What surprises me is how poorly Obama has answered the Wright problem. Especially, why he has remained in the church and kept his friendship with Pastor Wright intact.

Both he and his handlers are apparently unfamiliar with Evangelical churches and what their parishioners value and how they value.

It would be easy to script an answer; however, it probably would not be true, so I won't script it.

Their grievances go back a long way. I once saw a history book in the South that claimed blacks thought the Emancipation Proclamation meant they would never have to work again. Perhaps they were told this as propaganda by the North? It seems some of them believe it yet today.

The biggest grievance blacks seem to have is that they are here. Grievance-ridden blacks need their own relocation program - relocate them (at taxpayers’ expense) to the great, peace loving, harmonious continent of Africa.

This take is idiocy. The radical Dems are committing suicide in this election all by themselves because their arrogance made them blind to Obama’s skeletons. They also needed a candidate they could trust to destroy America, Hillary not being so trustworthy. Wright’s histrionics are not part of a conspiracy, they are the result of the engineered fake pride of radical black nationalism, afrocentrism, marxist nomenclatura elitism and desperation as time runs out on keeping the left’s many hidden agendas hidden.

This state of desperation does have a conspiratorial danger, however. It may also trigger the assassination of Obama to create race riots and make effective diplomacy/action against Iran’s nuclear weapon program much more difficult. Many fingers are in the election pie, not all of them working in concert.

BTW- Did anyone see Obama on Fox Sunday night? He fluffed a line and Freudian slipped the “s” word. It was priceless. Is the clip on YouTube yet?

why would Wright and Farrakhan promote Obama and then hang him out to dry?
For the same reason they are now trying to do him in.
To your ‘average’ joe blow on the street, it will look like it was whitey’s fault so Wright & friends win to preach their hate another day.

I mean’t to say for the same reason they promoted him—to cause him to lose later and blame whitey.

I’ve made that point a number of times. It sort of reminds me of “The Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe” when the priests, gurus and whatnot were all dead-set against the ultimate computer and the idea that it would come up with the answer to “Life, the Universe, Everything”.

Were that to happen, they would be out of a job.

Same thing here. It would be awfully hard for the Sharptoons, Jesse Jackasses and their numerous ilk to keep on dissing whitey and bitch about racism with a black man as President.

CHRESTOMATHY....I had to look it up.
While I disagree with most of the observations and conclusions of those posters, their grammar and literary abilities are refreshing when compared to the postings of the scatological mouth breathers at the Kos or Huff.

"Chicago power structure with the Clintons? And Wright’s part of that group?"

Smartest thing I have read all evening.
Wright is a big time supporter of the Clintons from way back. He was called to the WH to support Bill in the Monica disgrace.

He was used by the clintoons at this particular time because hillary must do well on May 6th or it is all over for her.

All I can say in reply is that you are right on the mark.
It is not just sad.... it is heartbreaking....I feel that this bright young man “hitched his horses to the wrong wangon.”

It's not sad or heartbreaking, but simply
revealing of Obama’s complete lack of judgment.

This “would be” leader would bury us if he engaged
muslim dictators as is his plans. Obama does not have
the capacity to lead. He should have left that church
years ago if he really felt the way he explained today.
But he didn't. Why?

A towering colossal green horn!
He's not black but green.

Also, the only way for Hillary to win AND keep the black vote for dems is to start a black on black fight between Obama and other blacks.

Expect to see "Rev" Wright showcased on pro-Hillary news shows and pro-Hillary MSM outlets.
