Barack Obama is preparing to deliver a major address Tuesday on race, politics and unifying the country after being hounded by questions about his relationship to a pastor whose sermons have been laced with anti-American invective.
“I am going to be talking about, not just about Reverend Wright but just the larger issue of race in this campaign, which has ramped up over the last couple of weeks,” Obama told reporters after a town-hall meeting. “Part of what I’ll do tomorrow is to talk a little about how some of these issues are perceived from within the black church community, for example, which I think views this very differently.”
With the constant attention on Wright, Obama’s strategists planned the speech, deciding they could no longer ignore the percolating issues that are distracting from the candidate’s message of hope and change.
“Given the events of the past few weeks, and some of the statements that have been made, Senator Obama felt it was an important moment to address the issue of race, politics and how we bring our country together,” Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor said Monday. Good move on Obama's part. He will try to cool down the fire's that are about to burn, his chances for 08 race, to the ground. It appears that he is trying to get the negative news, of recent, out in the air and over with. This day could make or break him! How much do you think this will help him? Is it possible to silence some of the negative press?

This will help Obama stop all the lies.
Watch Obama get a bounce out of all this.
Will not help. The press will be all over Obama now. They will never stop till the end of the race.
Clinton will be all over this for the next few weeks. Obama can't explain Dr. Wright.
Obama is a lier. There is no change in him. Watch and learn.
Wow, this will not earse 20 years. He is done!!
Obama can't shake the Wright story. Wait till McCain gets hold of him in a few weeks.
Hillary got to be loveing this. But, she can't close the door on him.
McCain going to take this speech and shove it to Obama.
This will help clear the air for Obama. I agree, good move.
Clinton can't stop the train. lol
