In The Words of my Favorite Attorney Cowboy Curtis

His review of Barack Obama's attempt at saving his chances for the Presidency:

He did all that he really could do. He brings up slavery, Jim Crow, that his grandma raised once said something mean about black people, and that now is a time for unity.

And its all a red herring. He isn't in trouble because whitey is out to get him, or because Jeremiah Wright says crazy stuff.

He's in trouble because for over 20 years, he's been a member of that church. A church where:
- The preacher curses America.
- The preacher curses white America.
- The preacher claims that FDR knew about Pearl Harbor, and let it happen anyways, just so the US could kill yellow people.
- The preacher claims the United States created the AIDs virus to kill off black people.
- The preacher states America only got what it had coming to it on 9/11.
- The preacher says America is the greatest killer of all nations, past and present.
- And the congregation cheered each time! Listen to the tapes, the crowd is roaring its applause. This isn't something out of the ordinary there, they are shouting their agreement! If it was a rare occurrence, it would have been the talk of the church for weeks. The entire congregation would have been abuzz over it. The only way that any one of these statements could have been uttered from the pulpit and not have been the topic of endless discussion for the next month is if it was nothing out of the ordinary.

There is simply no way that a man is can go to a church for 20 years and claim to be utterly shocked that not only is the preacher a foaming at the mouth moonbat racist, but that the whole congregation is, too. That is simply beyond credulity.

Not only has he raised his children in this most vicious of congregations, he has repeated named J. Wright as his spiritual, and sometimes political, advisor. And he and his wife have donated $22,500 to the church.

He's in trouble because Wright's statements are in perfect agreement with the stuff coming out of Michelle Obama's mouth: that America is a fundamentally mean country, and that this is the first time she has ever been proud of America. I suppose its possible that Barrack was immune to his pastor's tripe, but it doesn't seem like his wife is.

He's in trouble because the best defense he can offer is: This is black people stuff that goes on all the time in our churches, and you white folks just don't understand, and should ignore it because blacks are still upset about stuff that ended 130 years ago, and besides, I didn't know anything about it.

He's in trouble because he's spent his whole campaign talking about how race shouldn't be a consideration in his candidacy, yet he should get a complete pass on this because he's black and therefore special.

And finally, he pulls the unity card. America needs unity. Well, speaking for myself, if unity requires being cozy with people like J. Wright and the nuts in his congregation, then the hell with unity.

The man's been a charlatan all along, now the mask is off. His pretense that this is all somehow an insignificant sideshow would be laughable, if it weren't so sickening. Because, hey, what does it matter if the president thinks Americans created AIDs to kill off all the black people, just so long as he supports socialized medicine, hope, and changy-ness? Right?

And the sad thing is, if he gets the nomination, he'll still carry 15 states and 40% of the popular vote this November.
