folks, check it out, this may be invaluable in showing Obambi a liar when he says he never heard or approved of any of “Reverend” Wright’s radical loony remarks. Less than 12 months ago Obama was introducing Wright in the most glowing terms..... Here is Obambi last June (2007) showing that he still adored Rev. Wright and fully agreed with him as of that date, giving a warm and rousing acknowledgement to his spiritual mentor before a large audience of black ministers..... is it really plausible that Obama considered Wright his main spiritual guide and mentor yet knew nothing of his actual views???..... here is Obambi repeating the foolish canard of “more black men in prison than in college” which Rev. Wright loves to talk about.
Does anyone know how to download and save this video for posterity in case it gets quickly “disappeared”?? I can watch it streaming but I don’t know how to save it as an MP3 or whatever. It won’t last long once Obambi’s pals realize it could deep-six his whole campaign. (video is on upper right, you have to click on the little image that shows Obama above the video screen).
Obama Warns Of ‘Quiet Riot’ Among Blacks
http://cbs2chicago.com/topstories/Obama.Blacks.Quiet.2.337535.html
Obama, who is bidding to become the first black president, took the stage after a succession of ministers repeatedly brought the crowd to its feet, singing, praying and swaying to music.
Repeatedly, with evangelical zeal, he raised issues that roused the crowd: increasing the minimum wage and teacher pay, funding for public schools and college financial aid for the poor, ending predatory lending and expediting the reconstruction of New Orleans and the Mississippi coast.
He introduced his own pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright of Chicago’s Trinity United as “Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian.” He credited Wright with introducing him to Christ, and peppered his speech with Scriptural references, at one point invoking the opening lines of the Lord’s Prayer.
Obama noted that during the riots, a bullet pierced the abdomen of a pregnant woman and lodged in the elbow of her fetus. The baby was delivered by caesarian section, the bullet was removed and the child, Jessica Glennis Evers-Jones, has only a small scar on her arm to show for it.
Using the incident as a metaphor, Obama said society’s problems are worsening because “in too many places across the country, we have not even bothered to take the bullet out.”
“When we have more black men in prison than in college, then it’s time to take the bullet out,” he said.

From 1997 through 2002, the Obamas reported devoting less than 1 percent of their household income to charity. In 2005, as the book-deal money poured in, they reported $1.65 million in combined income, with $77,315, or 4.7 percent, going to charity.
Only a few of the tax returns released by Obama detail the recipients of his charity. In 1998, when the Obamas reported a combined household income of $191,146 and $1,100 in cash donations to charity, the biggest gift went to Trinity. It totaled $400, about 0.2 percent of their combined income.
In 2005 they gave the church $5,000 and in 2006 it received $22,500.
