Reply #87: As an Obama supporter

[TragedyandHope]

my first reaction upon hearing this was supposedly leaked by the Obama camp, was disappointment. Secondarily, this doesn't change my feelings about Rev. Wright at all, but it does cast a slight negative shadow over the Clintons *IF* you bought into the relentlessly overhyped smear campaign in the first place (which I did not).

With all the time the media and Obama have already spent on this "issue" (using the term loosely) and especially after Obama's thoughtful speech on Tuesday, which truly elevated the campaign, it's counter-productive to drag the issue out even longer with this ineffectual jab. On top of that, it detracts and takes airtime away from the news of Richardson's endorsement today.

This doesn't change my support of Obama or make me think any higher of Hillary, but it was a bad move.
