Is It Time For Obama's Political Campaign Obituary?

Barack Obama is giving a speech tonight on RACE. I have a mild nauseating feeling that the curtains could slowly be lowering down on his political campaign bid for president. Even if he gives a phenomenal speech, I think the Rev. Wright’s comments have done much damage, and I just don’t like how many Republicans and Conservatives are behaving and being so hypocritical.

Right now, I am of the sentiment that I may not even vote. However, these impending feelings of doom for his presidential campaign have surfaced for me over the last 24 hours. Therefore, this morning, I created a political obituary for his campaign. It may be premature, but this is how I feel about his chances to be the president of the United States of America. This is not a death announcement of his person, but an announcement of the end of his political campaign for presidency.

For the record, I hope this issue (pastor's comments) does not prevent him from gaining the Democratic nomination. Should Obama win and go up against Senator McCain, this could potentially be the nastiest, ugliest presidential race this country will ever have seen.

Obama, Barack Hussein –of Capitol Hill formerly of Chicago. Presidential political campaign entered into rest March 18, 2008. His beloved wife Michelle, campaign manager and staff were at his side at his press conference to announce the end of his U.S. presidential bid. His political bid leaves behind millions of supporters and ex-supporters. He was placed in a position where he had to be defensive and distracted on issues regarding race.

He was one of the few black prospective candidates who could get over the racial divide. Nevertheless, unfortunately, “politically toxic” comments by his pastor, and his twenty-year relationship with the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Jr., left many to question his judgment, and were the heavy hammers his opponents needed to seal the nails his political campaign coffin. They did not have much else to hang his presidential bid with, and he faced very little scrutiny. However, yearlong grassroots email campaigns, spreading rumors about his pastor and his middle name, transitioned from rumor to news with mainstream media.

Political funeral services will be private at the request of the Democratic Party family. Only Democratic Party family members from Obama’s side will attend. If you are a Clinton supporter, please call to pre-arrange viewing of remnants of what is left of the political campaign. Conservatives and Republicans need not attend, and in lieu of flowers memorial contributions, please send donations to the “Obama for President in 12” campaign funds foundation, Hypocrites Anonymous, or in his name, at a local educational charity of your choice.
