s managed to stand on the poor man’s head, in an apparent and paradoxical attempt to crush him into the ground and bury him.
However, I believe that Obama is too superior, far beyond Wright, and much smarter than Wright, to let that happen. His intelligence shines through in his wise responses to Wright’s maniacal ravings.
If Obama does not win the nomination as a result of Wright’s damaging outbursts, coupled with the phenomenon of guilt by association, then Wright can relieve himself of any feelings of guilt simply by proclaiming, like any true religious fanatic, that “It was God’s will.”
That gives him license to do and say anything. And he’s foolishly using it to the hilt.

Democratic woes
Just look at the Democrat Party efficiency. Two elections ago, it took Al Gore and nine Supreme Court justices to lose the election. This year, it is taking Barack Obama only one former pastor to lose the nomination.
