Pap Attack - Reverend Wright
The great thing about Jeremiah Wright is that he is incredibly self destructive he has an Ann Coulter quality about him where you expect his head to start spinning around on his neck and smoke to start blowing out his ears.
The more he talks, the goofier he looks. Obama is now playing off that ego maniacal flaw with Wright, going as far as almost describing Wright as a cheap hustler looking for a bigger spotlight. The more Wright talks, the angrier and more energized Obama and his political base become.
Obama is getting great advice – Continue to treat Hillary like a desperate challenger who thinks she deserves to be President. Now he needs to focus his campaign against McCain, who is all over the world about the political image he wants to portray - Day one he’s on the stump looking like a geriatric mixture of Rambo and Dr. Strangelove. Day two he is in New Orleans talking like a Franciscan monk out to save the poor. Day three he moves into his corporate lapdog mode and pledges $2 Trillion dollars in tax cuts to America’s wealthiest corporations.
The attacks on McCain are easy – That’s where Obama needs to focus.
Even while the Wright issue continues, Obama won the support of two more superdelegates, including Representative Ben Chandler of Kentucky, a very white, very conservative democrat.
I believe the media is going to experience some serious backlash from their effort to trash Obama over this Wright issue. A huge majority of generation X-ers, MTV, and Millennial voters already get their news from the Internet. They already don’t trust mainstream media.
The cheaper the shots get over issues like Rev. Wright and lapel pins – The more they alienate an entire generation on mainstream media political coverage.
