    A few weeks ago, Hillary Clinton’s chances looked dim in the Indiana and North Carolina primaries. It looked as if Barack Obama might be able to deliver the knockout blow he has been searching for since March.
    Obviously the reemergence of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright has once again changed the dynamics of this race. I have covered events at the National Press Club in Washington for decades. I am still a member of this institution. When one makes comments in such a forum, they are not made in a vacuum. They are not misconstrued or misquoted. Wright’s volatile comments did not necessarily signal the end Obama’s chances to be the Democratic nominee, but they effectively put the kibosh on his chances to capture the White House.
   Obama strongly disavowed Wright’s recent comments, and may have stopped the bleeding in the short term. But here’s a memo to those Democratic super delegates: get over your problems with the Clintons, or you will be super depressed after the general election. The Republicans will have an arsenal of negative ads, hitting Obama on everything from his lack of experience to his somewhat questionable associates. Recent polls showed Hillary Clinton leading John McCain in a hypothetical matchup.
    In Indiana, Clinton has now moved ahead in the polls, while Obama’s once large lead in North Carolina has shrunk to as little as five points. It appears Democratic voters in the primaries have begun to shift allegiances in the last week. Can the super delegates see the forest for the trees?

my argument is Barack Obama should look into his past,And really think he is a person for this country,His mind set is black thoughts and black power millon man march,his pastor.in the armed services so was "Timothy McVeigh.Oklahoma City bombing
America think hard and knowing some ones past,is some ones truth.
