Flailing campaigns and flying pigs.

No one can argue that Obama displayed anything even remotely resembling leadership in his delayed decision to throw his 'spiritual mentor', Jeremiah Wright, under the bus. But, that doesn't matter now because he's made the split, right?

Wrong.

In his speech, he praised his new pastor, Rev. Otis Moss.

You know, the new pastor--the young pastor, Rev. Otis Moss, is a wonderful young pastor. And as I said, I still very much value the Trinity community. This--I'll be honest, this obviously has put strains on that relationship, not because of the members or because of Rev. Moss but because this has become such a spectacle.

The problem is, Moss preaches the same divisive sorts of things that Wright did. His Easter sermon was a defense of Wright that analogized Wright to Christ titled "How to Handle a Public Lynching."

Beyond that, Wright's not taking the rejection well. Which means that he's sure to continue appearing at times that are particularly inconvenient for Obama. And, he's not being shy about calling 'Bullsh-tuff' on Barack's assertion that he didn't know what kinds of things Wright believed.

From the New York Post:

"After 20 years of loving Barack like he was a member of his own family, for Jeremiah to see Barack saying over and over that he didn't know about Jeremiah's views during those years, that he wasn't familiar with what Jeremiah had said, that he may have missed church on this day or that and didn't hear what Jeremiah said, this is seen by Jeremiah as nonsense and betrayal," said the source, who has deep roots in Wright's Chicago community and is familiar with his thinking on the matter.

So, what was it that finally got Barack mad enough to reject his pastor and friend?

The New York Times has the answer:

"Whatever relationship I had with Reverend Wright has changed as a consequence of this," Mr. Obama said Tuesday. "I don't think that he showed much concern for me. More importantly, I don't think he showed much concern for what we're trying to do in this campaign and what we're trying to do for the American people."

Look at his order of priorities.

1. Himself,
2. His campaign, and then
3. The American people.

Obama was upset because Wright didn't show any concern for him or his campaign. Wright is upset because Obama didn't show much concern for him or his church. These two narcissistic blowhards deserve each other.

Meanwhile, in other news, the people who put together the Coachella Music Festival in California have put out a $10,000 reward and four free tickets for life for the safe return of a giant, flying pig.

Have you seen this pig? It's huge, inflatable, features the word "Obama" and it has lost its way ...

As tall as a two-story house and as wide as two school buses, the pig was led from lines held on the ground Sunday as Waters played a version of Pink Floyd's "Pigs" from the 1977 album "Animals." Then it just floated away.

"It wasn't really supposed to happen that way. I don't have the details," Rondan told The Associated Press.

As for safety concerns, Rondan speculated, "Because it's inflatable, as it loses air it becomes less and less dangerous."

Perhaps it's just me, but the flying Obama pig sounds a lot like the flailing Obama campaign ...
