The wheels on the bus go "thump thump thump" over Rev. Wright.
Although he’s avoided it for weeks (“I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community.”), Obama finally did it: threw his pastor under the proverbial bus.
It’s been humorous today watching Barack Obama desperately attempt to distance himself from the venomous mentor he’s followed for the past 20 years. His “spiritual leader” harbors a deep hatred for America (and his wife publicly espouses several similar views): America is a “mean” country, our Marine Corps are like the Roman legionnaires who crucified Christ, the U.S. government secretly carried out the 9/11 attacks and engineered the AIDS virus to wipe out black people, the American flag stands for the same things as does Al Qaeda. This whole situation with Rev. Wright is an inadvertent glimpse at Obama’s judge of character. If Wright is the kind of friend and confidant that Barack has embraced for the past two decades, one can only imagine an Obama cabinet would look like.
It’s beyond disingenuous that he now claims that Rev. Wright “isn’t the person” he met 20 years ago. He’s attended that man’s church and sought that man’s counsel on a regular basis. For crying out loud, Wright was appointed to Obama’s African American Religious Leadership Committee just a few months ago!
It strains credibility to say he’s never heard Wright’s crackpot theology and conspiracy theories before this past weekend. Obama’s only denouncing Wright NOW because he’s become a serious liability to his campaign. It’s insulting that he thinks we’ll believe his dishonest excuses.
You’re right, Sen. Obama, when you describe Rev. Wright’s words as “appalling,” “ridiculous,” “divisive,” “destructive,” and “that’s enough.” But those descriptions apply equally to your candidacy.
