Well - how convenient. I am calling shenanigans. I gotta say that I just don't buy it. It is not like Wright said these things this week and Obama jumped all over himself to denounce the statements. I see time and time again where Obama has had the opportunity to stand up against this but does not until he is forced for political expediency.
One of the clips is from 9/16/2001! Even if that was the first time that Wright had said something like this - that still means Obama stuck with him for 7 years!
Louis Farrakhan received the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award a year ago but Obama did not speak out against that until this January. That relationship goes back to at least the mid-eighties.
We are not talking about a simple endorsement here. We are talking about a close, personal and long standing relationship here. Obama says he is qualified to run because he has sound judgment. This, along with the Rezko stuff shows that his judgment is not sound.
Oh and please - the whole 'even if he said it - I didn't know about it'. Even Wright knew his association would hurt Obama - how can Obama say that he was clueless? You look at the reactions of the members of that congregation - it is not the first time that they are hearing this stuff nor does it look like an unwelcome message.
I am looking at the big picture. Even if this blows over for now and all Dems let it slide - I can guarantee you this will all be back front and center in the general election. Louder and larger. How many military votes will Obama hold onto when the GOP starts running the inevitable "God Damn America" ads? How much of the Jewish vote with stick with him when they unearth (or doctor) photos of Wright, Farrakhan and Gadaffi and then pair it with the smiling photo of Obama and Wright? And so on and so forth.
I am sorry but there is no way Obama will get elected in the general election. I do not take any joy in this because for all the supposed support for Hillary should she be the nom - I really see that if Obama drops out over this or the Supers sway with the wind and she becomes the nom - all that support will dry up and fall away as the disenchanted Obama supporters take their ball and go home.
According to BO in the interview on CNN last night. He siad he hadnt heard about any of this rederick UNTIL he started running for Pres (LIE). But yet still put him on his "Campaign Spiritual advisory Board"!!!!!!


This story WILL not go away or die down either! Even Anderson Cooper admitted that the he knew about this some time ago, and "didnt think it was a big deal". The Media AGAIN has dropped the ball!
