Default Nobama's Charade

The Rev Wright and Obama have staged this whole latest incident. It is completely phony!

Obama tried to do the, "Its the media." thing. He "stood up for his friend and mentor". He said he "did not agree with the inflammatory comments" but would not denounce his friend as he would not denounce his "typical" white, racist grandmother.

His internal polling and focus groups showed that Obama's initial defense of Wright was not playing well, so Wright went into hiding. But then the videos kept showing up and the issue did not seem to be dying. Obama and his staff concluded that something had to be done! But what?

How could Obama denounce Wright after he had defended Wright? A dilemma! The only possible exit was to have another incident in the public eye and then have Obama distance himself and rebuke Wright. Since Wright and Obama are close personal friends, Obama went to Wright and asked him to appear in public with three things in mind:

Repeat his allegations of an evil America

Attack the media

Attack Obama

Wright complied by coming out of hiding and going on a most visible tour to "defend" himself. He didn't retract anything. He attacked the media (which would then denigrate Wright), and then he capped it off by "threatening" Obama but also noting that Obama was a "politician" and hinted that Obama might really agree with him (code words to tell the black community this was all a put up job).



Obama then has a new opportunity to "reject" Wright and try to put the issue to bed. Now that Obama has "forcefully" denounced Wright, the pastor will go back into hiding. And the media, confident that Wright has been sufficiently vilified, and that Obama has firmly rejected him, will lose interest in the story. And Obama will refuse to discuss it further saying, "I rejected him. I can't control him. I don't agree with him. What more can I say?"



This was all a deal cooked up between Obama and Wright working in collusion to dispose of the political issue. Its phony. It’s not real. They are as close as ever. And Obama does share Rev. Wright's views, despite his latest "denunciation". Look at Obama's books and what he says in there if you need further evidence!



Obama knew he had to get rid of this issue well before the general election. He had to dispose of it before the "superdelegates" made their decision because Hillary was making inroads on her campaign to convince them Obama was unelectable because of Rev. Wright. So Obama had to put it to bed NOW. And he now has done that! There will be fallout for a week or so; and it may influence IN and NC, but Obama has a lock on the "committed delegates" chosen in the primary. He only has to worry about the superdelegates and the general election. He has now inoculated himself against the attacks regarding Rev. Wright that should "clean him up" for the convention and then the general election.



How can you guys be sucked into this charade? Can't you see that Obama has thought this out three moves ahead? He is tacking a temporary hit to cauterize the wound, rather than dying from a continuous slow bleed over the next six months. He was smart to do this, but the shortsighted people are buying in to the cover story that Wright flipped out so Obama denounced him! This is so transparent it is laughable!

You know, you may be right. I would not put it past him. I hate to think that though.....I was noticing that Axelrod and Obama did not seem that concerned when Wright was doing that at first-I remember wondering about that at the time, and then after Monday, all of a sudden he was mad.

I think if it would have been real, Wright would be out more now and "coming after him". Dirty, dirty politics.

Time will tell I guess.

And isn't it funny that after all this controversy...some superdelegates are now going over to nobama? And with Hillary gaining ground with the voters. Something smells awfully fishy to me!

The Supers that are moving are the ones more grounded to what the DNC wants. Cause if they were paying attention to voters and momentum they would be going Clinton.. Instead they want this to end, give it to the black guy and we'll take our chances attidude.

I hope it backfires and the DNC learns their lesson, about not listening to there swing voter, call us the silent middle.

Nobama, how clever! Like Obama with a no on the front! What wit it must take to come up with something so clever!
