What, to me, seems a shame about the Rev. W. is that a great deal of "spin" has been placed on his words - and, having listened to his entire speech or presentation before the press people a couple mornings ago: He made some rather profound points that I wish would not be buried or lost during all the campaign hoopla-la. But, that is what is happening and, now, Obama has publicly divorced Rev. W. .

Meanwhile, I don't think that B.O needed offer apologies for anything. What'd the man do wrong? Nothing, in my view.

One day, maybe, Rev. W.'s presentation will be reviewed and understood... with historical context. I hope.

I just feel, now, in the days following: Was I hearing something totally different than the pundits? I doubt it. Did I somehow miss the messages? I don't think so. Just what I heard didn't have spin. That doesn't draw ratings.

I suspect, these days, everything just has to be so PC or a person doesn't stand a chance.
