Perkins: Jeremiah Wright and Bill Clinton Are Cramps
New York State Senator and Obama supporter Bill Perkins, who is partial to sports metaphors, likened Barack Obama's remarks distancing himself from Reverend Jeremiah Wright today to a marathon runner overcoming a bad cramp.
"Do you want that cramp? No." said Perkins, "Are you ready to deal with the cramp? Yes."
Obama, he said, was not the only candidate in the race suffering from sudden and painful spasms.
"Look," Perkins said. "Bill Clinton might have been somebody else's cramp."
Leaving the metaphor alone for a moment, Perkins said that he appreciated Obama's remarks.
"I'm just happy that he stood up like that and refocused," he said.

And lickily, Obama is not married to his cramp!
As a Hillary supporter, I could not stand the BS way that Obama has been handling this race hate matter. Finally, he broke with Wright and actually sounded sincere about it.
Kind of took Obama a long time to speak out. Nooo noo not a clue about Wright's political view's ! only twenty year's!

Hillary would be irritable bowel syndrome; Obama would be heartburn; and McCain would be lumbago.
