Obama Falls Off the Wire
Building over the last several weeks were Barack Obama's albatrosses; Reverend Wright, Weatherman Ayers, and the Religion and Guns comment.
Obama was notable in the fact that he never fully distanced himself from any of the three, choosing to perform a high wire act. Because he didn't want to offend his base, which is represented by Wright, Ayers, and the San Francisco elites hearing his remarks. But he also didn't want mainstream America to think he actually shared those radical views.
So his supporters are divided into two camps. The first is the Wright/Ayers/Elites camp, who shout "Amen" to the wild ideas expressed by those Obama compadres. They don't have a problem with an unrepentant Ayers, who still holds and refuses to apologize for the political views that led him to bomb government buildings back when he was younger. They agree with Reverend Wright, who believes the government is complicit in ongoing oppression of American blacks, including introducing AIDS to cull the black population. (I wonder if he's every heard of Eugenics and Planned Parenthood?) They agree that those gun-toting, church-attending rednecks need to be suppressed.
The second camp are those who have bought Obama's messianic ad campaign hook, line, and sinker. They are so invested in the savior Obama that they will stick their fingers in their ears and yell "LaLaLaLa" to keep anyone from pointing out these evidences that Obama probably isn't the person he represents himself to be.
It's very simple to find the logical conclusion about candidate Obama and these associations. He's an academic, which means he comes from a world that is steeped in the philosophies of these associates. He attended Reverend Wright's church for many years, and admitted the pastor has been his mentor. Despite his denials, evidence seems pretty clear that he's had an ongoing relationship with the academic radical Ayers.
Obama is who he is. He is friendly with the radical left. He can't run away from that fact. But he understands that this can't be allowed to get out, because if it does he cannot possibly win the general election. He hoped that he could deny the radicalism of his associates with a wink and a nod, helping him win both the radical and the mainstream elements of the voting population. Clearly that is falling apart.
It's not over yet, and he may yet pull his campaign out of the firestorm. But this certainly opens the door a bit wider for Hillary.
