diversions ahead

Yesterday a story came out about President Obama and his former Pastor, Jeremiah Wright. A plot was supposedly hatched by a Republican who is backing Romney and put up the money for an ad which investigates the relationship between the president and Wright.  A book written recently included a three hour interview with Wright and goes into much detail about things which could hurt the Obama reelection. All the noise is about the attempt by the Romney backer and his ad which delves into this relationship between Obama and his past not only with Wright but insight about the thinking of Obama.

To me it is easy to see why the left is up in arms about this ad.  It's their normal reaction to block the right if they attempt to show anything about this presidents' past which isn't in his own handwriting. But it goes further than that, and it boils down to keeping the public attention on anything except the economy. If Democrats have to defend the economy then they lose. Therefore you can look for all the president's men and women to do everything they can to push, twist, bend, distort, as much of the truth as possible. This is one of the reasons we have gone through some "incidents" such as Sandra Fluke, war on women, Bain Capitol, Jeremiah Wright and who knows what other distraction will be coming down the road next so just keep your common sense on the clock and working full time.
