Good Question

Jim Wooten thinks Louis Farrakhan just set himself up for a "Sister Soujah" moment at the hands of Barack Obama.

Two questions: Should Obama do it? Will he do it?

Remember, Obama is the candidate currently singing the praises of unity, bragging about the multiracial coalition he's built, and telling overflow crowds across the country that he's the one who has the courage to tell us not only what we want to hear but what we need to hear.

Instead of whining about 527 spending on behalf of Obama in Texas and Ohio as they have over the past couple days, the Clinton campaign should try and make Farrakhan's praise of Obama an issue.

It'd be smart to put Obama on the spot and try and get him to repudiate Farrakhan. If he doesn't, she wins. If he does, well, then at least the country wins, and Clinton will have forced Obama to live up to the lofty rhetoric and the standard he's set for himself and others in this campaign.
