Father Michael Pfleger and Reverend Jeremiah Wright are obviously despicable, racist America-haters but they seem to be doing Obama a lot more harm than good. He spends a lot of time distancing himself from these folks he has been close to for two decades and I doubt many Americans are buying his explanations and after-the-fact rejections of their rhetoric.

The liberal mantra that Obama isn't 'responsible' for what other people say is a half-truth and fools no one. Of course one cannot hold anyone culpable for what another person says, no matter how inflammatory. However, the fact that the people saying the divisive, inflammatory things that repel most sane people in America, are also longtime friends of Obama...and that is undeniable.

To expect the American voter to believe that Barack Obama was close to racist America-haters for years and knew nothing about their radical political/social views, as evidenced in the pulpit on Sunday by Wright, especially, is absurd on its face and downright insulting to the intelligence of the American people...who are a lot smarter that Obama and Democrats want to believe. They'll find out in November..

Obama can make all the excuses he likes but the undeniable fact is that Obama along with his wife attended Wright's church for TWENTY YEARS and to add insult to injury; they exposed their children to this anti-American racist in the process!

So Obama may win the Primary but he will lose the General election. I don't see ANY levelheaded American going into the voting booth on 11/4 and voting for an anti-American racist! Now bear in mind, I said “levelheaded” American which automatically eliminates Lefties & anyone who depends on government welfare.
