Listen for a few minutes to Joey Vento, owner of a south Philadelphia institution that serves gut-busting sandwiches through a takeaway hatch, and the scale of Barack Obama's problems become apparent. Obama is having the worst week of his campaign. It is, some believe, a week that threatens his chances of becoming president.
"That minister, that was terrible, all his sayings. He's preaching hatred," Vento said. "The thing I didn't like about Obama; you're telling me for 20 years you been going to that church and you never heard that?"
Vento, 68, was speaking about Obama's former pastor and spiritual adviser, Jeremiah Wright, whose sermons have been aired repeatedly on US television denouncing the US as racist.
The clips have alienated the white voters, such as Vento, that Obama needs in his next contest with Hillary Clinton, to be held in Philadephia and the other towns and cities of Pennsylvania on April 22. But it goes further than that. The danger for Obama is not just that he could lose badly in Pennsylvania but that senior Democrats will wonder whether the loss of white votes could cost him the November general election.
Phil Singer, spokesman for Clinton, told reporters: "It's no secret that the Obama campaign is in political hot water."
Obama attempted to defuse the escalating row with a speech on Tuesday in Philadelphia in which he spoke in detail about his relationship with Wright and race in the US. It was widely acknowledged as one of his best. He wrote it on Monday night after his wife, Michelle, and their children had gone to bed. Although acclaimed by the media and political activists, his speech has failed to win over voters such as Vento.
Obama has since redoubled his efforts. Usually reluctant to offer himself up for interview,

Obama brought this on himself by denying his true history.
I’m trying to figure out what is depicted on Wright’s robe. It looks like it says the word “AMERICA” and “A.D. 1590”. Maybe that’s a map below.
Wright, Obama, and most who go to these ‘ churches ‘ believe that they are ‘ owed ‘ a life without any effort.
The lazy bums who deal drugs, drop of school...and their enablers ( like white liberals ) believe that success is owed to them .
It was a good speach but not a great one. He used “whitey” to shift the blame from the Hate speach reverend. In so doing he trashed the white grandmother. He’s too hate filled to be president—We would be electing a black David Duke. His cabinate would be selected on skin color and white hate. His VP—Richardson will be shut out because he isn’t black. First thing will be to raise taxes and start give away programs tp “fix the economy” and to “save the children” then when the economy tanks we will be asked to do without and wear sweaters. We can’t afford Mr. Obama.
Because the typical stupid white people just don't understand.
Typical Black Barry?
I think he’s 46, which makes him a baby boomer and probably in the same age range as what some of the baby Dems are calling ‘The Establishment’.
Oh, you bad, bad boy. :-))
Or re-elected, in James "Still clueless after all these years" Earl Carter's case.
Curious that Obama has all of these problems shortly after Harold Ickes rejoins Team Clinton.
we’ll have made progress when black people turn away from that sh(t too.
...actually, they are ‘palestinians’ in the US:

Hamas Terror Manifesto Published By Obama’s Church
WND
“Compares charter calling for murder of Jews to Declaration of Independence”
JERUSALEM
Sen. Barack Obama’s Chicago church reprinted a manifesto by Hamas that defended terrorism as legitimate resistance, refused to recognize the right of Israel to exist and compared the terror group’s official charter – which calls for the murder of Jews – to America’s Declaration of Independence.
I wonder if his wife beats him when he goes home.

shhhhh! thats why we want him as the Dem candidate before we expose him.
doing it now helps Hillary, who would be a much tougher candidate.
so shhhh! let him win, then we will light him up like a firecracker.
Wondering: are white American males still the biggest voting block, or have white American females surpassed them in sheer numbers of who turns out to vote? I’m thinking they might have. . .
We'll listen and laugh.
Then we'll cry because we don't want the Clintons getting a boost up to inhabit our White House, ever again.
McCain's our last choice.
