Ummm … well … This does not look good for Barack Obama.

Apparently, it’s not fair when the “vast right wing conspiracy” calls Rev. Jeremiah Wright on the ridiculous things he’s said over the years, as Obama defended him. I mean, after all, those snippets from sermons were taken out of context, right?

But now, something is different when Obama himself denounces the same pastor, making essentially the same types of remarks … unfiltered … unedited … in front of the whole world.

So what’s different? Other than a poor showing in Pennsylvania, I’m not sure.

Over a month ago, I wrote about Obama’s judgment gap. One of his claims has been that despite his relatively short legislative record, he possesses the judgment to bring change to the political process. However, in looking at his record in the area of judgment, it’s clear that he hasn’t exercised very much good judgment in recent years. Now, he’s essentially copping to that. Rev. Wright, Tony Rezko, Bill Ayers are not the kind of people you want to be associated with. It demonstrates poor judgment.

While I don’t think this is the end of the Obama candidacy by an stretch, it’s definitely a misstep on the heels of Pennsylvania and heading to Indiana and North Carolina.
