No...no. You’re too conspiratorial here. It’s simpler than that. Wright was his mentor. He’s not going to let Obama gradually distance himself like that—throwing him under the bus an inch at a time hoping no one will notice.
You think Wright’s ego can handle that? His entire pastoral life tapped just to get some young kid elected to
the presidency who, afterward, won’t give credit publicly or privately to the man?
Maybe some people would be willing to see the big picture and make such a sacrifice, but not this guy.
What does Wright gain by being tossed aside in order to get Obama into the White House? Nothing...not now. Maybe later, years later, but he’s myopic and wants his fame and praise now. Wright isn’t willing to wait for God to give him his props.
This is a case of Obama going from adoring the man to 1) having his handlers talk to him 2) not wanting him to do things and to keep quiet. Baiscally, disrespecting Wright’s legacy. That’s what Obama’s doing. And Obama must do that because Wright only represents 15% of the population. Obama must (and has, I believe) rise above it, and I think he’s really trying to do that.
Wright ain’t gonna take it.
No matter what, this was not his strategy trust me. He is watching his entire world vanish before his eyes. I know he’s in a fog right now. I have ZERO support to lend to Obama and I’d vote for Mccain and Hillary first—always would have—but I cringed listening to his press conference today. I felt heaps for the man. Regardless of what happens, he is in a fight for his life with his father.
No matter how great you are, you are always your father’s son. He will always pwn you.
Wright is, in all ways but genes, his father.
Obama’s father has come forth to put this boy in place as only he can, and he’s doing it.
It’s terrible.
Your post is too funny for words.
Clinton is now within 5 points of him in NC.
The Obama camp found a Media Group to work with Wright right after this story broke.
IMHO when they realized it couldn’t be spun the way they tried they had him go out and make these statments thereby giving cover to Obama.
Later if Obama wins they kiss and make up, not years but days after.
Good post.
I actually feel for Obama....not enough to vote for him...but that pastor is just a gigantic repulsive nightmare. It was Wright who has thrown Obama under the bus.
