This situation appears to show BObama’s lack of experience. Undecided voters may be swayed away from his campaign. Only time will tell. If he does well in North Carolina he should be ok. As for HClinton - she should stay in the race until the convention or until she runs out of money. Why quit? She may be the last candidate standing.

Like it or not, the whole Rev. Wright fiasco has opened America’s eyes to the hatred and fear that still exists in both racial camps, and there is no “post-racial” candidate. My problem with Obama’s long association with the congregation is that he was intellectually dishonest about it. For me, it’s not the so-called anti-american speak that bothers me, its the promotion of hatred or, at least justification of hatred. Obama, ever the intellectual, allows the perameters to become too broad in what is acceptable if one is truely trying to heal and unite. While one must listen to all points of view, one must also stand up and reject those views that are adding to the problem rather than to the solution. Obama knew that Rev. Wright’s comments, the ones that he admits to hearing, would not be acceptable to a large segment of the white populace, but he was dishonest with Rev. Wright and the voters. He allowed Rev. Wright to BELIEVE that he agreed with him but simply had to keep him in the background because lesser intelluctuals wouldn’t understand such an association. His view that blue collar white voters are inferior intellectually was left out of his professorial explanation at his San Francisco fund raiser as to why they would not vote for him. I think he showed poor judgement in attempting to run for office so early in his career without any real political experience. Frankly, I think that each and every debate that he had with Hillary should have told him that he was not ready. Now, if this fiasco is fatal to his candidacy, he can not even run as Hillary’s V.P. If he does get the nomination, I am affraid he will not be elected.

From the “drop out question,” the thing that disturbs me about Wright is, lots of my gay friends go to black churches because they are black and have to listen to the homophobic nonsense of the black ministers, but go because that is their community. And are all catholics responsible for the nutso pronouncements of the popes on homosexuality, a woman’s right to choose, fill-in-the-blank? As we all know by now, I’m not an Obama supporter. But I object to his being saddled with this. Do we also have to hold him responsible for the opinions of his barber? His dry cleaner? If he agrees with this man and is lying about it, that’s one thing. But he said, “Whoa, Charlie, that’s not me talking.” I believe he goes to that church for community. Most of my black friends do. Perfectly reasonable, rational people. But they do love to stand and sway and clap to the music (as do I) and that’s where it happens. There just isn’t a lot of atheist or agnostic gospel music around, friends. I’ve been to a bull fight, but I don’t believe in blood sport. Give the guy a break on this one. And Go Hillary!

No. Because everybody has made up his/her mind by now. Based on my observations, I believe that our racist country does not have the capacity to overcome its deeply rooted prejudices to elect [such a talented] “black” man or a woman as the President. That’s sad. Because, election of Obama is the only way to re-gain the pseudo-moral high ground that is lost due to the savage infringements on the rights (his atrocitic-invasions and disrespect for Constitution, privacy laws, and treaties). Pseudo-respect/moral-high-grounds, because our invasions and meddlings of our 150-years past does not deserve any degree of respect and looking-up at our country. The reason is that we as individuals have been disengaged ourselves from watching and demanding the government to be real servant of us. The utmost shame goes to the self-censoring journalists and mass media.

If Rev. Wright would fade away, we would all soon forget about him. But, Jeremiah Wright doesn’t want this to happen. Is he hurting Obama? Yes he is. Does Wright care? Apparently not. Wright wants to keep that pot boiling because it wouldn’t be nearly as much fun if we all got along.
