The Yes or No for taxes is very misleading. Obama is only raising taxes on incomes over $250,000. McCain's plan adds significantly more to the deficit, which is not economically sound.

Raise Taxes
Obama: YES
McCain: NO

After reading hundreds of blogs, this is the first one where anyone has defended George W Bush.

I am also surprised to see the hate responses and personal attacks on other posters. I expected posters would display a Christian attitude.

In reaction to an article about his book, the author wrote a blog about misrepresentations of his book. "I have not defended Jeremiah Wright. I have explained him. I gave an overview of his life, explained black liberation theology (asking experts to check my work) and then I took the reader inside Trinity Church in Chicago where months before I spent a good deal of time trying to understand. Explaining is not defending."

Many well-respected pastors that have defended Rev Wright. Many people have passed judgment on a 35 yr career based on sound clips from a less than reputable cable show. I listen to several complete sermons and read many opinions about Wright. I agree with Obama's statement that Wright was too much in the past and had not recognized the positive improvements in race relationships.

Although I am white, I try to step into others shoes for understanding. I am old enough to remember separate swimming pools, schools, and the riots of the 60s. The anger from mistreatment does not just go away. I encounter anti-white Hawaiians that were too young to remember when the white people took over their country; yet the anger was still there.

I pray that each of you read the book to gain insight and understanding.
