Obama: Two Standards - Don Imus vs. Jeremiah Wright

In April of '07, Sen. Barack Obama called on MSNBC to fire Don Imus for describing a college basketball team as 'nappy-headed hoes'.

In April of '07, Sen. Barack Obama disavowed Rev. Wright's statements but chose to keep him on staff.

During this same month the NYTimes reports that Obama indicated he would have to 'distance himself' from Wright if he won the primary.

In March of '08 Obama said he'd never heard such inflammatory language from Rev. Wright.

Less than a week later he admitted he'd heard Wright's 'controversial' statements while attending sermons and asked the country to understand.

Did Senator Barack Obama have two different reactions to the 'unbelievably offensive statements' from Don Imus and those from the Reverend Jeremiah Wright?

Why did it take public outcry for Rev. Wright to be removed from Obama's staff?

Didn't Obama vehemently say "anybody who made a comment like that about... any ethnic group" would not be working for him?

Did he forget his pastor was still on his campaign staff?

Do Obama's standards change depending on the situation or the people involved?

Does Obama have the foresight, wisdom or experience to be an effective leader?

Is there anything else he's forgotten?

maybe nobama should be asked about Ayers Wright and Rezco!! maybe he should be asked about his card carrying commie mentor when he was a kid! maybe he should stop all the non-answers and tell us all about his platform,although I know all I need to know about Marxism!

Obama is talking out two sides of his face. I actually find Rev. Wright more condemnable because he was speaking from the pulpit. People look up to him and take him seriously. Don Imus is a shock jock. His comment was a joke and not to be taken seriously.

@MrStreetService If that racist should be allowed to spread his ignorance, why shouldn't Don Imus too? I find nappy headed hoes less insulting than God damn America spoken at the pulpit, then repeated. That is my opinion. Freedom of speech isn't "sometimes..." or "if....", it's always, no matter if you agree with it or not.
