Of course, a modern day Christ would have simply referred to Judas as a "distraction".
Obama said he heard that Wright had given "a performance" and when he watched news accounts, he realized that it more than just a case of the former pastor defending himself.
"His comments were not only divisive and destructive, I believe they end up giving comfort to those who prey on hate," Obama said.
Newsflash, your majesty. Your pastor is the one who prays preys on hate and his flock are the ones offering him that comfort.
Nice projection though. I'm pretty sure if Jesus Christ had telephone pollsters that he would have decided to turn water into sparkling grape juice rather than demon wine.
But still, the Obamessiah back pedals in his condemnation for style points and not content:
"I think he felt vilified and attacked and I understand him wanting to defend himself," Obama said. "That may account for the change but the insensitivity and the outrageousness of the statements shocked me and surprised me."
Spoken like a man who is still going to need Wright's support to keep his Senate seat when he loses 40+ states. For a candidate with such a rapid reaction team, it took him taking a poll on Wright last night to decide on another foot dragging exercise in damage control.
Let's keep it real though, O-dawg. Your pastor was asked point blank at the National Press Club if he thought that Jesus Christ was the only way into heaven and he obfuscated (at 9:30 into the video). A professional Christian who doesn't believe in Christ and a Black Liberation Theologian Charlatan who retires to a 98% white gated community.
I guess nothing is more liberating than freeing yourself of the guilt of having to face all those black people whose money you stole after tossing them false scraps of salvation from your angry table.
Obama must have been in some kind of “Moral Coma” for the last 20 years.
He hasn’t actually been living in his life.
He’s been hallucinating through it.
Then again, if I were married to Michelle,
I’d take those hallucinations any day!
It’s interesting that Obama’s church’s website no longer claims Jesus was a poor black man opressed by rich whites. Is that an admission of falsehood in liberation theology?
