Obama, Wright Relationship Has No Effect at Grassroots?

There is no fallout yet from Democratic Presidential Candidate, Barack Obama's, relationship with his inflammatory Reverend Wright according to Dante Chinni of the Christian Science Monitor.

He claims that the nation at the grassroots level is too concerned with the fifth year anniversary of the Iraq War, flooding and what color to paint the kitchen to pay attention to the crumbling Democratic Presidential Candidate's campaign.

Obama tried to come out with a speech shortly after his "race" speech where he lumped his grandmother and Geraldine Ferraro with the hateful racist bigot Wright.

As much as the left claims that the Obama/Wright story has no legs, the American people disagree sharply. One look at the Obama numbers compared to McCain in mid March on RealClearPolitics.com tells the true story. Obama has lost the general election and this is why. Imagine a 527 add with a picture of Obama in a pew and Wright singing, "God Damn America." This story has legs and longevity. The Clintons know it, but the Democratic Party is so whipped up into a frenzy with the left wing media that they can't see it.

Obama was always going to get the black vote unless McCain comes up with a running mate like I suggested, JC Watts. What gave Obama legs was the white apologist and the independent vote. The Obama/Wright relationship has the white apologist thinking twice. As much as they would like to see a black man in the White House, they don't want to hear the hatred from a black man just as much as they don't want to hear it from a white man.

Obama lost the independent vote because independents thought Obama was a "different" candidate that rose above normal politics. To the trained ear, Obama's speech on race was just a political move that was a day late and a dollar short. Twenty years in a pew in front of Wright and claiming you knew nothing of his hatred for America, Jews and white people in general seems too disingenuous to believe. Obama's speech was a calculated chess move in a line of calculated chess moves and "present" votes for a power hungry opportunist who is no different than any other American politician. You can't explain this indiscretion away. America didn't want to even hear David Duke's Klan explanation and rightfully so. Any association with the Klan is too much just like any association with Wright is too much.

If Obama loses in the general election, the left again ask why. Just like after the Kerry election they will ask, how can the American people be so stupid as to not vote for our guy. And when looking back they will say that it certainly wasn't the Wright issue that lost the election when it most certainly was.
