Just when I thought that I was out Obama pulls me back in.

I’m definitely under the weather this morning so posting will be light, but I’m feeling up to at least reading my RSS feed after a restless night, a cocktail of over-the-counter medications, and plenty of fluids. Unfortunately for those of us tiring, even temporarily, of the Obama Wright scandal, it seems to be the only thing that the blogosphere wants to talk about. Great for pumping up the base prior to the general, bad for other news.

While the mainstream media has been touting Obama’s speech as the be all end all of the Wright controversy, for an example see the NYT’s latest Obamagasm, if you take the time to actually read all 4,881 words then you’ll see that it raises a hellva not more questions than we had before he got out there in front of every American flag in the county.

I’ve read at least a hundred posts (counting conservatively) concerning Obama’s attempt to bamboozle the American public today, and I bet we’ll have another hundred more to look forward to this morning. The great thing is about 90% of the critiques that I’ve seen are substantive; many of them will make great campaign ads in the fall, especially for use by 527s if Straight Talk is unwilling to confront the largest chink in Obama’s armor head-on out of some twisted sense of mutual respect.

The real question is will the MSM ask these questions or are they too giddy now that they have an excuse to go back to polishing Obama’s halo? Either way, the blogosphere will be on the case.
