I think its a big set up by the Obama PR team to get rid of the Wright issue once and fro all . Just wait there will be a big Obama press meeting with him condemning and disowning him. The Drudge report which has become a Obama 527 now has an odd title to the article which sounds like the latest Obama press strategy.

Photobucket Sure is. Wright's so called explanations and excuses are simply ridiculous. I don't need to understand black churches when I hear anti-american and racist remarks. There is no excuse for Obama being this man's friend and sitting in his congregation for 20 years.

Think there is some 'parsing' going on here. Could be a huge difference in Obama's taking offense with Wright and his understanding that 'our offense' may be ligitimate.

No question, Obama is offended by Wright's comments; his personal 'gospel'; becoming 'public discourse'

Whereas, our offense, is with Wright's focus. . .the content. . .intent. . .of his racist rhetoric posing as 'Gospel'.

Obama will not honestly deny Rev.Wright; because he honestly cannot.

“Jeremiah Wright...grabbed the spotlight for the fourth day in a row by suggesting the furor around his controversial remarks is an attack on black churches.”

Same thing Mitt Romney’s supporters kept saying a few months ago, that criticism of his public policy record and comments were really an attack on the Mormon church.

A nonsensical construct in both cases.

Wright sees an opening for him to become a “national black leader” like his heroes, Louis, Al, Jesse Jackson et al.

I wish a pic of his new home (in a mostly white gated golf course community) would always be posted on Wright threads.

Anyway, he has declared that should Obama get elected, not only will he not shut up, he will take it upon himself to hold Obama “accountable.” Just like Flubba will be out there flapping his jaws about any Hildabeast administration.

Both these candidates offer nothing but sick drama to the nation.

“I have said before and I will repeat again that what some of the comments that Reverend Wright have made offend me and I understand why they’ve offended the American people,’ Obama told reporters ... “He does not speak for me. He does not speak for the campaign and so he may make statements in the future that don’t reflect my values or concerns.”

Why does this all sound so eerily familiar. The words are different but the meaning is the same. I know I've heard it. Hmmmm...?!?

Eureka, I think I've got it!

And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? And why is thy countenance fallen?

If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? And if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

Genesis 4 version of throwing a friend 'under the bus'. Which is what Barry's done to his 'mentor'.

"The man (Wright) clearly needs his meds. So why haven’t Democrats denounced him? Why hasn’t someone gone to Obama and said, “Look, pal, it’s time to put the ‘past’ in ‘pastor’ and dump this guy. You threw your own grandmother under the bus, so there’s room for Wright under there, too.”

"Because John McCain and other legislators worry that they are easily corrupted, there are legal limits to the monetary contributions that anyone can make to political candidates. There are, however, no limits to the rhetorical contributions that the Rev. Jeremiah Wright can make to McCain’s campaign.

"Because Wright is a gift determined to keep on giving, this question arises: Can persons opposed to Barack Obama’s candidacy justly make use of Wright’s invariably interesting interventions in the campaign? The answer is: Certainly, because Wright’s paranoias tell us something—exactly what remains to be explored—about his 20-year parishioner."

"With each new hate rant by Wright and the silence of Obama on the topic of Reverend Wright, Barack Obama seems to confirm his own moral obliviousness. Worse yet, he seems to have disdain for those who are troubled by his own unwillingness, to break with Wright.

On his new campaign plane, Obama said he has spoken with Wright in recent days and disputed any suggestion that he or his campaign have asked him to stay out of the limelight.

"I have talked to him," he said. "I haven't asked him to do anything."

Walter Williams: "For the nation and for black people, the first black president should be the caliber of a Jackie Robinson and Barack Obama is not. Barack Obama has charisma and charm but in terms of character, values and understanding, he is no Jackie Robinson. By now, many Americans have heard the racist and anti-American tirades of Obama's minister and spiritual counselor. There's no way that Obama could have been a 20-year member of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's church and not been aware of his statements."

Thomas Sowell: "It is painful to watch defenders of Barack Obama tying themselves into knots trying to evade the obvious. Some are saying that Senator Obama cannot be held responsible for what his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, said. In their version of events, Barack Obama just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time—and a bunch of mean-spirited people are trying to make something out of it."

Hussein Obama’s racist pseudo minister has turned the Dems' run for President into party's train wreck!

Devastatingly, Shelby Steele writes: “Obama has fellow-traveled with a hate-filled, anti-American black nationalism all his adult life, failing to stand and challenge an ideology that would have no place for his own (white) mother."

Just What Did Obama Know About Wright's Past Sermons? (Plenty)

“Barack Obama either agreed with what was preached from the Trinity pulpit, or he tuned it out and stayed around pretending to for political reasons. To say he stayed for 20 years but doesn't agree with Wright's preaching is incredible denial. It'd be like a man buying White Sox season tickets for 20 years, attending the games, and saying he's not a fan.”

Obama’s supporters want us to ignore this story… just push it under the rug. While they’ll align Republicans with any obscure pastor who does or says something controversial, they’re trying to convince us that Obama’s 20-year long close relationship with Wright, including his effective endorsement of him, his church and rhetoric with a $22,500 donation in 2006 is irrelevant.

“When Obama decided against wearing an American flag pin, we may all have been a bit too quick to accept his rationale, too quick to find that issue unimportant. Now, that American flag pin has gotten a lot bigger for a lot of us, especially in light of what may have been and may still be Obama’s deeper, and, perhaps, secret, less than patriotic beliefs about America.”

“Wright says that blacks can’t be expected to sing God Bless America because of racism. Obama doesn’t salute the flag during the National Anthem. That sure strikes me as an amazing coincidence since Obama swears he never heard Wright say anything against America.”

Here is the link to the Star Spangled Banner video with obama standing there without his hand over his heart...

Notice her ear ring!

The picture, which appeared on a U.S. Web site, showed the Illinois senator donning a Muslim elder's headdress and robes during a 2006 trip to Wajir in northeastern Kenya. Ahmed Sheikh Bahalow, a retired teacher and elder from ethnically (read Muslim) Somali Wajir, said his community was offended by the insinuation Obama had done anything wrong on his visit. "The Somali community and in particular those living in Kenya have never been that interested in America politics," Bahalow told Reuters in the central town of Isiolo. "But we are following it keenly now because we have been provoked." Wajir residents planned to demonstrate in the town after Friday prayers to show their support for Obama, he said. Those aren't Episcopalians praying on Friday.

I’m amused by how CNN is reacting to all this. On Sunday night, they were making him out to be a great guy. On Monday night, they were making him out to be a disaster. They had the rug pulled out from under them.

The liberal establishment is unravelling.

“Plagued by the ongoing uproar regarding Wright, Obama said Wright does not represent his views or vice versa. “

“I'm shocked, shocked to find hate mongering going on in my church”

“I'm disavowing the usual suspects”
