While our nation is at war, American families are being forced out of their homes, and gas is inching towards four dollars a gallon, we have more important issues to talk about than Obama's ex-pastor. I was personally troubled by Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s warped view of the world, and I understand why many Americans were angered by his message, but it’s ridiculous to think the former pastor's sentiment is a representation of Barack Obama's values or judgment. We would be no more justified in criticizing the whole of Christianity for Reverend Wright's comments than pundits and rival campaigns have been in criticizing Obama for vitriol the former pastor spewed. This election is about war, the economy, healthcare and our global climate crises. It's time we focused on these issues instead of what Obama's outlandish ex-pastor said.

Hillary's been touting her healthcare plan as superior to Senator Barack Obama's, and even went so far as to call Obama's plan a "betrayal" of Democratic values. But let's get real-- Hillarycare can't cover any American if her plan doesn't get through Congress. When universal healthcare is signed into law, it will be the largest expansion of government power since social security passed in 1935. So let's be honest-- does anyone believe Hillary can build the bipartisan majority in Congress necessary to pass her insurance plan?

My firm belief, as a Democrat, is that Hillary Clinton cannot pass universal healthcare.
