On an appearance on Sean Hannity’s radio show on Monday, “The Amateur” author Edward Klein revealed the name of a close ally of President Barack Obama that his book alleges offered a $150,000 bribe to Rev. Jeremiah Wright to be quiet until after the 2008 election.
“Well, what happened is that after ABC’s Brian Ross broadcast the video tapes of the Rev. Wright ‘God damning America’ and slamming whites and slamming Jews and America, he was contacted by one of Obama’s closest personal friends — a guy who travels on Obama’s plane, who plays basketball with him, who goes on vacation with him,” Klein said. “His name is Dr. Eric Whitaker. Dr. Whitaker is the vice president of the University of Chicago Medical Center and he’s a member of Obama’s very tight inner circle. And he sent an email to a member of the Trinity United Church of Christ.”
Klein reminded listeners that Whitaker’s hospital is the same one that paid first lady Michelle Obama $316,962 a year to handle community affairs for the University of Chicago Medical Center while her husband served in the U.S. Senate.
In an email, Klein said Whitaker had offered Wright $150,000 “if he would shut-up and not criticize Obama anymore.” When Wright refused Whitaker’s offer, Klein said Obama himself personally met with Wright, which supposedly took place after Obama’s March 18, 2008 “race speech,” confirmed by both Wright’s word and the U.S. Secret Service logs.

Someone’s gonna end up like Breitbart....
The last line of the article is the most curious of all.
Interesting indeed!
Is the Obama charade unraveling? I hope so. He need sto not only be out of office, he needs to be in jail for the destruction he has done.
Chicago is no different than ever. It still loses.
Gee....this isn’t by-chance the same Eric Whitaker, is it? Nah, that would be too much of a coinky-dink, wouldn’t it?
“The Department of Health and Human Services last week announced it had awarded a $5.9 million grant to a University of Chicago Medical Center program tied to Michelle Obama and run by Eric Whitaker, one of President Obama’s closest friends.”
Thanks Nachum.
I would love to hear that tape.

Yep, smells like ‘quid pro quo’ to me too.
As I recall, Wright also built a big, expensive house. I’m sure the two events are not related, though.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
This is more important than just the story--if it is true that a highly connected physician at UChi really did this, and it needs to be thoroughly researched--this could change the game.
Wright was preaching Marxism more than Christianity.
Not enough room; that space is used for vetting Romney's high school years.
Well, at least until the records are sealed, destroyed, and the investigators personally attacked.
