Jeremiah Wright Foreign Policy
American Spectator ^ | June 26, 2009 | Mark Hyman

Posted on 06/27/2009 8:05:30 AM PDT by greyfoxx39

Anyone familiar with the views of Barack Obama's pastor of twenty years might wonder if Reverend Jeremiah Wright is the chief inspiration behind the president's foreign policy.

-SNIP-

Obama has apologized for Guantanamo Bay; for alleged mistakes committed by the CIA; for U.S. policy in the Americas; for America's history of slavery; for "sacrificing [American] values;" for "hasty decisions" in the war on terror; for "America's standing in the world;" for American errors in foreign policy; for U.S. relations with the Muslim world; and for American "arrogance," being "dismissive, [and] even derisive" toward U.S. allies. One gets the sense Obama is far from finished.

-SNIP-

In contrast to his deference to anti-American leaders such as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, and Daniel Ortega, Obama has strong-armed Benjamin Netanyahu on key Israeli matters.

-SNIP-

Years ago, Wright and Obama helped organize participation in the 1995 march on Washington led by the deeply anti-Semitic Louis Farrakhan. In his remarks, the Nation of Islam leader accused former President George H. W. Bush of "buck-dancing in a yarmulke for the Jews."

-SNIP-

It is understandable that after sitting through 20 years of sermons delivered by the pastor Barack Obama considered his spiritual mentor that Jeremiah Wright's politics would heavily influence Obama's worldview of the U.S. and Israel. It is unfortunate that they do.

I haven't seen any announcement of the new church the Obama family has chosen...nor even updates of what Sunday services they are presently attending...seems like six months should be time enough to make this decision.

He’s been preparing us for ‘a conversion to Islam’ announcement. (We know he’s been a muzzie all along)

0 is waiting for the National Cathedral to be torn down so they can build a mosque there.

“Don’t meddle in Iran’s affairs, just Israel’s” seems to be one major tenet.

You know Hussein is not one to make hasty decisions or to even decide at all sometimes. Must of his history is a "no comment" of sorts, simply voting Present when he voted. Look how long it took him to select a dog for the kids. (However, like Clinton, I think he had no interest in the dog and only got one for appearance sake.)

I think the church decision is like the dog - he will only select one for appearance sake if at all.

By the way, I am certain that Trinity Church lost its tax exempt status for all that political talk, right? Maybe not.
