Krauthammer: "The 'Race' Speech Revisited"

A terrific column by Charles Krauthammer.

And don't miss Scott Johnson at Power Line.

The interesting thing, as both these men point out, is that Jeremiah Wright said absolutely nothing new this week. It was the fact Wright repeated his beliefs so publicly, annoying and insulting Obama in the process, which seems to have tipped Obama over the edge, rather than Wright's beliefs. If the content had been a problem for Obama, he would have renounced Wright long ago.

It's certainly interesting that a "post-racial" candidate who claims to want to practice a new style of politics is surrounded by so many angry people -- Wright, William Ayers, and his own wife.
