About this cartoon: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama seems to be a genuinely caring person committed to inclusiveness and harmony. Unfortunately, his church of choice in Chicago has a firey preacher, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who has espoused anti-Israel and anti-U.S. sentiments, and who has honored louis Farrakhan, known for his anti-Semitic remarks. Obama gave a terrific speech about race in which he denounced this bigotry... after so very long, and after trying to pretend he hadn't been aware of it.
