“Obama: I Am ‘Outraged’ and ‘Angered’ By Wright’s Comments”

Oh bullshit.

And not one MSM reporter will ever ask him, if he’s so outraged, why he continued to go his sermons for 2 decades.


Great! You took the words right out of my mouth (GULP).

Wright has made a despicable spectacle of himself and Obama had to do this - whether pre-planned or not. The hate and the lies being spewed by this ego-maniac needed to be called what they are. Funny, I think Wright has probably united a lot of left and right against him. I really don't think this was a set up - Wright is too narcissistic for that - but in the end it probably doesn't matter if it was a set up or not.

I think there are a lot more people who will never vote for Obama than will never vote for Hillary - therefore I hope Obama gets through this and now the guilt ridden whites have an excuse to not vote for him.

I'm thinking that Obama is pissed that Wright was so attention hungry that he couldn't lay low until after the election.

So now that he has FINALLY come out strongly condemning Wright's actions, it's time to move the focus to Ayres for a bit. I'm not saying that people should quit talking about Wright, but we can't allow Obama to make it seem like Wright is the only extremist he has associated with and that his association with Wright is inconsistent with his other actions.

After Ayres, pick another of his associates. If he's hanging out with those two there has got to be more.

Maybe. But even if you’re right, it’s a gamble of the first order.

The only reason millions of white people have voted for Obama thus far is that he truly seemed like the post-racial candidate, as if he had nothing in common with the racist race-baiters such as Sharpton and Jackson.

If he truly throws Wright under the bus, that actually will be a good day for America. Obama will have to sink or swim without the racists. And I believe his outrage at being called, essentially, a “puppet” by Wright (”He was only saying what politicians say; he’ll be dancing to my tune when he’s in the White House”) is very real. Obama knows very well if he were to ever show any more evidence that he’s (as Wright implied) Wright’s “boy,” his national political career is over.

I don’t think Obama would take that chance. If he manages to escape out of this one, I think he will have learned his lesson: don’t pick up a snake and think you can put it in your pocket without it biting you.

His ONLY chance now is to go to full disowning of Wright. And if Wright comes out swinging, then Obama has no chance but to go to full-scale war with him.

That might end up being good for the country. Someone like Obama is the only guy who (at least at this moment in history) can take these guys out. And I for one hopes he does it.

It may not save him politically this time around (obviously I don’t want him to win in November), but it may help our country and for that I’d be grateful. If Obama has the hormones to really fight back at these racists and say what needs to be said, I’d give him great credit for that.

I laughed for about thirty seconds straight when Reverend Wright disparaged Cheney’s lack of military service and snapped a salute. I think this guy would be a more entertaining president than any of those jokers running.

It may give Obama some cover on the Wright issue, but it also gives him a great vulnerability. Many believe in what Wright says-—that’s how he got enough money to build that new million dollar home in an all-white golf course community in Chicago this year. Whether they will chose Wright et al. or Obama remains to be seen.

Obama didn’t want to risk losing the Wright-follower support previously. Now he has no choice.

I don’t know. The pull of becoming a famous national racist leader might be immense to someone like Wright. He was certainly feeling full of himself at that presser yesterday.

I find NOTHING “entertaining” about an anti-American racist...and he shames the memory of every United States Marine who ever wore the uniform honorably.

Too late, Hussein. You had the opportunity WEEKS ago to do this and now it will look exactly like what it is; a statement released more for political purposes than for personal beliefs.

Barack Obama, declaring “that’s enough,” denounced Tuesday as “appalling” and “ridiculous” comments made in the last few days by his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.

“Why are you all missing this?”

because it's bull...

Obama joined this “church” because it was politically expedient and stayed in the “church” because it was politically expedient...
little did he realize that this “reverend” and his racist, anti-American “sermons” would come back some day to bite Obama right in the butt!

Now that's what “we get!”

Because that's all there is...nothing more, nothing less, grasshopper. LOL

Whether premeditated or not, not many people will be deceived by this that do not want to be deceived. Everyone will know that Obama knew that he had made a mistake by not denouncing him when the controversy started and now he does it for political expediency.

HE’S outraged? How does he think WE feel?? If he can’t properly vet his own pastor, how can he run the WH?
