With Obama losing the Pennsylvania primary just last week, this is not a good time for his campaign to have to deal with more controversial comments made by Rev. Wright, while still trying to increase his support in the upcoming primaries. Personally I feel that because the election has taken a lull, this new information regarding Wright's comments that he would not be surprised if the U.S. government was responsible for the AIDS epidemic amongst African Americans, will drastically hurt Obama. Recent polls showed that 20% of voters in the Pennsylvania weighed heavily on the race issue. Even though Obama has stated that he in no way agrees with Rev. Wright's comments, it is still the issue that he has known this man for 20 years. Which makes me wonder, how can people control what their friends or acquaintances say? Is it fair to judge the candidates on what the public is saying? Yes, I know that is what happens, but is there a way to prevent it?
On Another note, the Republican party is constantly gaining more ammunition against Obama if he were to win the Democratic nominee. Could Rev. Wright be the main factor that prevents Obama from becoming the Democratic nominee?
