I don't know if you ever read that article from the International Herald Tribune that followed Obama's canceling of the Wright invocation at his campaign announcement, but Wright did say somethings that could be construed as a warning to Obama, not to disavow him or his movement. I think that Wright could be angry with Obama for not running as an angry Black Man, for trying to transcend race. To Wright , the attempt to transcend race would be selling out. Read this article about how Obama came to join the Trinity congregation. Barack Obama on Meeting Mr. Wright

Thanks, that is my first initiation into Barry's prose.

The assumption here is that Barry and Uncle Jeremiah are on the same page. The MSM wants to show Barry in the most positive light possible which would be to accept Barry's public pronouncements of good will toward Wright. The right wing want to destroy Barry painting him with the same brush that they have Wright. But we have heard nothing from Wright and more importantly what we have not from Wright since the firestorm speaks volumes. Wright has Barry in a box. But what the media has not focused on is Oprah Winfrey. Oprah is a very very successful individual and that success came through some very very good judgement. Oprah left this church without a chirp. She was much smarter than Barry and saw the end game. She knew that only bad would come if she stayed. Oprah is a capitalist and a successful one, and maybe it was the Marxism rather than the hatred that sent her packing. But for whatever reason, Oprah has tefloned herself on this story.

She can have it either way she wants when the question finally comes to her. She can say, I left the church for whatever reason she wants to say, or she can give the answer that his swing supporters expected him to say. Oprah can say I heard some hateful things and it was very difficult but I had to leave the church. Oprah will never provide the last answer until such time that Barry is no longer a candidate for the nomination.

That is the way I see it. Wright by blackmailing Barry is even a more despicable individual that just the obvious sociopathic hater that he has shown himself to be. And Barry is NOT the hater that Wright is. He is in some ways even worse, he does not understand what Oprah does, and that is there is time to act, and if you do not, all will be lost. It is that Shakespeare thingy, there is tide in the affairs of men when taken leads on to fortune but omitted leads to complete failure. Sorry, I cannot quote Shakespeare from memory as I was once able to but it goes something like that.
