Actually, we should all be thanking “Rev.” Wright. After all, it was he who finally got the media, and even some of Obama’s disciples to start asking serious questions about their messiah. Obama’s true colors (no pun intended) are now in the sunshine. Morris is very wrong if he thinks this side of Obama will go away.
Next week , Morris will be saying the opposite.
It’s pretty amazing that the guy can make such a lucrative living by just changing his mind all the time.
Obama has serious deficiencies, among them
*involvement with Rev. Wright - no, I did not think his speech yesterday was a home run
*lack of experience
*wimp image - he even feared to appear on Fox's debate
*supporting drivers licenses and other perks for illegal aliens and voting against the Cornyn amendment
What he has going for him are his opponents - Hillary and McCain are no improvement as to amnesty, experience, or ability to fight WOT. In a number of trivial matters they appear worse than he.
*He looks more presidential.
*He speaks better and lies less.
*He appears normal, is not known for hysterical fits, and is more likable. He does not make manic faces like Hillary or acts weird like McCain.
*Being relatively new to politics, he has fewer scandals and is not as controlled by special interests.
*He apparently has lead a normal family life.
*His wife might be angry but still she leaves a more dignified impression that sleazy Bill or Cindy.
Those young boys in the choir are just crackin’ up! :]
1 day, 2 days tops. That’s my prediction.
Fortunately, to the best of my knowledge, Dick Morris has never been right about ANYTHING even once. He’s managed to violate the broken clock rule. So, this may yet drag on a while.
“People who want to forget it will, those that don’t, won’t.”
Exactly.
On the one hand you have Obama who comes across as reasonable, intelligent and calm.
On the other you have Hannity, Savage and others yelling and pounding the table...
In the long run, trying to keep this issue going will backfire.
BS, Dick. Wright's (racist) church is far from the only place in town where Obama could've networked.
And I also don't agree that Obama has the nomination in the bag. ...but I'll concede that Hillary has quite an uphill battle ahead of her.
One thing is certain: If Hillary loses the nomination she'll be pulling for a McCain victory in Nov, because if Obama wins the WH her chances of ever sitting in the Oval Office in her lifetime are done -- Obama would be running as the incumbent Rat in '12, and if he somehow won re-election the chance of a Democrat winning in '16 after 8 years of Obama is nil. By that time she'd be too old.
So her only shot at the WH if she loses this time around is for McCain to win in '08 and her to challenge him in '12.
Yup.
Obama is a Muslims. Muslims hate America so that’s why he believes the same things Wright does.
Obama = Farahkan who is another Muslim.
Takiya is a teaching in Islam that tells Muslims to hide their religion form non-Muslims and to lie to non-Muslims.
I think e-mails with links to Wrights sermons on Youtube will keep this alive.
“The superdelegates will not override the will of the voters unless Obama is in jail.”
Not so fast, Dick.
One of the Clintons’ modus operandi is the use of blackmail. They use it very effectively.
As we speak, I have no doubt they are looking into every corner of these superdelegates lives and will blackmail them into voting for Hillary.
I've talked to a lot of "moderate" democrats, not political junkies by any means, and they all have the same general take on it.
"If that was a white guy up there talking about black people like that I'd be out of there in a minute flat".
This really resonates with them.
I don’t think they will be able to keep it up too much longer. You’re right, out of all the people involved, Obama is the only one that isn’t worked up to a froth over this...just adds more credence to my tagline.
The “true believers” in BHO loved his speach and will follow him anywhere, regardless of what he says or does. The main problem that RacistRev gives Obama is the large number of blue-collar dhims that were uncomfortable with him but couldn’t bring themselves to vote against him in Nov (white guilt, etc). Now that Obama’s closeness with this black separatist is exposed, these blue-collar dhims have a reason to either sit home or vote McCain. The dhims need every single vote that they can get (and resurrect from the dead). This issue will cost Obama the election like none other.
Lil Dick at it again. He misses the point. Obama has the dem nomination sewn, surely that is true. But the issue is whether this will harm Obama in the general election and there is no doubt it will. Obama is no longer a plain vanilla candidate who rises above race. He is now the face of the race industry.
I’ll bet it dont, cause hillary wont let it. This particular one might, but you can bet your last dollar that hillary has more, and will see that they get out if no one else does. Why didnt she quit when she got TROUNCED on super tuesday? She KNEW this was comiong. It aint over and wont be till she gets the nomination.
My gut tells me Morris is dead wrong on this point. To the entrenched Democrat graybeards, O'bama represents the destruction of the Democrat Party - the end of their reign of manipulation over the disparate groups that make up the Party.
They won't allow Obama to do that!
The big flap may slow down. The outcome is forever stuck in the minds of voters.
My husband has a liberal, union worker brother. He says he won’t vote for the old bag or the hateful black guy.
He also says he will not vote for McCain. So, this means he is not going to vote.
What does that tell us?
