and, naturally the Clinton supporters are not amused.
The Story: Lanny Davis: Two Questions for Senator Obama (via The Huffington Post)
1. If a white minister preached sermons to his congregation and had used the "N" word and used rhetoric and words similar to members of the KKK, would you support a Democratic presidential candidate who decided to continue to be a member of that congregation?
2. Would you support that candidate if, after knowing of or hearing those sermons, he or she still appointed that minister to serve on his or her "Religious Advisory Committee" of his or her presidential campaign?
In fairness to the Clinton camp, they’ve pretty much have been mum about the whole Obama/Wright story. But Lanny Davis did ask the question on his own.
In fact, The Word on the street is that Maggie Williams told everyone in the Hillary camp to be quiet about the whole thing.
However, I will say this, as other as have as well. If Obama does not answer this question now and further distance himself from this story. He will not win in November.
