Washington DC (not verified) says:
I think a lot of you Obama supporters should rethink the honesty factor in him. This is one reason why I can no longer support him. He was supposed to be different then all the others... in fact though he is the same if not worse!
First off that speech was a joke (no matter how well written/given it was) because he would have NEVER made it had he not gotten involved in the pastor scandal. He twisted the story about his church first saying things he later retracted and changed his story.
He's taken credit for legislation he never was a part of (see recent Washington Post article regarding the immigration bill) and I just now find him to be a complete opportunist! Something that Obama supporters claim about Hillary Clinton!
The only duty in his mind is that he has to win ... but at what cost?!
Fighting any chances of a revote in Florida and Michigan which could have settled this whole delegate dispute?? A sign of a true leader is one who would end the fight to move the Democratic process forward and that's not him. He knows in doing so he ruins his chances of the nomination with revote. I find this to be the total cowardly way out to get a win! Again, that's the sort of guy we would want to run our country? His misguided mental picture of dividing to unite??
And not to mention his severe lack of judgement to sit in on sermons for over 20 years that he supposedly doesn't agree with... Again, this is the sort of guy we would want to run our country?
For me and a lot of others I think not! This whole thing has nothing to do with him being black or about his venomous lipped pastor for that matter! I clearly support free speech so if his pastor wants to spew that sort of crap that's his business... MY role as a voter is to vet Mr. Obama based on his judgement (or lack of in this case) to associate himself with the notions of such a person whom he says he doesn't agree with... for 20 years.
Now I dont know anyone else but would you sit in a church for 20 years if you didn't agree with what was being said by the pastor? I think NOT! It's just not in human psychy to do so...
As far as his chances go in the fall, I would be betting on the other guy right now. His attitude toward MI and FL revotes are going to sink his chances at either of those States. I've talked to many Democratic voters in Michigan who tell me he shouldn't even bother to come speak there in November because he's wasting his breath... As for Florida, one instance is my 88 year old grandma, a life long Democrat, who because of her vote being lost in the primary, is now jumping parties in November. I would think that with many many seniors who vote Democratic there that this is going to be a reoccuring theme. I would also think that States like Ohio and Pennsylvania which he needs are going to go "red" this November.
For the guys who are promoting this new level of measure, the electoral college calculation. At this point, that would probably be the most accurate way to know if he has any chances in November because it's easy to do the math based on what will elect the next President. In doing that math, at this point, things aren't looking that good for his prospects now!
