Senator Barack Obama has captured the world's attention unlike almost any other political figure of the era in which we live. However, despite all the theatrics surrounding the candidate and the almost messianic adoration displayed on the part of his followers, very few can possible tell you what he actually believes other than in "change", which, though sounding like everything you ever dreamed of, can actually consist of the stuff of nightmares.

Today is the designated national holiday, declared and lead by proponents of Black Liberation Theology; today all black Americans are not suppose to even talk to white people. Are Barack and Michelle on the campaign trail today, or just taking the day off for a simple rest, after all it is a Saturday.

It will be an interesting day.

Picking up where I left off here, there are still several interesting aspects about Obama's Wright is Wrong press conference this week that are worth unpacking. A reporter helpfully picked up on Obama's theme, asking how this might be yet another "distraction" for his messianic campaign.

Not enough here has been written about Obama's fragging of Rev. Jeremiah Wright. His press conference was a festival of hole digging, distraction (something Obama usually decries), and ... well ... outright lies.

 Obama learned Tuesday that he can no longer wave his fingers, say "this is not the issue you're looking for," and move along. The Force is no longer with him. The electorate is like, well, Jabba the Hutt, laughing uproariously about how that "old Jedi mind trick" won't work on him.

The Jedi mind trick won't work because of the various contradictions in the way Obama has handled his pastor disaster.
