Okay, I know mail to Capitol Hill is running 100 to 1 (or more) against the bailout. I also know Congressional leaders are telling us that, once we Americans become aware of the consequences, we'll change our minds and realize the bailout is necessary. So we're in the sad situation of choosing between rescuing the fatcats of Wall Street or being responsible for the economic apocalypse. How do you rationally make such a choice?

I showed up at noon today at Mother A.M.E. Zion Church in Harlem, and joined several hundred Obama supporters for the kick-off of the national voter registration drive. As we entered the sanctuary, everyone was given a clipboard with 30 blank voter registration cards. We heard inspiring remarks from the church pastor (a nephew of Paul Robeson) and several local Democratic pols. Followed by a short training session in how to help folks fill out the cards. From there people went directly out onto the streets, to their own neighborhoods, and spent the afternoon engaging the public.

I have a love-hate relationship with the Charlie Rose show. Right now I'm in hate mode. Over the years some of the best political interviews on television have been conducted at his round table. Even though Rose's ego is usually front and center. In spite of his prominent ego, in fact.

I'm of course disappointed by the events of the past 48 hours, but my commitment to and love for Barack Obama remain as firm as ever. I do not blame Rev. Wright for this mess. Rather, I blame the corporate-owned media, for whom objectivity and fairness are dirty words. I could go on and on about how poorly I feel Rev. Wright has been treated, but that would distract from the primary purpose of this diary.
