47 dead Americans in Iraq last month. Lets talk about Rev Wright!
47 dead Americans in Iraq last Month.
I’ll say it one more time.
47 dead Americans in Iraq last month.
That makes April the deadliest month in Iraq since September of last year.
That’s big news, right? 47 dead American soldiers. A rising American death toll. And we’re electing a president this year that will determine our course in Iraq. Should be dominating headlines, don’t you think?
But it’s not - what’s in the headlines for the last 72 hours? The story of the relationship between a presidential candidate and his reverend.
Americans are sick of politics as usual. But here we are again in another political season dominated by the drama. Why is it when it comes time to pick a president our political coverage turns into the National Enquirer. and this “he said, he said” stuff with Obama and Wright is the worst of it so far. We’re the world’s lone superpower, about to elect the most powerful executive in the world and just yesterday, the catastrophic war we’re fighting, just got more catastrophic….
I don’t know who’s more at fault, the Media, the politicians, or the American public, two-thirds of whom think the war in Iraq is a tragic mistake. But our national inability to focus on what really matters when it comes to election time, well, maybe that’s why the 47 american soldiers were killed in the first place.
