As the controversy over the statements of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright exploded onto the national scene last week, perhaps the most inflammatory comment was one that could be played in a 5 second sound bite: "Not God Bless America, but God damn America"(source).
In trying to manage the fallout from these inflammatory comments, Barack Obama has added a little closing line to some of his speeches. For the first time in the entire campaign, Barack Obama closed a speech with "God Bless You and God Bless America" (source). Obviously, Obama is trying to tacitly blunt the fallout from Rev. Wright's comments.
