Another endorsement leaves Obama with big day in delegate race
April 30th, 2008 by Staff · No Comments
Congressman Bruce Braley (D-IA) announced his endorsement for Barack Obama today adding another superdelegate to Obama’s list. This was the third superdelegate vote from a member of Congress that Obama received today alone, making this lead 140 and on their way to the 285 delegate votes they need.
Braley was introduced as a champion for workers and families. His work to raise minimum wage and trade laws that benefit workers was also noted. Braley said that he initially pledged his superdelegate vote to John Edwards, but when he dropped out of the race, Braley decided he would take his time on making his decision as to who his vote would go to. After much deliberation, he decided to endorse Obama, making him the 19th superdelegate that had supported Edwards and now supports Obama.

Obama: Wright’s comments contradict everything I’ve done in my life
April 29th, 2008 by Staff · 1 Comment
Presidential candidate Barack Obama responded to the “objectionable and offensive” comments made by his pastor the Rev. Jeremiah Wright earlier this week at the National Press Club. Obama said he was “appalled” by the Reverend’s statements and that he “had enough” of the minister who acted “disrespectfully” toward him by not only making incendiary, hateful comments, but by claiming that the Senator’s opposition to them was just “political posturing,” as well.
Obama fully rejected everything the Reverend said, and claimed Wright had become someone the Senator claimed he had not seen during his time at Wright’s church. Obama said the relationship between himself and the Reverend was now “severely strained,” and that he was “saddened and disappointed” by the pastor who married him and his wife and baptized his children. Obama delivered an emotional speech, doing everything in his power to condemn and distance himself from the “ridiculous” Reverend.
