Reply #8: I remain undecided. I think Obama is going to have to find a way [View All]

to distance himself from those remarks if he wants to keep on keeping on. though. I wonder who suggested to him that this alliance was a good idea? That person might be 'let go'--that's what I'd do if I were doing the hiring/firing.

For some reason, I think he believes (though I am not sure of this at all) that this will endear him to the Black Christian community--or at least the "old school" branch of that tree. I think he's thinking it will help him pull votes from Senator Clinton...

The problem is, this could alienate others--committed 'well off' voters--if he does not clarify. As an example, I have a cousin who is gay. His sibling (not stinking rich but very 'well off') has, to this point, been an enthused and very active Obama supporter--in a KEY primary state. But this kind of shit could put the kabash on the direct debit hundred bucks a month, every month, donation--really. Ya don't go after the baby!!! And you don't allow anyone to say that the baby's orientation is anything other than what it is--it's part of him and that's that...and that's not a 'curse' by any stretch.

I can't imagine how my cousin is digesting this.

I'm thinking "not well."
