Obama has been Swift Boated by his own Pastor.

Something has finally caught up with Barrack Obama and it did not come from the Hillary camp or the Republicans. No, the straw that broke the camel's back was someone that Barrack knew personally, his pastor, The Rev.Jeremiah Wright of the Trinity United Church of Christ. For more than 20 years, Senator Obama has been a regular at his church. So when certain clips of some sermons came to the public eye, many were shocked that a Obama's Reverend, (for whom he said that he had a close relationship with) would say such vile and somewhat racist statements. When the media caught wind of these sermons, the firestorm was released and the future of Obama's popularity was starting to shrink.
The problem with this situation is, not that Obama was at any fault, no the problem lies with Obama being "Guilty by Association". Sure the Rev. said some vile statements about 9-11, Jews and other subjects, but its different, these sermons are supposed to be this way. In some Black churches there is a different way some Black preachers, preach the bible to there parishioners, its called "Black Liberation Theology". This theology came about around the same time the civil rights era was beginning to brew. It focuses around the belief that the black man is oppressed and that the white man is the oppressor. Political issues always seem to find there way into these sermons and they usually have a profound effect on their listeners. These sermons are fiery, they can provoke thought and also rip open old wounds of the past. The preachers constantly remind there people of the history of slavery, racial strife, and oppression. Some researchers suggest that this kind of theology only damages race relations and only focuses on the past, not the future. If one is constantly reminded of the hardships they have endured by another, then there relationship with that person/race is never going to be trusted.
Obama first tipped toed around the issue, then made a rather telling speech about race relations in America. This may have hurt him, at first he was seen as the "Candidate", now he made be seen as the "Black Candidate", scaring off potential white voters still undecided. They may now think that Obama carries some of these beliefs with him that his Rev. preaches. One can't be faulted for someone else’s statements, though this is politics and everything is in play.
