In the wake of more recent comments made by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama, who has said that he could “no more disown him” than his white grandmother, has now fully distanced himself from the controversial pastor.
But the question is now the timing of the decision. Should Obama have done that during his speech last month in Philadelphia, when he said he could not disown Wright? Could Obama’s 20-year relationship with Wright be the nail in the coffin as far as his Presidential hopes are concerned? I’d say so, even if he does pull out the nomination.
Jeremiah Wright has done nothing but create a distraction to the American public, and most certainly, Barack Obama, and his supporters. We cannot take Obama’s past relationship lightly. In selecting a president, voters need to select the candidates that represent our values and viewpoints. And Barack Obama has made an awful mistake by associating himself for half of his life with an individual that is not for the good of the American people.
As a result, Obama has already lost more than a few voters, and if he continues his campaign, which he will, then the Illinios Senator will lose more votes, plus key superdelegates, which will ultimately decide in August who runs for President in the Democratic Party.
In the end, Hillary Clinton will pull out the nomination, which may hopefully carry the momentum all the way to the White House.
