All the news outlets have been pounding on this story for days. I hope I've heard the last of the "preferencial treatment" whinners. Obama is taking some serious heat right now. If this story had come out early in the campaign Hillary would be way out on top.

Meanwhile, ABCnews got this one right for sure: Obama's Speech Applauded -- By Republican Foes

The reasoning in the article is compelling.

Republicans say they will combine the Rev. Wright's anti-American rhetoric with other moments -- such as Obama's removal of his American flag pin because he felt it had become a substitute for true patriotism or his not covering his heart during the national anthem last summer.

Other incidents, such as Obama's accepting money from a member of the Weathermen Underground or Michelle Obama's statement about feeling proud of the United States "for the first time in her adult life" because of her husband's campaign, may also be revisited.

Though the details may be inconsequential to some voters, and may be unfair, they may raise doubts about the candidate in other key constituencies.
