Barack Obama spoke about the economy today.

Rev. Wright didn't think much of Italians, either:
Wright's latest controversy comes from a eulogy he wrote for Asa Hilliard. The article appeared in a November/December 2007 edition of Trumpet, a magazine run by Wright's daughters. He was quoted as calling Italians "garlic noses" and saying Jesus' crucifixion was "a public lynching Italian-style."
The comments were written before Obama publicly denounced other controversial statements by Wright.
