So finally some shit has stuck to Obama. His lame excuses over the last two days over bigoted and racially insensitive comments by his pastor Jeremiah Wright may be enough to sink his chances to win the Democratic nomination at the convention in August. Today, Barak Obama tried to diffuse the situation but all he ended up doing was acknowledging that he had lied two days ago when he said he never heard Wright utter these types of rants in church.
For 20 years Obama sat in Wright’s church in Chicago. When the story of Wright’s bigotry broke, Obama denied hearing any of these kinds of words from Wright that are in constant rotation on Youtube and the news. Now, today, in a speech in Philadelphia he says he did hear some blatant racist and inflammatory comments from Wright but took his bad with his good. Sorry Obama, having your pastor, the man who married you and baptised your children say that America should be damned by god, is completely inexcusable and shows again that your judgement is poor. There is NO WAY white America is going to get past this.
Whatever chance Obama had being the Democratic nominee and beating John McCain in November are now gone. Obama may well still get the nomination but he can not beat McCain with clips of who he now calls “his former pastor” spitting out anti-white and anti-America rhetoric flashing on tv screens across America. Or as Wright called the country, the US of KKKA.
It is interesting that when Obama wasn’t running for president Wright’s comments were okay, but now that he is running, Wright is no longer his pastor. A convenient political decision of the kind that he criticizes Hillary Clinton for.
Now the Democratic Party must move and move fast to ensure that Obama is not the nominee. The GOP will play the race card no matter what, and now Obama himself has provided them with the anti-white, anti-America rants from Wright, his pastor, that they can use to scare white people from voting for him. Call it what you want but that is politics. The smart thing for Obama to do now is to leave the race and help to unite Democrats behind Hillary Clinton.
Obama and his worship of imaginary sky fairies has always concerned me. Now we discover that he is hanging with nutcase black ministers who are just darker versions of the white evangelical snake oil salesmen who infest the airwaves asking for money.
