Obama's Big Whoops...

Jeremiah Wright is Obama's Achilles Heel.

Fanatical, irreverent or just plain crazy -- Wright is the single largest threat to Obama's candidacy, and if I was a betting man, I would say this bombshell development is enough to stifle Obama's chances completely...

Having been his pastor for 20 years -- this fellow isn't someone that Obama can simply reject (or denounce) easily, despite his recent efforts. In fact, in an attempt to distance himself from Wright, Obama first described him as "an old uncle who sometimes will say things that I don't agree with." Disagree or not, "an uncle"? He was supposed to distance himself from the man, not depict him as family member. Additionally, he has been described as Obama's "mentor," and he even gave the Senator the title of his best-selling book, "The Audacity of Hope."

If this makes Obama supporters uneasy, can you imagine the effect this former campaign "spiritual advisor" will have on an impressionable electorate choosing between Barack Obama and John McCain?

And to make matters worse, it's all on videotape. Yes, that means that any and all of Barack's opponents can rerun these clips until the cows come home.
