Just Mad!

As I watched Barak Obama on Meet the Press yesterday, I was just mad. Yet I couldn't tell who to be mad with. Is it Obama's own intuitions that compel him to step further and further away from the prophetic tradition of the church—embodied in the untimely protests of Rev. Jeremiah Wright—or is it the dominant culture (of all races) demanding this kind of political expediency from him in an effort to maintain their delusions of blamlessness?

I don't know. What I do know is that the net result is to establish a public square in which no critique of America is ever considered, whether just or not. Such a mindset is just mad within a democracy.
