Wounded Obama a loss for Democrats

I am a sad Democrat.   How can we even consider Obama as the nominee for our Party? 

• Obama was married by the Reverend Wright
• Obama had his children christened by the Reverend
• Obama studied the Reverend's tapes while at Harvard
• Obama chose to attend the Reverend's church for 20 years
• Obama took the title of his book from the Reverend
• Obama claimed the Reverend as his spiritual mentor
• Obama said that words count
• Obama and the Reverend discussed distancing themselves from one and other, once he intended to run for the Presidency

Unfortunately we have now had to listen to the Reverend Jeremiah Wright spew his racist hatred and inflammatory remarks for days on end.  Where was the judgement Obama claims he has for the last 20 years?   For 20 years the Reverend's words counted for Obama however much he now tries to distance himself.

If Obama becomes our nominee, I can just imagine what the 'Swift Boaters' will do - ads running with split screens of the Reverend raving;   Obama claiming the Reverend as his mentor;   Michelle saying "it's the first time in my life that I am proud to be an American"; everyone with their hands on their heart except for Obama;   everyone wearing the American flag on their lapels except for Obama, etc., etc., etc..

I  sincerely hope that the Super Delegates come to their senses and make the proper decision and elect Hillary to be our nominee, she is our only chance to win back the White House.

I communicate with friends across the USA and we will NOT support Obama, we prefer to vote for a Patriot.

Discouraged Democrat
