Some argue that blacks should vote for Clinton "because her husband was good to us," he continued.

"That's not true," he thundered. "He did the same thing to us that he did to Monica Lewinsky."

That’s rather unusual for one black leader to criticize another black leader.

The candidate's 1995 book Dreams From My Father depicts Obama's decision to join Trinity United as a fundamental step in affirming his identity as an African-American. Obama's mother was white, he was raised in large part by her parents and he spent much of his youth in Indonesia with his mother's second husband. He only met his father, a Kenyan, once.

How then, can he say that he identifies with American blacks? He apparently knows little of black culture other than what he's been told.

Indonesia? Good grief.

Good find. But he wouldn’t call himself a priest; he’s a minister.

That funny, I thought all black men were supposed to be called 'Reverend' as soon as they get involved in politics. Aren't they all self-ordained Reverends? (when I see a black man on the news, I automatically assume that he is a Reverend...maybe I'm wrong, some of them are ministers.)

Yes, that's true. Here's more with remarks from Obama:

Obama's Friend, Pastor, and Mentor Needs to Apologize

Barack Obama needs to stand up, be a man, and take responsibility for a change.  He can't blame this incident away on a junior staffer.  Barack Obama needs to take a break from comparing himself to Abe Lincoln, JFK, RFK, MLK, and Ronald Reagan, and disavow the comments made by his friend, mentor, and pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.  

Wright, in a move similar to Bob Johnson (who issued a written apology to Barack Obama and his family), dredged up an ugly past to attack a Democratic candidate, and her husband.

Per the Baltimore Sun, Wright, while preaching in his Church, said:

"Some argue that blacks should vote for Clinton "because her husband was good to us," he continued.

"That's not true," he thundered. "He did the same thing to us that he did to Monica Lewinsky."

First, there is no place for this in a Church.  Secondly, I don't think there are many who would argue that Bill Clinton did to black people what he did to Monica (whatever that may be, use your dirty mind).

Obama has NOT disavowed these remarks.  Instead he offers:

"Like a member of my own family, there are things he says at times with which I deeply disagree," he said. "But as he prepares to retire, that doesn't detract from my affection for Reverend Wright or appreciation for the good works he has done."

No, 40 years. Up until some time in the mid 1960’s the black vote was reliably Republican.

Of course the Republican Party pretty much used the black vote then the same as the democrat party does today. The only difference is that the R’s accomplished at least two things, emancipation (two amendments to the constitution) and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Go figure.

Reverend is the title, and Rev. is the religious equivalent of Mr. Sometimes it’s used colloquially when people speak about “the Reverend” without using the last name.

Priest is generally restricted to Catholics, Anglicans, or occasionally Lutherans, I think. But most Protestants would use Minister or Pastor or Preacher or the like.

A fair number of black politicians either used to be ministers of a church of some kind, or else just use it (I suspect) as a device to cut their income taxes.

That’s a good idea.

Do a search for it, and ping us when you find it!

Wouldn’t it be nice if someday they woke up and saw that?

Unfortunately, if they do wake up this election, it won't make them consider the Republican candidate, just Obama, which is this minister's whole goal. They're just shifting from one plantation to another.
