This is probably all I have to say about this mess before Obama starts hurling his excuses this afternoon.

Here are some posts to peek at before Obama tries to quell the firestorm (or is it hellfire? I must be listening to too much Wright) this afternoon.

Sister Toldjah’s open thread.

Erick at Redstate ponders the moola.

The Audacity of Hate at NRO.

Gina Cobb has the inside scoop on how the speech will be opened.

Neocon Express plays it up YouTube style.

Byron York on what you might not know if you only read the NYT articles about this scandal.

Powerline explores the Obama Hustle.

Gateway Pundit links to the streaming video.

High Hewitt links to an American Thinker piece.

FellosseousFlap has some more YouTube goodness. Also a liveblogging link.

Michelle Malkin has more background. Obama is now finishing speeches with God bless America. Is that the regular fluffy cloud God or is it the God who must help destroy the white enemy?

Hot Air has twice the fun liveblogging.

Cassandra has some predictions.

Confederate Yankee liveblogs too.

Drudge has the transcript.

10AM CST: Obama makes a Freudian slip:

On one end of the spectrum, we’ve heard the implication that my candidacy is somehow an exercise in affirmative action; that it’s based solely on the desire of wide-eyed liberals to purchase racial reconciliation on the cheap.

He said wild wide-eyed liberals, not wide-eyed.

Everyone will no doubt be calling this a swift fix to the Wright controversy. It reads like his 2004 DNC speech to me.

This post will be updated throughout the day.
