It seems Barack made a very conventional and not &#8220;change&#8221; worthy mistake that could come back to haunt him, telling a half or untruth by denying he had ever heard his &#8220;Uncle&#8221; Jeremiah hurling his more extreme Jeremiads. This is almost impossible to believe and even David Gergen &#8211; America&#8217;s own refugee from the Medici Court &#8211; raised an eyebrow. Will Obama be finished by this (and the ongoing Rezko affair)? Hard to tell. But the innocent days of &#8220;Hope&#8221; and &#8220;Change&#8221; are now as distant as a Doris Day movie. When I saw the word &#8220;Change&#8221; behind him on the video screen last night, I almost laughed. Even if he wins the nomination, he will have a hard time selling himself as the second coming of anything.]]>Sat, 15 Mar 2008 09:28:03 -0400<![CDATA[Roger L.
