On Re. Clyburn's comments regarding Rev. Wright was on time. I also wondered why the Rev. spoke out at a critical time in the campaign of Senator Barack Obama. I believe he had encouragement by someone in the Clinton campaign. I am also proud to be alive to experience this opportunity for an AA to run for the highest office in the land.

Maybe Senator Obama will learn that (1) 9/11 is blowback: (2) just before three stirkes laws were passed there was a push to "create" the young, black, male predator: (3) Looking at the history of "medicine" and US government I also believe anything is possible.

I guess maybe he forgot all those talks he had with his "mentor" or was he simply just saying what he had to say in order to become a member of trinity!

The interview, with Mr. Clyburn was right on the money.I think the way he felt about Rev. Wright, "eating his young" was, what can I say, symbolic of the "TRUTH" of the matter.Great interview Farai !
