Barack Obama Watch: Chickens Coming Home to Roost

Glenn McCoy on Reverend Jeremiah Wright

Enlightened idea of the day: Wright’s Voice Could Spell Doom for Obama

Should it become necessary in the months from now to identify the moment that doomed Obama’s presidential aspirations, attention is likely to focus on the hour between nine and ten this morning at the National Press Club. It was then that Wright, Obama’s longtime pastor, reignited a controversy about race from which Obama had only recently recovered – and added lighter fuel.

Speaking before an audience that included Marion Barry, Cornel West, Malik Zulu Shabazz of the New Black Panther Party and Nation of Islam official Jamil Muhammad, Wright praised Louis Farrakhan, defended the view that Zionism is racism, accused the United States of terrorism, repeated his view that the government created the AIDS virus to cause the genocide of racial minorities, stood by other past remarks (“God damn America”) and held himself out as a spokesman for the black church in America.

Every minute that Barack Obama does NOT “THROW JEREMIAH WRIGHT UNDER THE BUS” harms his Presidential campaign and the Democrat Party’s chances of regaining the White House.

The stage has been set for a “Sister Soulja Moment” and Obama must cease upon it. Flap says if he continues to do nothing past tomorrow – put a fork in him – HE”S DONE.”
