THEN AND NOW

The left wing of the media and the blogosphere has gotten a little carried away by Barack's defense of his mentor, Jeremiah Wright. We've heard some commentators who think that Barack's speech is the most moving American oration since the days of Dr. Marin Luther King, Jr. We don't think Barack -- or his mentor -- hold a candle to the brilliance that preceded them.

But don't believe me, judge for yourself.

Then - the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr:





And now, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright:




Even to put Wright's video in the same post with Dr. King's is too much.

And Wright's disciple, Senator Barack [middle name redacted] Obama, is going to bring American together?

Face it, as John Derbyshire said today at the Corner:

Having slept on the matter, I am now going to come out of the closet and declare clearly and firmly that I don't like Barack Obama one little bit.

What kind of person would traduce his grandmother (who is still alive) to score a political point? Yesterday's speech, read through in the clear light of dawn, is worse than I thought: an ugly mish-mash of ancient socialist clichés and Gen-X spoiled-brat self-congratulation, all enveloped in clouds of flatulent Oprahnian rhetoric. Ugh!

Obama's just a red-diaper baby with a nice smile. I actually like Jeremiah Wright better than I like Obama. At least you know where you are with Wright. Obama, I wouldn't trust to mail a letter.

Don't think so? Just watch him in action:





A slick Chicago operator giving cover to a race-baiting hate-monger.
