99. Apples and oranges agrument. One is personal and the decision
must be made one on one between her and Bill. The other is a public speech "damning America". I listened to Rev. Wright's entire speech and he had a valid point. I'm ashamed of what my Country has done in the past several years too, thus I guess I would be judged anti American too.

Part of the problem is the media taking the 30 second bite from his speach. but Rev. Wright could have phrased it differently too. H just as easily could have said "God Bless America, but America has been WRONG!"

I sure can't and won't try to tell Rev. Wright what to do or say, but in the days of Youtube, all speakers need to think about how a partial sentence of something they say will be used against them or their friends. I HATE THAT, but I have no idea how to change it either.
