An Obama Supporter deeply hurt…

I apologize for being a little behind the curve on Senator Obama’s preacher, but I must say that from what I have seen, Brian (linked below) is absolutely right. This is extremely damaging to Obama’s white support (which was finally starting to grow). Clinton’s campaign has been waiting for the opportunity to cast Obama as the angry black man and have finally found the avenue to do it, through the preacher of his church.

This is the story that will turn the tide to Clinton. He will get stomped in Pennsylvania and likely even Indiana…possibly even North Carolina…and maybe he should. As a white supporter of Senator Obama since before Iowa…I’m hurt by what I have seen and heard from his preacher, the one who married he and his wife, the one who baptized his children.

UPDATE: Julie at Left in Alabama has the opposing view point, which I don’t find nearly as compelling as Brian (who I normally disagree with). The question she doesn’t answer is why, if Obama is the man we believe him to be, he would decide to continue to be a part of this church. There is no indication this was an isolated sermon, it was more than that.

    It is about time the public gets to listen and see who they have been star struck by. we do not need someone that gives good speaches. The country is in the worse shape in a long time. We do not have time for on the job training… on the preacher.. right like he never heard it.. listen to his wife.” this is the first time i have been proud of the USA” because of the following her husband was getting… he needs to step down so we all can move on. Clinton did not have to find this he created it and still belongs.. and calls him his fomer paster, last week he was like and uncle. , What do you think would come up during the run against McCain… this is child play. they would stomp him.

    If Obama loses the democratic primary be prepared for at least four more years of a republican president.Hillary and Slick Willie have fell from grace with their racist attacks,lies,and cover-ups.
    It’s already been ststed that hillary’s supporters are the less educated ,low income voters.After reading some of these posts I tend to agree.

    i agree………Obama does not lack experience, and the comments his wife made sound like something out of his foul mouthed preacher. He went to this church for 20 years and he is going to say this is a surprise that his preacher talks like this? This didn’t start two weeks ago..This has been going on for years, maybe Obama was asleep in church.
