It's impossible that the Wright thing helps

[spotbird]

Obama, isn't it?

Maybe people will listen to Wright's words?

[high density]

1. Well it kind of negates that "Obama is a Muslim" thing... NM

[spotbird]

7. Good point. nt

[pdxmom]

13. Can you imagine what's going on in the minds of that 13% who thought

Obama was a Muslim??? They must be thoroughly confused.

Of course, by next week, we'll probably be seeing that Wright's church is actually a Muslim mosque in disguise.

2. It's a little confusing that Obama has rejected Wright's words.

[anonymous171]

3. If he can play it as his belief in Unity and listening to people no matter how crazy their opinions.

4. What did the minister Wright say that you disagree with...I have

heard people here say much of the same thing...please tell me which part of his speech did you disagree with???

[spotbird]

9. That's my point

much of what Wright said is true. The AIDS stuff is over the top, and the DAMN AMERICA stuff is horribly inflammatory.

5. It's 527 effect has been diminished.

6. I just don't understand how anyone can go around dictating what is possible and what isn't. nt

8. I think this is firing up Obama supporters MORE!

Just watching Obama on Fox. They are fired up!

Nobody knows how many black voters will turn out this Nov. But everyone agrees it will be huge!

10. A Clinton supporter friend

just called and brought it up as evidence that Obama is unelectable in the fall. He ignores that McCain actively sought the endorsement of a man who is deranged about Roman Catholics, and that the entirety of the religious right blamed 9/11 on Americans. Nope, Obama hung around with some dude with extreme views, so Obama is unelectable. Fucking Hillary supported the war for years, recently voted for war with Iran, but that's just fine.

At this point, if the race turns out to be between Hillary or McCain, it won't matter to me which wins, they are interchangeable.

11. There are a lot more patriots who will vote to keep God Damn Obama out of office

They will easily negate any extra black vote.Mccain will win by a landslide.
This is after swiftboating of course.

12. Agreed. I don't expect anyone to listen to Wright's words...

they should, but they won't.

I think this will galvanize the support of Obama once this blows over.

14. I think so. By the open minded anyway...

I admit to being..put off...by the "damn america" stuff. But then I was left with this one question...

Why do WE, who mostly complain about this country - the country indeed being run by the rich (white) folks, KEEP VOTING FOR THEM?

The answer to that dilema is right here for us ALL to see, for ALL of us to get behind. It is so obvious, it can only be this...

It IS time for a change - time for someone whose REAL experiences just might be a little different then mine, who might care about things I forgot, or were ignorant of (I am not rich, but I am white), who just might see things I would otherwise miss. That person is Obama.

He is STILL the only real CHOICE, and not, once again, just "the lesser of 2 evils".

I don't CARE what the RW says, or what they MAY drag out. They will NOT dictate MY choice again! I WANT better this time! I WANT something new. I am SICK of what has become of this nation.

Having some hope is refreshing. YES WE CAN!
