...The first time Obama attended services at Trinity, Wright delivered a sermon (it was titled “the audacity of hope”) whose theme was: “white folks’ greed runs a world in need.”
Twenty years later, when it was revealed that Wright’s church had honored Louis Farrakhan, that Wright had traveled with Farrakhan to visit the Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi, and that in his sermons Wright had beseeched God to “damn America,” charged the U.S. government with inventing the AIDS virus in order to kill black people, and claimed that Israel and South Africa had colluded to invent an “ethnic bomb” to kill blacks and Arabs while leaving whites unharmed — when all this was revealed, Obama, under pressure from the Hillary Clinton campaign, declared himself “shocked” at Wright’s vitriol.
But in truth not only was he aware of Wright’s views, they were what had drawn him to Trinity church in the first place...

Almost as soon as the war began in March 2003, Obama had second thoughts about his opposition to it. Watching the dramatic footage of the toppling of Saddam’s statue in Baghdad, and then the President’s speech aboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln,
“I began to suspect,” he would write later in his autobiographical The Audacity of Hope (2006), “that I might have been wrong.”
And these second thoughts seem to have stayed with him throughout the entire first phase of the occupation following our initial combat victory. As he told the Chicago Tribune in July 2004, “There’s not that much difference between my position and George Bush’s position at this stage.”
Here is my only issue with this theory. Why travel all the around the world to find a black muslim to step in when I’m sure there would have been plenty of black muslims right here in America would have been glad to claim the son of X?
Doesn’t it seem a little out of the way to do all this?
I had no idea that Wright had visitied Quadafi with Farakhan.
People, it is seeming more and more (and I wish I was so nice as to say “bless their hearts”, but I don’t) the morons in this country do not recognize or care that they literally elected an enemy of the state.
Lucy, I am not optimistic. I feel we have literally elected the end of our nation as we knew it.
