53. "If you think Rev Wright is prejudiced, you should hear what my white grandma says sometimes."
This is a classy defense from Barack and proves that Obama understands the old magician's trick of distraction.

Remember folks, the issue here is NOT what the Reverend Wright has been preaching over the past 20 or 30 years to audiences of hundreds or thousands of church-goers including Barack and Michelle Obama and their young children.

No, the issue is whether we should be expecting Barack to denounce his white grandmother, the woman who raised him, because she once privately admitted that sometimes she experiences feelings of fear and suspicion when she is walking along the sidewalk and sees one or more black men walking towards her.

PLEASE let's not take our eye off the ball and let's remember who is the REAL racist here!

:sarcasm:
