The damage wrought by the Rev Wright debacle on Barack Obama’s presidential aspirations is illustrated by the fact that this Sunday he is sitting down with Tim Russert for an hour on Meet the Press. [TO SEND TIM RUSSERT SUGGESTED QUESTIONS FOR SENATOR OBAMA ON MEET THE PRESS CLICK HERE. ]

A full hour on Meet the Press is thought to be the toughest interview on television (far more potentially disastrous than a debate) and Obama must be desperate for a break. The downside, obviously, is that the interview goes badly on the eve of key primaries in North Carolina and Indiana.
Russert is a persistent questioner and Obama will have to be prepared to say more about what he knew about Wright’s views and when he knew it.
.
We respectfully suggest that Mr. Russert ask , and press for full and complete answers to, the following questions:
.
1. Obama has stated that he is a religious man. If so, why did he not take his family to church on the first Sunday after 9/11 during that time of national crisis and grieving? [Note-if he did, he would have heard Reverend Wright deliver his (infamous) sermon blaming America for the 9/11 attacks.]
2. Setting aside whether Obama was in the pews 5 days after 9/11 to hear the Reverend Wright blame the WTC attacks on America, Obama has described a very close relationship with Wright akin to an “uncle”. Presumably, they socialized frequently or at least with some degree of frequency. How is it that Wright and Obama never shared their mutual views on politics, philosophy, and American foreign policy—particularly in view of the interest of both men in those subjects and Obama’s political orientation?
3. How often did Obama socialize with Wright?
4. With what frequency did Obama attend services at Trinity?
