Well? I just saw a discussion about this on CNN and frankly I was shocked. I think the man gave one of the best speeches in recent history, tbh. I cant see how this could possibly hurt Obamas run for the presidency.

Are Rev. Wright's speeches hurting Obama's campaign??

Honestly, although I don't support Obama, I really hope this moron isn't hurting his campaign. I want people to concentrate on the issues.
Not that Obama has made this easy considering his blunt refusal to actually say what he will do about said issues.
Re: Are Rev. Wright's speeches hurting Obama's campaign??
He will repeat "hope" until things "change."
Yeah, the nation should be talking about issues. For example, how most of America doesn't want nationalized healthcare, which causes long waits for specialists. My dad had painful burning all over his body once, and went from general practitioner to an allergist in a couple days. The allergen was treated.

Re: Are Rev. Wright's speeches hurting Obama's campaign??
Best thing Wright can do for Obama is to just SHHHHH. His comments today that attacks on his sermons were attacks on the "black church" is going to do nothing but hurt Obama. Though there is no reason he should be hurt by it the way things work he will.

Re: Are Rev. Wright's speeches hurting Obama's campaign??
As has been pointed out to you that the relationship between Obama/Wright and Mccain/Hagee are not even remotely the same thing. Mccain was looking for valdation among the religious right. Hagee isnt his pastor, his minister, Mccain doesnt attend church to be preached to by him. The Obama issue has been blown way out of whack and its wrong and unfair to Obama but given the relationship between to the two its to be expected that some Republicans and Hillary (remember Mccain has spoke out against the whole thing) would use it. So why given that try and bring an even bigger nonsense issue into it that isnt even close to being the same thing?

Exactly. Not that it will keep Hillary or the "Change messiah" from telling us what we want.Yeah, the nation should be talking about issues.

This guy is his mentor. He called him his uncle. Obama has always known where this guy stands and looking at some of his other aquaintences including his wife I believe he thinks the same way. Hillary again is overtaking him. If you were to hold the primaries all over again I bet she would wipe him out fast.

I liked Wright's "Different Not Deficient" speech very much.

Well thats the reality, no? There are differences between us all but that doesnt make any of us worse than the others.

Re: Are Rev. Wright's speeches hurting Obama's campaign??
Don't know which countries that has that long waiting period but Sweden do not have that long.
Naturally if your problem isn't in any way serious or life threatning then you may wait a month or 2 but if you got a serious problem then you get sent right away.
But I can see why americans don't want it.
Your politicians are idiots and thus such a system would never work. And even if they did somehow managed to get things sorta running I wouldn't be surprised if corruption would be high.
Re: Are Rev. Wright's speeches hurting Obama's campaign??
Living in britain, the usual example of nationalized healthcare, I can't say i've ever experienced anything like that.
As to the preacher, he's apparently hurting Obama although supposed inflamatory quotes of his in Time magazine seemed reasonable enough

Re: Are Rev. Wright's speeches hurting Obama's campaign??
So, he waited a couple of days? Sounds exactly like Nationalized care. How much was his deductable?For example, how most of America doesn't want nationalized healthcare, which causes long waits for specialists. My dad had painful burning all over his body once, and went from general practitioner to an allergist in a couple days. The allergen was treated.
On another vote. Who really cares about some random Reverend? It'd be like caring about Ron Paul.

Re: Are Rev. Wright's speeches hurting Obama's campaign??
It's unfortunate that one wacko is ultimately leading to the destruction of Obama's campaign. But if it's people like Reverend Wright that Obama affiliates himself with, maybe he shouldn't become the nominee. If Wright claims to support Obama, one would think that he wouldn't come out with all these controversial speeches.

Definitely hurts his campaign as some generally have great difficulty in distinguishing Obama from the Reverend Wright.

Re: Are Rev. Wright's speeches hurting Obama's campaign??
Rev. Wright is the gift that keeps on giving.
Every time he opens his mouth, white voters (and most of the superdelegates are white) say to themselves, quite secretly, "Do we really want this guy hovering around the President of the United States?"
Also, due almost entirely to this Wright phenomenon, the polls show that Hilllary is 8 points ahead of McCain, and that Obama is only 2 points ahead.
I'm not worried about Hillary. No one can unite and motivate the GOP like her. And 2 points for Obama? History tells us that the DEM nominee needs at least 15 points, after the conventions are over, to win.
Obama wanted to be the "post-racial" candidate. Wright, a genuine bigot, breathes racism, every time he says a word.
Please, Mr. Wright, keep speaking ...
