C'mon, cheer up, fellow Obamites!

1. 25% of our base may not vote for Obama due to Wright and other issues

4. I doubt it.
If four years ago, you had told me the Democrats would destroy their own merely because of something his Pastor said, I would have called you a Republican troll.

No true Democrat believes Obama is running for President because he hates America. Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to get you to vote Hillary.

5. Apparently he's an ex-con who got his own Public Access show for about 5 minutes.
I got it from this, probably the funniest article Cracked.com has ever written. All but the first YouTube link works.

My favorite is the poor "Let's Paint" guy.

BTW, we don't see eye-to-eye on much--but many Hillary people I've seen have admitted that they're really not that offended by Jeremiah Wright, or his connection to Obama. What about you?

11. Probably, but his Jewish neighbors support him
Obama's house (you know, "that" one) happens to be right across the street (and it's a small, side street) from Chicago's oldest synagogue, founded in 1847, the Reform KAM Isaiah Israel. It's a large congregation too. The Secret Service uses the bathroom there.

The Rabbi's wife had this to say, in The Forward:

According to Grace Wolf, a Hyde Park resident who is married to the rabbi emeritus of KAM, Obama is backed by a solid swath of the congregation’s members.

“We had been to his fundraisers and met him” when he was an Illinois state senator, said Wolf, who supported Obama in the Illinois primary. “When I would see him at our local supermarket, I would go up to him and say, ‘Hi Senator Obama, I’m Grace Wolf,’ and he would say, ‘How’s the rabbi?’”


http://www.forward.com/articles/12605/

But, you know, I agree that many in the Jewish community (including some in my family) have a great distrust of black people, and they weren't going to vote for him before they heard his pastor.
