Barack Obama’s repudiation of Jeremiah Wright didn’t go over well with many of the Kos Kids.

To say the least. Daily Kos: “Uncle Tom” Obama.

Daily Kos: “Uncle Tom” Obama

I have been a huge supporter of Barack. He is the guy I’ve been behind for quite awhile now. Check my older diaries if you wonder about that. And while I’ve been steeling myself for a Barack loss in November, because I think the Repug machine is too good for him to beat, I had resigned myself to still working hard for him and for the Progressive cause!

But today something changed for me...

Today, the scales fell from my eyes and I saw Barack Obama for what he truly is: a weak man and a standard politician. I really never thought I would say this...

But I am disgusted with him! Subscribe to *Obama Reality Check*

So the Krud at Kos have an issue w/Obama tossing that animated, racist swine under the bus? Maybe they should take a lesson from the Os here and simply adjust positions on the fly? Yesterday morning they were defending that dispenser of Black Racist Theology, and by mid afternoon, they, with Obama, were dancing on his bones. All this becomes easy when you dump your core values.

Not correct JT. We saw the political expediency of Obama distancing himself still further from the outspoken Reverend Wright. We still defended Wright; most recently in his speech to the NCAAP on different learning styles.

When Dr. Ron Paul did not publicly stand behind 9/11 many were disappointed, but understood why he did not. This is similar in terms of playing politics.

I'm sure Rev. Wright is fully aware and also understands. In fact, yesterday gave Obama another opportunity to widen the gap between them. Although I imagine the media intended more coverage of Rev. Wright to further harm Obama, I believe his response negated any real impact.

Come on Robin the Rev Wright thing will be Obamas undoing it is clear to anyone paying attention that he did know of Wrights many comments and Black Leberation bent that would cause him problems if it ever came to light....from a article today over at CBS

Some of Wright’s remarks that sparked this mess were made over five years ago, specifically his oft-played comment that the nation’s “chickens” were “coming home to roost,” which he made shortly after 9/11. Obama has indicated Wright was instrumental in attracting him to the church he joined and has said he titled his book, “The Audacity of Hope,” after one of Wright’s sermons. That 20-year relationship will not be easily broken as a result of one afternoon press conference.

“What I think particularly angered me,” Obama said of Wright on Monday, “was his suggestion somehow that my previous denunciation of his remarks were somehow political posturing."

In a New York Times profile of the Obama-Wright relationship in April 2007, Wright himself predicted such a split based on the controversial remarks that were already under some scrutiny. “If Barack gets past the primary, he might have to publicly distance himself from me,” Wright told the paper over a year ago. “I said it to Barack personally, and he said yeah, that might have to happen.”

Whether Obama’s strong words of denunciation today were sincere or “political posturing” will be decided by the remaining Democratic primary voters, the party’s superdelegates...AKA the Jewish Lobby...I added that!

Good grief! Dr. Ron Paul said almost the same thing in his "blowback" comment! And he was ridiculed for it.

Rev. Wright is not the problem. The media's constant refrains repeating some sound bites over and over are the problem and totally unfair. Red Jones posted an article about "The Fellowship" that Hillary belongs to. They sound really creepy but the media says not a word. McCain has the backing of Hagee, but the media is not making noise about Hagee (and he's nuts!).

Yes, Rev. Wright is aware and understands no doubt, exactly why Obama has been forced to make more statements against him.

And as I mentioned, Dr. Ron Paul never disagreed with the findings of the 9/11 commission, although almost everyone who supports him are 9/11 Truthers. That was pure politics, IMO.

Robin you are mixing apples and oranges its got nothing to do with statements made by Wright rather it is his Black Nationalist beliefs that the oppressed must rise up and kill the oppressors his church preachers the here and now as opposed the here after...which up and until now Obama knew and supported to try and run from that shows a lack of integrity and honesty two body blows he won't recover from
