He already stepped down. Oops! So much righteous anger wasted.

And what makes you possibly think that the Republicans will be able to use this against him again, after he's already responded and Wright is gone and the matter is settled? Would you get offended if the Republican party brought up Ferarro's comments to Clinton a month down the road - or would you say she's been vetted?

Keep begging Obama to walk away from the lead. Your rational makes no sense and your anger is disingenuous - you've been spouting for him to step down for the good of America for months on Hillaryis44.org, that bastion of sanity.

This is what happens when you campaign has been one of deception .

I don't know how he managed to hoodwink the public this long.

Maybe he should be asked why he comes down south to use code words like bambozzle , hoodwink , run amok in light of this stuff.

Of Course I know what is intentions but I think someone should ask him.

He has used race in the most divisive way in this campaign and he should be called on it.

His own chickens have come home to roost.
.

I don't know if this would end his campaign , but i wonder how many people would have it at the back of their minds if that is the type of guy they want for president.  

Somehow I suspect this will continue to be a story on mydd long after the rightwing blogs have moved on.

I never thought it would be Wright that would do in Obama. It doesn't matter that he fired him when he the press found out about him. Obama knowingly kept the guy on his staff and had a long term relationship with the guy just like Rezko. What is it about Obama that he continually makes bad choices?

I'm wondering if Obama is in the audience during one of those sermons? I bet someone is looking at all the videos right now or perhaps has already done so.

And you're right. He needs to quit the primary. He and his associations are starting to go beyond toxic to him and are now becoming toxic to the party.

Universal, why do you persist in this?

You know this issue isn't going to convince anyone who isn't already convinced that Obama is a Bad man.

Clinton's, and yours by extension, entire strategy at this point is to trash Obama as much as possible.  There's nothing new to add about Hillary; just mud to be slung.

You ought to be disgusted with yourself.  But I suspect that you're not.

Hillary's got her own problems.

By next week this story will be ancient history and there will be some other scandal for the media to focus on.  

Obama's not saying these things, someone else is and that it was the video will show.

Also, just like some people saw truth in Ferraro's statement, some people will see the truth in Wright's.

If he handles himself well in this controversy it may actually improve his standings.    

The video will resurface in some smear ads in October but, it won't have much of an impact.  This happened to late to impact the nominating process and too early to impact the general election.  

I really do wonder about the timing. As best as I can tell, none of the statements were made last week.  Why has this become an issue now?   Did it have anything to do with Ferraro.  Is the media attempting to appear balanced for its coverage of Ferraro's statements?
 

I just realized the irony here.

Universal is asking that Obama step down out of the race - before the primary has finished.

What about all the voters that deserve to have their votes count? That's why Hillary's still in the race!

You've been so, so emphatic that Clinton stay in the race, that people that tell her to drop out are sexist, that the media is against her when they discuss how far behind she is, that she can't possibly retake the lead - but yet Obama is supposed to drop out at the drop of a hat?

You honestly have such a blatant double standard that when Clinton is attacked on her positions, that its vetting her for a Republican run, and yet when Obama is attacked - via you and a lot of Clinton supporters, collecting data, cheering on the latest Rezko whatever - each time he should drop out of the race for the good of the Party?

Good god. Get back to Hillaryis44. That's your real political party.

This story is already fading

Go right now to CNN.com, Reuters.com, Bloomberg.com.

CNN and Reuters are running stories about how Obama is denouncing Wright - that's the second stage of the story, the next stage is oblivion.  Bloomberg is not even covering the story - and it supposedly broke today!  

Check your local newspaper tomorrow - you may see a story.  Check it a week from now, see if there's any mention.

Yes, this story will give Republicans ammunition for attack ads and that's unfortunate, but I don't think it will have a significant impact on the Democratic nomination process or the general election.

I've not given it a great deal of thought but, I can't think of a story like this, one that involved the conduct of someone other than the candidate, having the dramatic impact that you are are predicting.  Can you think of one?  If you think of past candidate destroying events (Gary "Monkey Business" Hart, Howard "the Scream" Dean) the conduct involved actions by the candidate.  

Please remove the link oto vdare, I would honestly be more confortable with a lik to freerepublic than VDARE, they are legitimately a hate site, and I believe are listed as such by the SPLC.

There is no way Obama will step down. Here is a man who went for power politics from the beginning. He did choose to connect himself to some of the worst thugs in American politics for the sake of power. He is embroiled in the Chicago machine and is connected to a variety of shady dealings, mostly orchestrated by Mayor Daley and Tony Rezko. Obama is not stepping down.

He is not wont to ever see beyond his personal ambitions of power and connections. Obama will have to be defeated the old fashioned way.

He is young and obviously power hungry. Perhaps he can come back in 2016, perhaps not.
