Michelle Malkin says it perfectly, but I couldn’t leave it alone.

Now that someone let Jack out the box, Obama is upset.

“I’m outraged by the comments that were made and saddened by the spectacle. The person that I saw yesterday was not the person I met 20 years ago. His comments were not only divisive and destructive, but they end up giving comfort to those who prey on hate. I believe they do not accurately portray the perspective of the black church. They certainly don’t portray mine. If he considers this political posturing, then he doesn’t know me very well. And I don’t know him well either.”

AIDS conspiracy: “Ridiculous proposition.”

Farrakhan support and analogy of Marines/terrorism: “They offend me. They rightly offend all Americans. They should be denounced. And that’s what I’m doing clearly and unequivocally here today.”
It’s antithetical to our campaign. It’s antithetical to what I’m about. It’s not what America stands for. Rev. Wright does not speak for me. He doesn’t speak for our campaign. I can’t prevent him from making these outrageous remarks…When I say I find these statements appalling, I mean it…Makes me angry and saddens me.”

‘Outraged,’ he says. Well it’s about time. With all the political pandering and embarrassing efforts to say all the right things, I didn’t think he had the capacity to be outraged. And what exactly has him so very angered?

What particularly angered me was the suggestion that my previous remarks were political posturing…”

Could it be the effect on his campaign? Hmm. Personally, I think the Obamessiah is outraged over the drops in his polls. Maybe it will make him bitter.

And you know the McCain camp is lovin’ it. You can SuperSize that and add an apple pie. In the election that the Democrats just couldn’t lose, we may just find ourselves with a McPublican in the end. (Am I out of McDonald’s references here? Probably)

Ah the glorious Mr. Hopechange! It’s a long drop from that pedestal. As Rachel Lucas points out, this is a damn fine cage match. Pass the beer and peanuts.
