He gave his speech for the press so that they would say what he wants them to say. But an informed public knows that he doesn’t mean any of it.
I think the number was 47,052.
Significantly, today’s line is that a majority of Congress quietly supports Obama. Interesting, when one observes they have been unable to accomplish almost anything. Maybe and infusion of Cialis.... Here’s yer’ sign, America - you voted ‘em in.
Read this from Michelle’s piece below- and listen to Hannity’s interview a year ago- (actually where Colmes is trying to bail Wright out)http://youtube.com/watch?v=aNTGRL0OJWQ at around 4:35 into the interview Wright begins using the phrases “subjective not objective” (as in blacks and whites being wired differently according to Wright) and “different not deficient” . These are phrases he developed further in his speech at the NAACP speech- clearly they are THEMES he’s used for years. I don’t bring this up as a smoking gun - but it illustrates a point made by Michelle’s clergy friend- this way of thinking and teaching is not NEW for Wright.
From Michelle’s piece:
...”A reader of mine who is a clergyman e-mailed after Obama’s press conference: “As a pastor, I have this take: It is inconceivable that Obama had no knowledge of Wright’s views after 20 years as a member of that church. As a pastor, my heart-held, deepest beliefs and passions cannot be silenced. It is what I am. If I were given a microphone at the National Press Club, I would not speak on something that I had guardedly kept secret for most of my life. No, I would go to my main point, the center of my ministry, the core of my passion, to speak truth as I know it to be. How can Obama actually claim that this is news from his pastor? His mailman, butcher or plumber? No problem. His pastor? No way!”...
