Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) sharp denunciation of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright this week has superdelegates moving in his direction.

Meanwhile most Americans saw through the political stunt.

If they weren’t gullible, they wouldn’t be Democrats.

I’ll say this for Obama’s team, they’re better than Hillary at planting “trending my way stories” in the media.

I’m glad to hear that Joe Andrew is a Big Jewel. I confess I never heard of him before.

“I am pleased that Sen. Obama clearly and unequivocally denounced Rev. Wright’s remarks,” Hill said - that it took 20 years and three public comedy acts is irrelevant.

Mrs. Obama said that America is tired of the Rev. Wright story. I guess that explains it.

But Andrew said Obama’s “principled stand” on Wright was “shocking.”

And by “principled stand,” we mean, “tardy and sullen response made unavoidable due to plummeting poll numbers.”

20 year relationships with racists, hate-mongers and terrorists and the messiah Hussein is still gaining.

My advice, convert your assests to gold by November.

“Mrs. Obama said that America is tired of the Rev. Wright story.”

Like Obama, I won’t be tired of Rev. Wright for another 21 years and 11 months

This Super Delegates must be super naive — to have made a decision based on the too late, too little, too unbelievable “statement” by Obama.

this had nothing to do with how great Obama dealt with the Rev. Wright issue it had to do with those delegates being scared to death Hillary is making a big comeback

Well, Obama’s team at least deserves credit from avoiding a flight of their own Super Delegates.

You would think the Wright Debacle would cause an stampede in the direction of Hillary. Instead, ALL the defections that I have heard about have ALL been from Hillary to Obama.

Right now, there is a golden opportunity for all the me-first Opportunists in Obama’s camp to DEFECT and earn the FAME they could have never imagined otherwise. All a Congressman or a Senator who wants notoriety is to announce their SWITCH because of Jeremiah Wright. They would be invited to EVERY News program on TV and Klintons would make sure their next few generations are taken care-off.

Still, Out of 249 so far, NOT ONE has buckled under the pressure, despite Elitist-Gate and Wright-Gate. Instead, he has cut down Klinton’s SD Lead to 17, and has gotten NOTEABLE Defections and Party Leaders that either served under Klinton-I or were appointed to high offices by him.

That campaign shows lot of fortitude and should be commended for it.

Ironically, though it’s gaining him superdelegates, it’s losing him the votes of many ordinary Democrats.

I’ve been in the shower the past couple of days (actually I was on vacation away from all computers and the local paper scarcely had any politics in its’ “news”).

Can someone bring me up to speed here?

Has Wright said something worse in the past couple of days than he’s already on record saying?

Last I knew he was getting a Monica on PBS from Bill Moyers.

And Obama already gave his “I have a bridge to sell you...” speech. It was a month ago. He was championed as a new JFK for being such a good speaking type person, who uh, speaks articulately about stuff.

So why is he NOW going on record denouncing Wright?

He said that he could no more disown him than he could his racist grandmother.

The Polls have gotten worse for him for sure. He is hurting in Deep Red States like Tennesse and obviously in Indiana and North Carolina as well.

Some of Obama’s superdelegates are NO LONGER the same people.

Some of the superdelegates have been ordered to step down for their own personal scandals.

So while the number of superdelegates may be the same, they may not be the same people.

It is a scam. How to steal an election. 2008 style.
