They're DISTRACTING Obama so he can't talk about HOPE, CHANGE, and YES WE CAN
Am I the only person who sees this?

:shrug:

His powerful JFK-ish message is what catapulted him into a serious Dem frontrunner.

This Rev Wright crap is turning people off and AWAY from the tube.


Am I wrong? Am I wrong Dude?

1. They WERE distracting him, Obama has put the Wright issue to bed
Much to the dismay of Republicans and Hillary supporters

6. I don't think so...
the Wright issue is not over. You know why - because Wright will not let it be over. He'll be back.

7. It's over because Obama has disowned him and his remarks
And thanks to Wright's recent speeches, no one is blaming him for doing so. Had he thrown him under the bus, when it first happened, he would have appeared to be a scheming ethically challenged politician (like Hillary). Thankful he acted, only when he was left with no other choice.

8. Good point. He gave him the benefit of the doubt
You have to wonder how many regular churchgoers out there haven't cringed at times over something their pastors said, but overlooked it for various reasons.

Wright is throwing himself under the bus.

9. It's a little too late for Obama to disown Wright....
he should have disowned him years ago.

12. Unlike Hillary, Obama has integrity- he doesn't just disown people for political gain
they have to leave him no choice. That's why Obama is much better choice than Hillary.

13. So... Do Catholics who agree with birth control disown the Pope?
I didn't think so.

2. worse than distraction
they are trying to deform what he actually is saying. I would respond to their sh!t question-does Wright "love" America by asking does Pat Robertson 'love' America, does Hagee & repeat what they said, I'd even have a laptop with me with the needed videos showing what other people's pastors have said.

4. LOL Does Pat Robertson still call for the US to assassinate Chavez?
http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/08/23/robertson.chavez/

Bush administration officials Tuesday dismissed Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson's call for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez as the remarks of a private citizen, but Venezuela accused Robertson of promoting terrorism.




What a freak.

Yet he gets a M$M pass.

5. There is a reason more senators have endorsed him.
Edited on Tue Apr-29-08 02:30 PM by Bensthename
Beacuse he has substance, better ideas, better track record, and is running a better campaign.

When MSM stops pasturbating and actually talks about the real issues again, he will be ready and beat McCain. MSM cant keep this going 24 hours a day for antoher 7 months straight.
Obama will beat MSM and McCain.

17. K&R Do not watch the politics of destruction. I don't even watch cable anymore.
They will take all of us off message. Use your vote and your money to support change! This is not the right-wing's country any longer. It is the peoples. If we all stay strong and unified, we can make this country better. Tell the media and the right wing and the right-wing wannabes that you're not even watching them because you're watching our hope and our future in Obama. Tell them... not this time.

GOBAMA!
