Obama’s spiritual mentor Jeremiah Wright: God damn America
Today’s been a busy day at work for me, but in case y’all haven’t already seen the hateful bile spewing forth from Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama’s pastor and “spiritual mentor”, I wanted to make sure to post it.
In a brazen attempt at spin control, Obama said he doesn’t think his church is controversial. Is that just a lie, or does he really believe that everyone else thinks the way Rev. Wright does?
Q: I don’t know if you’ve seen it, but it’s all over the wire today (from an ABC News story), a statement that your pastor (the Rev. Jeremiah Wright of Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago’s South Side) made in a sermon in 2003 that instead of singing “God Bless America,” black people should sing a song essentially saying “God Damn America.”A: I haven’t seen the line. This is a pastor who is on the brink of retirement who in the past has made some controversial statements. I profoundly disagree with some of these statements.
Q: What about this particular statement?
A: Obviously, I disagree with that. Here is what happens when you just cherry-pick statements from a guy who had a 40-year career as a pastor. There are times when people say things that are just wrong. But I think it’s important to judge me on what I’ve said in the past and what I believe.
Sorry, Obama. You can’t have it both ways. If Wright is “like an old uncle” saying things with which you don’t agree, then you wouldn’t have him as your mentor. And you could have left the church years ago if he made outrageous statements with which you didn’t believe.
Which is more likely: that Obama is completely surprised by the victim rhetoric from his pastor, or that he and his wife agree with the politics and hate-America-first views of Rev. Wright and just don’t want to admit it now that his church is under closer scrutiny?
Judging by their recent statements, I’d say it’s the latter.
