Poll: Obama hurt by Rev. Wright

A HCD Research poll shows Barack Obama’s ties to Rev. Jeremiah Wright could hurt him if voters watch some of his inflammatory comments.

52% of Democrats said they would be less likely to vote for Obama if they saw Wright’s comments. 54% of Independents and 71% of Republicans said the same.

Up until this point, Barack Obama has been walking on cloud 9. But, what do we really know about the man? He has ties to a corrupt Chicago businessman named Tony Rezko. Rezko is currently on trial. Obama also has been attending the Trinity United Church where Rev. Wright has preached for almost 20 years. Could Wright be the iceberg that brings the unsinkable Obama campaign down? Americans don’t respond well to blatant rage and hate. We never have. And if Obama claims Wright is like family to him, that might be too close an association. Even though Obama tried to diffuse the issue in his speech yesterday, the good news still remains, at this point it will still be hard for Hillary Clinton to catch up.

In closing, I’ll leave you with this, thanks to the American Thinker blog.   In Obama’s first book, Dreams of My Father, he seems to admit to knowing Rev. Wright was a bit off the beat and path.  “Some of my fellow clergy don’t appreciate what we’re about.  They feel we’re too radical.”  Read it for yourself on page 283.  Still think Obama had no idea how angry Rev. Wright really was?
