The guy is sort of like that itch you have that you will scratch but it will come up somewhere else. Eventually just multiplying to several areas. That is what I am sure Obama is thinking of his former pastor and ‘friend’ Pastor Wright.
As if his initial comments were not enough, Wright chose to fan the flames of a controversy even more recently with his comments on Aids:
Also this week Wright basically calls Obama a Liar.
That only Wright is speaking the truth while Obama needs to be a “Politician”
Which is pretty odd since the ongoing thinking is that Obama is the only one out there speaking the truth to the American people. Puts Obama not at odds with the pundits but with his own Pastor and with his very own words.
Obama has been quoted as saying: he “wouldn’t have felt comfortable” remaining a member of Trinity, where the senator has worshipped for two decades. Yet we are again supposed to believe that you did not know about these radical statements?
This is the Elitist attitude that I had written about before. This you are too stupid to realize that he lied mentality. The don’t worry about who I associate with or what I have done in my past but what I am telling you I will Change for you in the future. What kind of BS is that? People are still eating this crap? Really!?
I being the cynic I am tend to think that this was partially planned by Obama’s camp. To try and vet everything Wright related now before the main show. Seeing as for all intents and purposes he is winning the primary against Hillary, he may as well take care of this business now.
Gingrich and several other pundits believes the opposite. That this is all Wrights doing to try and right his ‘good’ name.
Saying that Wright “went out of his way to weaken Obama” during Monday’s address at the National Press Club, Gingrich told Barbara Walters “I think Reverend Wright has a greater interest in his self-importance.”
Gingrich described Obama former pastor as “hard-line anti-American”, and said “if Rev. Wright continues to talk that the burden that Sen. Obama carries becomes bigger and bigger. “
Gingrich described Obama’s challenges as “two-fold”, citing “left-wing relationships” calling the Illinois senator “disingenuous” about them.
As ‘close’ friends that they supposedly were prior to this debacle, I would have to think that Wright would not do anything to further damage the Miracle boys chanCes of being elected. In fact this may be the perfect way for Obama to reputiate further what Wright said and look like he is clearly at odds with the pastor on political issues.
Its a perfect plan frankly.
In other news Obama apparently isn’t ‘black enough’ for Sharpton and has not lent his support to the Bell case enough. Sharpton, accused the presidential candidate of trying to “grandstand in front of white people”. Not white enough for some not black enough for some in the black community either. Strange times indeed.
Absolutely strange. On another blog I read how this was a plot by the Clintons to undermine Obama. The Clintons seem to have omnipotent power in the minds of Obama supporters, although not enough for her to win the nomination.
