The chickens…..have come home…..to roost:
In the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination, the Wright impact is especially evident. Clinton now has a statistically insignificant two-point edge over Obama, 46% to 44%. However, that represents a ten-point swing since Wright’s press conference. Before Pastor Wright appeared at the National Press Club, Obama led Clinton by eight points…
~~~Fifty-four percent (54%) of New Hampshire voters say it’s at least Somewhat Likely that Obama shares some of Pastor Wright’s controversial views about the United States. That figure includes 73% of Republicans, 55% of unaffiliated voters, and 36% of Democrats.
Most voters (56%) say Obama denounced Wright because it was politically convenient. Only 33% believe he was truly outraged.
Thats not all of it:
In general election polling John McCain now attracts 46% of the vote while Barack Obama earns 43%. Just before Wright had his press conference on Monday, McCain and Obama were even. A week ago, Obama had a two-point edge. McCain is now tied with Hillary Clinton at 44%. A week ago, McCain had a two-point edge over the former First Lady.
Meanwhile another superdelegate has come out of the shadows and come out in favor of Obama:
“I’m calling on my all of my friends who are superdelegates to help heal the rift and unite behind Barack Obama, now,” says former Clinton supporter and former DNC chair Joe Andrew…
ANDREW SAID that he doesn’t buy the DNC’s position, which is that “this long process we’re involved in is reinvigorating.” But “you also see more and more polls that people are hardening their position and few of them are willing to back the other candidate.”
Joe….give it up. Hillary is not going anywhere until the convention. No way, no how. But he is right in one respect. As time goes on the supporters of their respective candidate become hardened against going for the other person if their guy doesn’t win.
Which is good news for the Republicans.
I love it!
UPDATE
Yeah Big O’….we’re all tired of hearing about your mentor now that he has damaged your run for the presidency:
WASHINGTON – Democrat Barack Obama and his wife said Thursday the public is tired of hearing about incendiary remarks by their former pastor, as they sought to put the controversy that has rocked his presidential campaign to rest.
“We hear time and time again voters are tired of this,” Michelle Obama said in an interview the couple gave to NBC’s “Today” show.
Its called narcissism. Obama is tired of hearing about his pastor so therefore everyone is also tired also.

it just goes to show you that they are worried, wright will not shut up. he is a liability to obamas campaign and he just keeping running his mouth, gotta love it.
call me a redneck, but i really am very tired of hearing that white people are racist. if we (white people) ran around running our mouths about white religion/churchs we would be strung up. so why is it okay for wright and obama to have their “black church” and their religious movement. they have black history month, it we tried that we would be tarred and feathered. this is a reverse form of racism and i am so tired of it. they have divided themselves from us and they like it that way so they should just shut the hell up, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
the more that wright talks about his crap, the more obama will try and seperate himself from him. the more obama does this it makes him look like he is a backstabber and a phoney. we all know he will say anything to get elected, so i hope rev. wright isn’t hurt. he had to know this was coming, i just hope his lips keep a flappin’.
You know, they are wright. I’m tired of it too (for now). I think the media should talk about Tony Rezko for a few days until the Rev is out of the spotlight for a while and feels the need to stage a comeback. hehe
“the public is tired of hearing about incendiary remarks by their former pastor”
They are so full of themselves that they don’t realize that people are tired of those remarks FROM their pastor.
Twenty years too late, knuckleheads.
I left my last church because they started preaching that we need to reach out to the black community. I was onboard with that, until the message the following week became we need to suck up and apologize and grovel for being white. (It was bad, really really really…. bad and out of left field too) No white guilt here, I left. After three years in the same church, they went all squishy and goofy literally overnight. The pastor had become friends with another pastor that was black and it must have made him feel guilty for lacking melanin.
I worship at the feet of Jesus, not grovel at the feet of man.
Has Wright done anymore appearances since the weekend? Or did he dash out, do a hit and run, and is again sequestered?
I haven’t seen him on anything, so perhaps you all can fill me in. Been a tad busy…
MataH: I haven’t seen anymore of Wright since his four day spree. For a while there he started reminding me of Monica Lewinsky’s attorney William Ginzburg who would race from one talking head news program to the next.
I did hear some news that Wright has a book coming out in October. Just in time to drag all this up once again.
But the success of Wright’s book may depend on Obama being the nominee. So perhaps he’s going to go underground for a while.
The damage has been done.
That’s what I thought, Mike’sA. A hit and run, then hide to let the dust settle. But I’d say the “damage has been done” for 20 years. The trick is to undo that 20 years of damage so Obama can continue, eh?
Good thing Hil didn’t drop out as so many wanted her to do, eh? They would have found themselves left with nothing but BHO.
I guess Obama should have kept his crazy uncle locked up somewhere.
Boy did he blow it.
We all would have found this out through YouTube anyway however.
hehe.. sorry. Just got back from behind enemy lines (next stop the shower. I feel so dirty). Some are waking from their kool-aid slumber. I provide a few gems for your amusement.

PLEASE tell us how this works.
The powers that be can just ” Elect” a group of people who will just vote for “their” candidate thus totally negateing ANY type of vote. How is this legal???
******
Everything about this is just sad. Apparantly the party has rigged up a fix so that they can overturn our vote if we don’t vote for their buddy who they want to get elected.
This is just so sad. Unbelievable. And here I thought we lived in a democracy
******
And My personal favorite….
Only the DNC could come up with such a convoluted cluster f–k!

Glenn Beck had a great clip on the other night explaining “Super” delegates. The audio is here:

Wow, Michelle Obama is engaging in some great psychological projection here.
“We hear time and time again voters are tired of this,” in reality means “BHO and I are tired of having to hear about this.” Most Americans like to have a deep understanding of their Presidential candidates; their characters, judgment, etc.
Calling the Jeremiah Wright matter a “distraction” by BHO and company is another form of projection. Sure, for the BHO campaign it “distracts” away from their neatly packaged propaganda line of “hope” and “change” and playing himself off as the great bi-partisan unifier (walks on water, etc., etc.).
Given that the MSM tends to endlessly churn over Republican foibles for months on end, so far BHO has had it pretty darn light in my book.
Who has the bigger problem?:
Well, Doug, I’d have to say “our entire country” is the million dollar answer.
Let’s examine the insanity here. Eleven percent of responders are more hot and bothered about a candidate’s working relationship with our sitting POTUS than they are by a candidate’s long term personal association with convicted US terrorists and conspiracy theory pastors.
uh huh. yup This country is definitely a victim of the dumbing down of America by the liberal dominated public revisionist education system, and the nanny university professors.
The bright side is, they only asked 1000 of these jerks who made the error of answering the phone that night. So perhaps there’s a few more bright light bulbs in the remaining 299,990,000 other US citizens. One can only hope.
When Newsweek’s commentator that is a regular on Keith Olbermann, the thin English sounding reporter with boxy glasses like Olbermann, you may know who I mean. He unloaded on a political analytical review of Obama’s Reverend Wright. He characterized Reverend Wright or his pulpit auditory as a “Freak Show”. Wow. Here, it forged a very serious questionable huge race related problem America has been having and is brought forward by Obama vary unwilling. Sean Hannity is beginning to believe and talk about the loaded inconsistencies in Obama’s book ‘Audacity of Hope” with a lot of input from Reverend Wright all that pulled in millions of dollars in royalties.
Something else, but little talked about was something MSNBC telecast several days ago which blast open a barrier in racist examination no could have ever predicated, but shows in monumental order the race bating cable news has been doing. Brain Williams in a round robin discussion on MSNBC hosted a telecast to be sure will never be aired again. This is true; one of the Black political analysts came forward with a real shot across Integration front, for a primer racist statement. Here, she said Black/ White baby parenting produced prettier babies than Black/ Black baby parenting. Yikes. Well America Integration really has some questions now and MSNBC is avoiding all responsibility about this one, likely some how will blame it on the Clintons. LOL
Lately O’Reilly unloaded on MSNBC as a side addition exclaiming that the parent Company, GE, is doing business with Iran and the CEO knows it. Specifically mentioning the relationship to the weapons and IED’s used against our troops is perhaps supplied or supported by GE? Sheezam, Wide open treason is implied here. This is a most incredible statement, if true has similar damage as Obama has by all of sudden coming forward to realize his friend Reverend Wright is not the same person he knew twenty years ago. Please that’s like saying Bush is not the same man McCain knew after a few days ago from Bush’s endorsement from McCain.
For me, this notion of meeting secretly, with his Reverend Wright to censor him then, in the basement before Obama initialized his Senatorial election shows enough hidden energy that Obama, will and, is doing a whole lot that not just as any politician does, but that is ruining the reputation of people of color, especially those of light skin, sneaking and lying about a truth that he himself knew and felt along time ago. It’s incredible that many don’t see this monument flaw in character that failed Martin Luther King’s basic test. No, Obama fail’s Judeo-Christian believes that are ideals made long before MLK. So, here do we have political supporters for Obama very willing to meet in the basement to conjure and scheme political policy for America.
From my view absolutely disgusting, Obama’s openly displays secret corruption and censure for favorite personal reasons rather then basic to Constitutional values of separation of Church and State. Here, now, as suggested by Sean Hannity Obama is part of a Black Radical movement and trying to separate from it while being caught in it. What was funny was on CNBC money station host Kudlow exclaims that Obama is nothing more than Black Power Lite. Yikes. Will he say that again?
From my view, all this stuff converging while Obama sits around in mild and calm conversations very separate from the wild ranting that Obama has the potential to do. For me Obama has that Appearance and smile like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, sitting or standing with the argument that there was no Jewish holocaust, similarly making that statement with a sublime smile he has nothing to with Reverend Wright after twenty years of close friendly relations. One remembers Obama saying he could not separate himself from this man Reverend Wright as his own Grand mother. I wonder if his Grand mother will get tossed under the bus.
