Jeremiah Wright Controversy Doesn't Hurt Obama's Patriotism, Poll Finds

There is a patriotism problem. Patriotism is being used by scoundrels, thieves and murderers to promote their self interests.

I just love it when Billary's supporters say the Poll is skewed, why because your candiates back door race baiting hasn't worked so far?

Senator ObamaChuck Hagel 2008

i think that is a skewed poll. I am a Hillary supporter and a Democrat. I believe Hillary is better Presidential Candidate. I spoke to my aunt who lives in Texas yesterday, she is a registered Democrat, Catholic, Single mother of two grown boys. When we started talking politics, she was not bothered by what Rev. Wrights said about "white america" she and her colleagues were most disturbed by what Rev. Wright said about America, and September 11th. She was not a fan of Hillary's, she was hoping to cast her ballot for John Edwards. She ended up voting for Hillary- but through the media bias that continues, the constant bashing that Hillary has received- she has really come around to Hillary and is now a very big supporter. So this polling info- strikes me as strange- Senator Obama and his campaign have been very good at spinning the media- just take a look at the HuffPost- compare headlines. Who has the most friendly/favorable- who has the most unfriendly/unfavorable.

I have attended Trinity a few times. I've read Dr Cone as well as Rev Wright's works.

I see Obama as Rev Wright's son who will use the White House's bully pulpit to preach similar sermons to the American people. The way Obama runs his campaign with a hateful attitude toward Hillary and Bill tells me what I need to know. Twenty years of being preached to about the evils of white people has determined Obama's attitudes.

I think the American people will learn to dislike Obama the more we hear from him

I'm republican (disclaimer). At first I was wondering how that could possibly be. But after thinking about it I realized that's how I would rank them too. With respect to Wright, I don't think he buys into Wright's conspiracies. I think Wright has a very over simplified view of racism and why it exists...I think Obama has a much more mature understanding of both sides. Just think he would have been smart to keep Wright as a friend and not as a pastor/spiratual advisor, IMO.

So why not support him? Honestly, it comes down to judge appointments (I'm not in favor of a liberal interpretaion of the consitution) and taxes. Obama thinks I'm borderline rich...I'm SO not rich. I worry about retirement, health care (quality and cost), putting my kids through school, and the same everyday stuff that everyone else does.

I'm not surprised by this and I find it quite promising. Americans of late have been tarred with the brush of greed and cynicism, with the notion of being unconcerned with the poor and disadvantaged, ready to bomb anyone anytime into desolation and dispair. I don't think Americans really want to see themselves like that. I think Obama's openness, calm manner, and offering of hope paint a better portrait of us as human beings that are charitable and decent. I'm not surprised to see us responding to his campaign and rejecting the divisiveness and anger, bullying and fighting. I'm weary of always being in battle with other Americans, other races, other religions, other nations. I'd like to have a little comfort of tranquility and true leadership.

Let's see who has better values:

McCain: cheated on his 1st wife to marry a rich chic. Golddigger extraoardinaire.

Clinton: Travelgate, Whitewater, Cattle Futures, Wal-Mart board member, 12 years as a corporate attorney, tried to get Thomas Taylor acquitted for child rape, etc.

Obama: could have gotten a huge attorney job after Harvard; instead, got a $12k/year job as a Civil rights Attorney.

Yeah, who has better values???

Oh, really???
I can not believe that!!!
Take a poll at Asian population to see that it is true?

I'm not surprise because it is CBS

OK, the common sense of the American electorate has been redeemed in my eyes, LOL! Hooray for common sense.

you mean people actually realize that respect for the constitution, and wanting people to participate in their democracy are an important part of the concept of patriotism? no way

makes you wonder who was polled.

Obama has substantive patriotism, not facade,charade shiny flag pin patriotism

Obama is a strong believer in our constitution - and that is the number one job. The LIAR Hillary, however, could care less:

"Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation " one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman"s 17-year career.

Why?

'Because she was a liar,' Zeifman said in an interview last week. 'She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.'"

"I think it's still well to early to assume that the story is completely behind him, that he handled it well enough last month that he will not be forced to handle it again in the future. Nevertheless, Obama did show an ability to take a punch -- and a hard one, at that -- yet stay on his feet and endure in his purpose. And if that's not the kind of quality one would like to see in the Democratic nominee, I'm not sure what would be. "
