Barack Obama has some problems. Being a relative unknown person until he entered the race for President, one has to wonder what else we may find out about the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination.

One problem is his relationship with indicted fundraiser and developer Tony Rezko.

Another is his earmark requests for his wife’s employer and for a major fundraiser’s employer.

But, his biggest problem at this time is his relationship with his Pastor, Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright. We’ve probably all seen some recently released sermons from Rev. Wright that at best can be called a hate-filled speech. If not, Google his name.

Obama now has some dents in his armor. The Rev. Wright issue is more like a gouge all the way through the armor. Obama is wounded.

Obama has been attending the Trinity United Church of Christ for about 20 years. He was married there. His children were baptized there. Rev. Wright also inspired the title of Obama’s book, “The Audacity of Hope.” By the way, Louis Farrakhan was given an award for lifetime achievement at this church.

I hope that Obama’s young children did not hear the hatred spewed from Rev. Wright.

Friday night on MSNBC’s Countdown, host Keith Olbermann did the first interview (at least Olbermann said it was the first interview) with Obama since the videos of Rev. Wright became public. Olbermann threw Obama a lot of softball questions (being a leftie, one would expect nothing less from Olbermann).

But even with the softball questioning, Obama still stuttered and stammered through the interview. He did say that Rev. Wright was like an Uncle to him.

An hour or so later, Obama was on Fox News. He’s made the rounds on the major news outlets trying to stop the bleeding.

Obama also said he was not present when Wright spoke the hateful things. It appears from the videos, Wright has said these things in several services. This may leave Obama wide open if the next thing we see is a video of Wright saying something inflammatory with Obama clapping in the congregation. That would sink the Obama ship. I cannot believe that Obama never heard about these sermons.

Obama denounced the inflammatory remarks from Rev. Wright, but that may be too late. Supposedly, Wright is no longer part of Obama’s campaign, which was a move that was also made too late.

Many folks are now wondering if Barack Obama has the judgment and experience to be President.

Many in the United States have fallen in love with Barack Obama. He’s drawn thousands to his campaign speeches. His prepared speeches are great.

We don’t know what else is hidden in his past that may come forward as his campaign for President goes on. If he wins the Democratic nomination, his supporters will be holding their breath until the election, while battling what will be a host of 527 groups running commercials attacking him for his devotion of 20 years to his spiritual adviser, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

Hillary Clinton has to be looking like the safer candidate for President to the Democrats these last few days.
