Clear thinking and writing from Jennifer Rubin as usual. What Jennifer needs to do now is convince her editor at Commentary that a full article on Black Liberation Theology is long overdue.

Thus far, facile avoidance by the candidate abetted by an adoring media has limited the exposure of Obama’s grotesque friends and their viciously loony ideas to gotcha snippets that couldn’t be suppressed. What’s required from the Republican opposition are long, retrospective close-ups.

What does Obama’s secret understairs meeting with his racist, America hating minister before the campaign kickoff ceremonies say about Obama’s notions of transparency? What does it say of Obama’s respect and regard for the voters, even his enthusiastic supporters waiting upstairs to cheer him on? What does it say about his honesty and character in general?

Merely stating that Obama is an empty suit is not enough. The candidate’s vacuity needs full and detailed public discussion.
