The Right's Peculiar Obsession With Jeremiah Wright

"But really that's what the really obsessive Obama-haters seem to think: 'The American people aren't smart enough to see Obama for what he is.' "

Not at all. But it's clear that in the last election, a slim majority of voters weren't smart enough. After four disastrous years of obama's Marxist policies, there are fewer who are still in the dark this time around, but you can add to those deluded idiots the vast number of parasites who are well aware of his pandering, but who are happy to continue living off the rest of us.

Given that those (the stupid and the lazy) are large and dependably Democrat constituencies, as are other Democrat-voting blocks like illegal immigrants, felons, dead people, cartoon characters, etc. (you know, all those targeted by SEIU voter registration drives) it could still turn out to be a close election.

Romney will have to get about 55% of the actual legal vote to overcome the usual Democrat cheating.

"White Man's greed in a world of need"

"I can no more disown [Rev. Dr. Wright] than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother – a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe."

The 'obession' of the Right about Wright goes back to the immediate, incessant and offensive accusations of racism thrown at anyone (and Tea Party-ers in particular) who ventured out to say they (a) would not vote for Obama, (b) thought Obama was inexperienced and unprepared.... had lied about his background, schooling, personal history and (c) opposed ObamaCare. It seems inconceivable to some in the Dem camp that Obama - regardless of color - espouses ideas, politics and behaviors that are not liked or supported on their own merit.

I don't care if Obama is purple. I don't like his politics, his inexperience, his deaf ear to the most basic business and economic concepts, his lack of work ethic, his self-absorbed personality and his disregard for the dignity of the presidency of the USA. Most unforgivable tho: he has continually embarrassed us abroad, made us look foolish and weak to our enemies, offended and betrayed allies. We can only hope the damage he - and that fool of a wife - has done to his office, our economy and this country is not irreparable in our lifetime.

McCain was wrong not to put more focus on Obama's connections to Wright and Bill Ayers. The outcome of the election may have been a lot different. Obama's attendance at Wrights' church for 20 YEARS show his mindset.

Should Romney focus on this aspect of the Anointed Ones' life?

Damn straight. Go for it Mitt!
