Today at a press conference, Barack said when he goes to church it is not for spectacle, not to posture politically, not to hear things that violate his core beliefs and he says the extremists comments of Rev Wright, do not represent him or his campaign and he disavows them. Some of the most outrageous comments Wright made included about the US being complicit in HIV, 9/11. Beyond those conspiratorial views, he said he disavowed most of his “performance’ topics. He says Wrights assertion that he “just says what a politician has to say” is not what he or his whole life has been about and that Wright did him wrong.

This kind of straight talk is what I had thought I had heard even early in his campaign. As an independent who holds positions that disqualify me for gold label membership in either of the mainstream parties, as well as smaller parties also, I detected things in his speeches that I think will cause many of his ardent supporters to experience disappointment after he is in office (of course I mean “if”).

That is because, like all presidents, he would be presented with the world as it is, not as any of us would have it were we able to mold it. He will have to start with today and will have to make the near impossible decisions a president has to make even though most voters believe there truly is a single right or wrong decisions. Wrong. Not Wright.

At that time during which he gained early strength from mostly only liberal and progressives and idealistic college students as well as the inevitable extremists in those movements, the kind of extremists that exist in all movements, that energetic support was from an adoring constituency that could not see or hear what I believe I did.

Some of those extremists and others less extreme, give voice every day on the internet in endless conspiratorial tirades on sites that because I can see both sides and admit it, I am INELIGIBLE to be a blogger. Many of you know the names of those sites.

Will that prevent him from getting the nomination and if so from beating John McCain? I don’t know, conventional wisdom and probably Vegas odds seem to think so. But if I truly knew such things, beyond a belief or a hope, I would buy up and rename Hawaii to “Justo Land” and the airports and seaports would be private.
