In any other context ...

   Once again venturing out of my comfort zone to do national politics, I
   am amazed at the restraint and spin regarding Senator Obama's
   unabashed lying about his twenty year association with his church and
   pastor. Even - especially - "no spin zone" Bill O'Reilly is giving
   Obama every nuance, every break possible, only none of it explains
   anything about this situation.
   I have no idea whether this will sink his candidacy or not. But I do
   know that Barack Obama is lying. In any other context, Obama would
   have no cover and no further credibility. You wouldn't accept such
   nonsense in your personal interactions. Why would you knowingly accept
   it from a Presidential candidate?
   Geraldine Ferraro gently tells the truth, perhaps at the wrong time
   and place, and she's out. Barack Obama overtly lies and somehow it's
   our problem. Our ministers have all made similar statements and we
   didn't walk out. His mother was a bigot at times, as ours must have
   been too, but he loves her just the same. Our whole society is still
   too racist to understand Rev. Wright's message in the proper context.
   So what? Obama is lying just the same, on a very serious matter as
   regards the Presidency.
   It's the second coming of Harold Hill. "When the man dances, certainly
   boys, what else? The piper pays him!"
