The Rev. Jeremiah Wright has delayed his scheduled visit to Macon’s St. Paul AME Church until after the November election. The controversial Chicago preacher — and former pastor of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama — had been scheduled to preach a fall revival next week at the east Macon church. He preached two sermons there last year.

Instead, Wright will lead a winter revival at St. Paul on Dec. 15-17, said the Rev. Ronald Slaughter, the church’s pastor. “Dr. Wright has canceled all October engagements (because of the election),” Slaughter said. “If not for the election, most people would not know him anyway.”

“God is on the side of the oppressed and, most importantly, is concerned about freeing the oppressed from whatever bondage might have them bound.”

Uh huh. If He’s so concerned about it, then why doesn’t He just do it? After all, He’s omnipotent and can do whatever He desires, right?

*crickets*

You have to admire ol' Jeremiah -- he never misses a chance to push Obama's buttons with a threatened appearance.

Wonder what the total price of his silence is up to now?

Not exactly -- the more hateful ranting Wright does publicly, the more he jeopardizes Obama by resurrecting the subject of the messiah's pastor. And those "hateful racists" will see him,  after the election. He's not going away, he's just laying low, for a price.

Meanwhile, he's extracting all he can from Obama's ill-gotten millions for his own cozy retirement nestegg. It's the Chicago way.
