Obama’s polls are tanking. If this latest Wright appearance was to help Obama it was a disaster.
If the Obama campaign set up a PR firm for Wright when the sound bytes blew up, I bet their advice was for him to go on a lot of cruises.
His numbers started going down when it was clear the Wright story wasn’t going away and was making SD nervous. He needed a reason to come out and denounce the guy because his first speech didn’t do the job. He couldn’t just come out of the blue and suddenly denounce him when the man hadn’t publicly said anything else. He had absolutely no other choice.
