Obama flip flopping on Wright for May 6th vote?
Obama waited to see how the Rev Wright thing would affect votes in Pennsylvania. He got his butt handed to him by Clinton with a double digit loss. So is Obama changing his tune on Rev Wright in order to try to save lost votes in the May 6th vote??? What do you think? I think Wright's previous comments were inappropriate, unamerican, racist, and certainly not of religious content, but Obama, stuck with him and even supported to Reverand. However, now he says his latest comments are hate speech?? Has anyone acutally heard these new comments? How do they compare to the previous ones. Why am I not surprised Obama is again flip flopping like he did on Nafta.

I made a prediction today in my blog which reaffirms a prediction I made some time ago that indeed, Barack Obama will be the democratic nominee. I think his absolute denouncement of Rev. Wright which he made today definitely seals his nomination, which may have been a bit questionable even just a week ago, at least from my perspective and despite the high numbers obviously in his favor. McCain is my guy, and he's going to be a strong opponent to beat. If Barack would have entered the race leaving any doubts as to his feelings with regard to Rev. Wright, the highly publicized and controversial racist speech Wright made before his former church, and the cantankerous speech Wright made Monday at the National Press Club, Barack's campaign would have been finished. I think democrats might have looked to Hillary as their candidate if only because the Rev. Wright debacle would have proved distracting and frankly, would leave the democratic issues all but in the dust.
Barack still will not be president by my prediction, but he WILL be the democratic nominee for whatever its worth.

Obama used Rev Wright to fulfill effectual Black human beings and discover ways to be an orator. whilst Obama felt he did no longer want Rev Wright anymore, and Obama grew to become into extra effectual that Rev Wright he had him fired/step down from the church then threw him publicly below the bus. Obama has no loyalty. BO knew those tapes have been bought for years and concealed his head interior the sand vs, hit upon a answer to the subject till now it blew up. Rev wright grew to become into doing his element and no person cared. the reality that Obama did no longer head off a topic on the bypass and passively did no longer something -- at ever turn -- is why it blew up and injury each and every person in touch. Obama would not cope with rigidity ok, that's not a god trait for a president.

Obama is a politician, of course he is going to try to distance himself from Wright. It's not playing well at the polls, so Wright has to be verbally reprimanded for Obama to save face.
However, in the background, Wright will remain Obama's mentor and friend. Wright is receiving golden and FREE opportunities to spread his racist views. He won't give that up so Obama is not going to be able to shake him.

Well the only way Obama can win NC is from black voters.
So I don't think it's going to work.
The only people affected by Obama throwing his "pro-black , not anti-white" Pastor under the bus, are the people who agree with Wright.
So I don't think that's Obama's plan.

I agree with Rev Wright, except for the AIDS issue. Obama is entitled to disagree, but he's still a winner
