As an Obama supporter, I don't like Reverend Wright. I believe that he's the biggest liability to Obama. I agreed with a lot of things that he said to the point that I even did research,look up stuff on the internet to confirm and make a point that race relations isn't all that great in USA. I do not believe in the AIDS conspiracy stuff. I
also feel that he's hurt Obama badly among the white blue collar working class,and this showing in Pennsylvania. Even Hillary is gaining in Indiana in the polls. Also Hillary is now seen as being able to beat McCain more than him. So the Rev Wright fiasco has really hurt his chances.

I didn't like what Rev Wright was talking to the NAACP. He was pointing out the differences between the learning styles of blacks and whites. He says that blacks are rightbrained and whites are leftbrained. Of course, that's ridiculous. I don't believe in that. I feel that he's promoting differences between ethnic groups and even reinforcing stereotypes. Those are things that I just can't stand.
Many whites are rightbrained and many blacks are leftbrained. Then there are the mixed types to consider....where do they fit in. Of course,neurodivergents like me are rightbrained people...especially autistics are at the end of the rightbrained spectrum...reading Autistic Dr. Temple Grandin's THINKING IN PICTURES. Of course as a neurodivergent,neurodiversity advocate/activist,I have to protest against his claiming that ethnic groups have different thinking/learning styles from each other. The only thing that I agree with is that different is not necessarily deficient. As we neurodivergents have significant strengths that help us compensate for our weaknesses.

but yeah...I am really starting to dislike Rev Wright because he's divisive and too Afrocentric in my opinion. I am a person believes in interethnic relations as well as the multiethnic,multicultural experience that involves tolerance. I believe that having a pastor like Wright is not showing that one is for unity.

I am definitely not the only person who believes that. Rev Wright is sinking Barack's campaign. I feel that he's better off dropping out of the race and let Hillary take the nomination. I feel that would be an honorable and selfless thing to do and that would fit well with the Neptune in 12th square Sun if 1:06 pm birthtime is right. Of course,his Sun conjunct North Neptune Node would fit that too.
Maybe Hillary will pick him as her vice president. I am not sure about that because there seems to be some animosity between the two.
Barack's controversial baggage could end up being a liability for Hillary who has her own baggage.

Not only that...polls show that McCain is trusted more than Hillary and Barack when it comes to the key issues. I also believe that his age won't be a liability because he can pick a vice president who is considerably younger than him. It seems possible that Mitt Romney could end up being his running mate.

That's just my opinion.
