My response to Ayres would be, “yeah, right, whatever”. That stance comes from the standpoint of being sick and tired of those who would use any excuse for voting against Obama.
Those who are intelligent can understand that Obama and Wright are two completely different people with different worldviews. Obama knows and has expressed it repeatedly throughout his campaign the way to serve this country as president is to keep people unified as we work toward the goal of straightening out the mess left by Bush and company. Obama stresses unification and he has never expressed any radical or devisive views concerning race.
These blue-collar voters/soccer moms are full of CRAP. They aren’t not going to vote for Obama because of Wright. They’re not going to vote for him because they just don’t want to.
One thing about the Ayres article I agree with: Wright is hurting Obama. Therefore there should be no association with him from this point forward. Any more inflammatory statements from Wright need to be denounced by Obama posthaste. Obama has already made his views on Wright’s stances known. Thus, I don’t believe Obama should grant any more interviews concerning Wright unless Wright opens his mouth again. It only serves to keep this controversy in the public’s face.
