The Obama campaign calls the security breach at the State Department "outrageous." Barack Obama is capable of outrage? Really? One could be forgiven for doubting after Obama's limp-wristed response to the truly outrageous and incendiary rhetoric of Obama's advisor, Pastor Wright. Where was Obama's outrage when Wright slandered his government, the nation of Israel, his fellow Americans, his fellow blacks, and his non-black neighbors? Just a smidgen of outrage from the Obama camp would have gone a long way.
Perhaps Obama is fuzzy on the definition of the word. According to Merriam-Webster, "outrageous" means "going beyond all standards of what is right or decent ." State Department employees imprudently satisfying their curiosity is perhaps outrageous; the point is open to debate. But is there any doubt that Wright's comments are truly, fully, and indisputably outrageous, deserving of unequivocal opprobrium, and beyond all standards of what is right or decent?
Once again, the Obama campaign demonstrates little in the way of perspective.
