By now, everyone knows that Senator Barack Obama is a christian and a former member of South Side Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ.

And, that Reverend Jeremiah Wright, pastor of that church, is an outspoken community advocate for the black struggle in America.

Senator John McCain and his campaign has long known that, and earlier this month McCain declared that Reverend Wright is a subject that is off limits for attack by his campaign.

TV ads began running recently that use Reverend Wrights statements to draw a picture of Obama as a radical.

Obama made a very public statement (see videos at the end of this article) as to why it is wrong to ask that he distance himself from Reverend Wright, regardless of his views and statements. And, when Reverend Wright made comments that Obama could not sit with, not only did Obama resign his membership from that church in May, but also denounced those comments.

So, either McCain is a liar, or he simply cannot control his people anymore than he can his running-mate. McCain has previously run ads that Obama is untested and not ready to lead, when in reality this example shows that McCain has been tested and has failed that test. Just another reason to vote for Barack Obama tomorrow.
