It's a long way to November, but right now it's looking more and more like a McCain presidency, which is just ridiculous.

I just listened to the vid. in the OP and while it was a bit redundant and lengthy, the guy is exactly right and I'm glad to hear a brother lay it down like that. I've experienced Wright's sort of pugnacious black pride before and it's a tough one.
I'm thinking that the best route for Nov. is Hillary/Obama. Clinton is older and IS more experienced, Obama is too badly wounded to win it all. Hillary and Bill would never settle for the vice presidency while Obama at least has a logical reason to do so, as he was merely a state legislator in the recent past.
McCain has plenty of dirt in his pen, Hagee can be seen on video making remarks on Catholocism every bit as rude as Maher and less rational. And, McCain is dirty as sin with lobbyists.
On the flip side, one more 'Bush term' ought to make it clear (at the expense of major damage to the nation) that the Repo vision as currently practiced is just not sound.
