Wright is leaving the campaign.
Edited on Fri Mar-14-08 07:24 PM by chimpsrsmarter
commence with the complaining that it's not good enough.

Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign announced Friday that his former pastor had left the campaign’s spiritual advisory committee after the pastor’s inflammatory sermons ignited fierce debate in news accounts and political blogs.

The campaign said the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., who Obama has said brought him to Christianity, was “no longer serving” on Obama’s African American Religious Leadership Committee, a loose group of supporters associated with the campaign, NBC’s Mark Murray reported.

6. Why was he there at all? Obama either wants

to lose or isn't very smart politically.

12. Probably because the guy was born in Philly and he thought he might be able to
juice up the electorate ahead of the primary. However, they probably stowed that idea after the reports about electioneering from the pulpit came out, and are jeopardizing the tax exempt status of the TUCC and the UCC heirarchy (due to a speech by Obama to a huge UCC crowd where he discussed his candidacy). It just makes a bad situation worse....

8. Just like Ferraro, it's the most responsible action to take.
These candidates shouldn't be hurt by what their friends say....

9. I had doubts about Obama, but after hearing this pastor's words....
I no longer have doubts. OBAMA is my candidate. Thank GOD for truth. Let's dismiss with the bullshit!

27. Left
but left his mark and not forgotten, starting the rapid descent.

The captain has turned on the no smoking sign. Please fasten your seat belts.
