Comments on: CBS Poll: Pastor's Remarks Hurt Obama

While Most Are Unaffected By Controversy, A Third Of Those Who Have Heard About It View Obama Less Favorably

[jon2012-2009]

877 people polled is such an insignificant sample, that this poll is skewed, by what I am hearing is that Democrats are embarrased to even SAY there voting for Obama. Do a bigger Sample and we can get a better picture.

Maybe I''ll believe you if you at least majored in statistics in college.

for me obama could steal this election, knowing what we do now, would iowa, idaho, open primary states and the stupid caucus states still vote for barack in the same numbers? i don''t think so.

Barack Hussein needs to fall on his own sword, or else the DNC needs to help him with the job. If he gets the nomination this boy is cold meat when the patriotic organizations get through with him next summer. This "God Damm America" bit isn''''t ever going away.

======================================================

can you do me a favor? Can you tell me exactly when Barack Obama himself said "God D*mn America" please? I have searched long and hard for that and can''t seem to find a single reference to Obama himself saying that. I have found numerous things such as yesterday''s speech which CLEARLY showed his patriotism for the US. But, if you have evidence for the contrary, please advise.

BTW, if someone''s parents or brother or sister or something say something YOU don''t agree with, would YOU disown them? or still love them like family? If you did disown them, wouldn''t you be disloyal to your family? Barack''s church is part of his family. Why would he abandon them? That would be pathetic for him to abandon his Pastor who wed him and his wife and baptized his children... and to abandon the congregation he''s known for 20 years. Takes a man of HIGH moral courage to stick with his family. BTW, i''m a WHITE JEW who is FOR Barack.

HAve a nice day!

I am soooo sick of all of this rhetoric; can anyone (candiates, citizens) talk about the issues? I don''t see how any of this foolishness can help the current state of America. As far as what the Pastor said, I think a lot of this stuff is garbage; but he has an absolute right to say it. But Senator Obama''s supporters need to understand that other candidates surrogates have a right to say what they want also. With such pressing problems as housing/or the lack thereof, health care, rising food prices, failing schools, etc. I am supposed to get exorcised over what this man or Gerry Ferraro say. GET REAL FOLKS!!! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!!!

Obama had 20 years to influence his pastor to a higher perspective on race. He didn''t do it. That means he is great at making speeches about change, but doesn%u2019t have the courage to take "action" for change when he should. So...We need Florida and Michigan to re-vote! We must vote Obama out of this race if we want a chance for "change" from the current Republican agenda, because I do not believe Obama can win the general election now that his pastor''s sermons are public. The Republicans will use them to scare people. If Obama opposes these re-votes, he is putting himself above what may be best for the country, because people voted for him before they really knew him . Thank you ABC for investigating him for us!

What has the Dem party done for the black race oh I know helped them get ten million abortions yea way to look out for them. One day blacks will see who realy has brought them down.

I don''t know that Republicans don''t do abortions, with or without encouragement from anybody. Of course, they''re a touch hypocritical and like to pay lip service to how it''s a sin and so on. What counts is appearances in the eyes of your fellow men. I bet they do more abortions than any other group in American society.

Obama has shown that his "Superior judgement" is not so good!! Anybody who would support him at this point also has flawed judgement.Period.

Interesting poll. So let''s see, immediately after the worst thing that has happened to Mr. Obama, most people''s feelings about him have not changed.

I would be interested in seeing the same poll three or four weeks from now after high emotions have calmed down.

it''s interesting that rabid Clinton supporters want Mr. Obama to leave despite the fact that he leads Clinton even in new polling. He may have dropped, but that''s expected immediately after something like this. Clinton and her supporters including the two rabid ones right below my post can''t come to grips with the fact that she will not be coronated queen of the US.

It''s quite apparent also that there is a lot of racism in the Democratic Party. This is evident by the repeated unecessary use of Mr. Obama''s middle name. By now, everyone knows what his middle name is. Despite that, he is still on top. Hillary should quit and stop destroying the Party. I won''t vote for Hillary if she steals the nomination. Her nomination will energize the right and turn off many young voters and minorities who are democratics. She will also turn off Indep., who are the key vote for both parties.

Please can everybody stop theis race baiting. l am a white female and l will be voting for barack Obama becasue at this point in history he is the best person for the presidency.

He is not beholden by special interest, he does not take money from lobbyist and one million of ordinary Americans like me have donated to him and l beg you to stop dividing us against racial lines.

It is time for our government to work for people like you and me instead of their ''''special interest''''agenda.

Barack Obama for ordinary people like you and me!!

What makes you say that (please be specific)? This is a serious question.

[observerq]

If the Repulicans are satisfied with a candidate that doesn''t know the correct data about the subject matter with which he is speaking regarding an Iranian Shiite extremist group and the Sunni terrorist group Al-Quaeda, making it terribly apparent with his repeated misquote, that is really unfortunate.

On another note: Is there really any more to be said about Rev Wright''s comments and Obama''s loyalty to this country as well his ability to lead it? His true sentiment which is much different than Rev Wright''s was highlighted in the speech he gave on yesterday. It is apparent that his intent is to lead this country as a president willing to bridge the gaps between people. He has addressed the issue and made it clear what his true beliefs are. Is there a political advantage to be gained in the constant attention to this situation?
