Why’s the media focusing on the so-called Reverend Wright when they should focus on Obama’s liberalism/issues?

“The fact that so many people are surprised to hear that anger in some of Reverend Wright’s sermons simply reminds us of the old truism that the most segregated hour in American life occurs on Sunday morning”. (Really? I have blacks in my church, they are part of our community and activities, and we don’t have a pastor who blames America first.)

I think this article is more accurate about Obama:

The below article is interesting too; however, it leaves out one critically important point: a “President Obama” would have to continue to “bargain” with whites (and everyone) in order to set his priorities and get actionable objectives through Congress:

Should You Pay Sales Tax On Internet Shopping?

anon in idaho asked:


As bargain-hunters know, you don’t have to pay sales taxes on Internet purchases unless the vendor has a store, office or distribution center in your state. But due to budget shortfalls, many states say they need the estimated $15 billion that Internet sales taxes would generate. Congress soon will debate a bill allowing at least 22 states to require most online sellers to collect sales taxes. Retailers like the online marketplace eBay disagree with it. Says eBay spokesperson Kim Rubey, “Given the economy right now, we believe it’s not the time to impose a major new tax burden on small businesses that use the Internet for sales.” Should Internet sales be taxed?
