The Rev. Jeremiah Wright appears to be reveling in his return to the spotlight. His demeanor and words at the National Press Club were fiercely non-apologetic. He defended and repeated past comments.

All that is perfectly legitimate as a personal decision for the pastor who took a fierce pounding in the press. But it couldn't come at a worse time for the politician who endured a firestorm over Rev. Wright's sermon excerpts.

New fuel is being poured on the fire just as Sen. Obama faces voters in North Carolina and Indiana.

Rough patches are par for the course in presidential campaigns. Sen. Obama is struggling through a particularly difficult cycle at the precise moment he should be demonstrating the capacity to seize the Democratic nomination.

I am not a preacher and I certainly am not a fool, but the reason this country is in the shape it's in is because God is not in everything we do. God and his will should always come first in our lives. The liberals need to ask God to save their souls or their eternal home will be hell.
