Jeremiah Wright was White House guest

The recent coverage of Rev. Jeremiah Wright has often cast him as a marginal, almost fringe figure, but Trinity Church is a major Chicago institution, and Wright has long been a prominent pastor on the American scene.

And an anonymous blog set up to defend his church offers some compelling photographic evidence of this: A photograph of Wright and President Clinton, which it says was taken on September 11, 1998 -- the date of a White House gathering for religious leaders.

Hillary Clinton, according to her recently-released schedule for the day, was present at the gathering.

That's where Clinton reportedly told the assembled clerics, at the depth of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, that he had "repented."

As CNN reported at the time:

"I have been on quite a journey these last few weeks to get to the end of this, to the rock-bottom truth of where I am," Clinton said in his most emotional and dramatic statement since the affair with Lewinsky became public. "I don't think there is a fancy way to say that I have sinned."

Agreeing with his critics that he was not "contrite" enough during his initial Aug. 17 statement, Clinton said, "It is important to me that everybody who has been hurt know that the sorrow I feel is genuine. First and most important, my family, my friends, my staff, my cabinet, Monica Lewinsky and her family and the American people. I have asked all for their forgiveness."

"I love the hell out of ya' Bill."

Geeez! Touchy aren’t you. I was only asking because I wanted to know if that was who it was.

still...out of all the thousands of preachers to invite, why was HE chosen? someone who preachers hate for 20 years shouldn’t be getting invites to the white house for forgiveness.

I'm assuming he was chosen because his church is a prominent church and is fairly liberal. Being 1 out of 106 to a yearly prayer breakfast is an "honor". I guess he didn't buy Bill's speech asking for forgiveness, though.

Radical Preachers, just a another faction in the nest of vipers of the democrat party. Oh, Slick Willy sure knew he had to publically grease his future ability to withstand impeachment and continue his reckless, and negligent presidency. What better way than to be seen with one of the most prominent black pastors in America. Boosting his creds.

According to this political blog in the New York Times, Obama's campaign gave the photo to New York Times.

Marginal fringe figures for REAL Americans are typical Demagogue activists. The only reasons the Demagogic Party does not get completely annihilated in just about every election outside the large urban areas are (1) constant deception by the MSM and Demagogues about their socialist agenda, and (2) ineptitude, RINOism, and corruption by so many Republicans.

This country would never return more than 20-35% for the anti-American socialist Demagogues in most national and state elections if people understood the issues and agendas, and if Republicans could actually mount more consistently competent and conservative campaigns and govern that way once in office!!

I don't chances are slim, at all. I'm sure they were carefully chosen. 'Ya think he would have invited John Hagee? 'Ya think clinton was desiring truth or encouragement?

[pissant]

I’m sure they knew he was a lib activist. Doubtful they knew the full depth of the slimeball.

[unspun]

Typical White House, afraid of Jeremiah Wright....

"Obama joined the church to get those political connections. It had nothing to do with Jesus."

Jesus = ebonics for "political connections".

Just when I think the Dems have reached the Schardenfreude saturation point, some new bombshell is dropped.

There....fixed it....

LOL! re: “thank you so much for your kind message”

I guess “Reverend” Wright did not complain about Bill “ridin’ nasty” with Monica in that “kind message”......

Evidently Jeremiah Wright is the kind of person who can suck up to you and then turn around and rip you in public when it suits his purposes..... typical hypocritical leftist.
