A new kind of politics, part ...
Obama promises to meet with Iran's leaders without preconditions, and then his surrogates deny that he did. Nice try. That may work with the New York Times, but the rubes aren't falling for it.

If McCain loses in November, we had all better just get used to it. This one doesn't even take the time and bother that WJC did to carefully word then parse instructively for us what was said. Here we have blatant lies, denial of public and on-record statements, and so many logical inconsistencies that the mind recoils.
I think the most instructive thing to be taken from the "Wright" issue is that Obama is saying, for the record, that he sits in church and is oblivious to what is spoken there. Why go? Why not go to another church? Church is not just about the individual sitting in the pew, it's about the congregation, about being part of a spiritual community. How could one be so among people whose views are so radically different (supposedly) from your own. It's a bit like a Unitarian being comfortable in an Orthodox Jewish congregation. Doesn't wax, doesn't fly. Fair warning to all.
