I just found this:
In his 1993 memoir “Dreams from My Father,” Obama recounts in vivid detail his first meeting with Wright in 1985. The pastor warned the community activist that getting involved with Trinity might turn off other black clergy because of the church’s radical reputation.
It is from an article in the Chicago Trubune, January 2007. Notice he is called a community ACTIVIST, not organizer and he was well aware of how radical Wright was. Wright told him so himself.
LOL! It's a good thing I wasn't eating or drinking anything just now...I would've sprayed the monitor and keyboard.
As Joan Rivers would say. “It’s True”
Let us bury this turd in the litter box where he belongs.
I’ve been avoiding reading the book, but it sounds like Obama is closer to Wright’s Black Liberation Theology than he says in public. Could it be that his racist hatred has been hiding in plain sight in his autobiography all along?
Agree.....I sent that info to Hannity.
Why else would he go to that church and listen that hatemonger for twenty years?
He’s Al Sharpton without the Pompadour hairdo

Pretty much, all he’s missing is Michelle stuffed in the Hefty bags by “nazi’s”.
....BTW, Irish-German descent....
Would that he had stayed there, but I guess he didn't want to live in that mud hut with his brother George.
A liberal I know, when I said any curiosity I had about Obama ended when I heard Jeremiah Wright, said “Obama doesn’t believe that - he said so. Besides he left that church”. Liberals are so gullible.
Interesting point that the author makes - Obama is a racist and a hater with no good reason. It must have been Frank Davis who twisted his mind - but who knows - for whatever reason that’s BO’s comfort zone - hating whites.

The audacity of Obama
Obama had an internal race war - and he chose sides.
He is a step backwards in race relations. A step back to the times of the Black Panthers and Malcolm X.
Contrast Obama with Tiger Woods who is also multi-racial and did not choose sides, but stayed himself and proud of all his heritage.
Tiger had a good dad and apparently isn’t mad at anyone and everyone.
Isn’t there some syndrome wherein a child idolizes the parent who abandoned him and rejects the one he ends up with - thinking it’s the fault of the parent that the absent parent has gone?
I think you are correct that Obama’s path is woven with psychological trauma and the working through of his personal demons.
However, as Gov. Palin said, “”The American presidency is not supposed to be a journey of ‘personal discovery.’”
Yes, I thought that was very perceptive when she said it.
That’s something I’ve been trying to say myself.
The media trumpets Obama and Obama trumpets himself as black (African-American) when in fact he is of mixed race.
And compare Obama to Tiger Woods who is also of mixed race. Its a world of difference.
