Wright Confidante: He Didn’t Intend to Hurt Obama

More psychoanalysis on Wright trying to explain him away.
What we need is analysis of Obama, deep analysis.
Obama’s chickens are coming home to roost.
Obama is not who he says he is.

Wow, this story is fascinating. I didnt think the media could top the shark attack frenzy of summer 2001 but they’ve actually gone and done it.
Kudos! You’ve outdone yourselves on the fake news angle.

Nothing I’ve seen/heard over the last few days changes my mind. I’ve contributed again to Obama’s campaign just minutes ago. Now, McCain’s acceptance of the endorsement by Hagee — that’s something that needs analysis.

Nothing will change Obama’s (aka Soetoro’s) capture of the democratic nomination. He’ll win and Hillary will join his team and all her followers will quickly fall in line as the rhetoric again. The rhetoric that paints McCain as satan will get under way and all the Clinton supporters will be knocking on doors to promote Obama.
Obama (aka Soetoro) has the delegates. Resistance is futile! Hillary supports: Start the process of conversion to the new left democratic party and forget your silly notions of moderation.

hang…I agree, I have donated in the last two days twice…I care about how he will change the gas prices, the health care crisis, the economy…but you know, the media cannot get passed this junk and onto the real issues.

Of course Wright didn’t mean to hurt Obama. This whole escapade was a set up by David Axelrod and the Obama campaign so Obama could “denounce” Wright to get the blue collar white votes without alienating his black voters. Of course other pastors will come to Wright’s defense. Obama continues on his campaign of politics of hoodwinking and bamboozling.

RS… that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Why would Obama do that… it doesn’t make any sense at all! The whole Rev Wright thing was starting to blow over. Stop with the conspiracy theories… they are lame.

I am tired of the whole thing. Obama did what he had to do, The Rev Wright did what he thought he had to do. Publicly they have to part the ways, probably tough on both of them.
This of course will still leave many people on these blogs ranting much as the Rev Wright did, when he felt unjustly attacked.
Again Obama is not prone to pander, he shoots straight, and is willing to pay the price. If it is enougfh for the public, it is up to them.

rs, You hit the nail on the head! This whole thing was a charade. The GOP is running Wright ads against the Democratic down ticket candidates and Mr. Hope HAD TO DISTANCE HIMSELF FROM UNCLE JEREMIAH or the Super Delegates would jump ship. Too bad it’s not going to work. The damage is done. The Wright videos are on You Tube and the GOP will use them against Democrats every chance they get. Watch the down ticket races in Georgia and Mississippi. The Wright “G-d Da** America!” ads are running there against our Dem candidates. IF they lose, it will be because of the Rev. Wright ads. Pay close attention to those races….the SDs are!. The GOP are using the Rev. Wright hate speech in many states. Mr. Hope may try to distance himself from the Rev., but the GOP has a different plan. THE DAMAGAE HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE. It’s too late, Mr. Hope.

WOW!!! He(Obama) is good, along with his campaign managers. I have to admit, I didn’t see this one coming. Rev Wright hasn’t been heard from in weeks. Why now? Get it over with before the general election? I doubt Wright will show up before the Indiana primary, if at all. His job completed? Here’s the new opening “needed” for Obama to disclaim Wright. I don’t buy any of it. JMO

jg: at first I did feel that Wright and Obama has a spat but honestly after a day of hearing this nonsense I am getting the same line of thinking that this was just one big con, a game put on by the Obama camp to help his numbers and to pretend that he is done with Wright.
They must be all laughing in some back room somewhere at how stupid we all are.

Shame on this Wright guy!
He is such a selfish, self-centred egotist!
He is an abomination to the Christian faith.
Why give this phony reverend air time?
Ship him off to Al Qaeda!

Obama supporters: HEY! STOP blaming Hillary or McCAin or anyone else for the actions of WRight and Obama. This is ALL their fault. They are a humilation to the dem party, a disgrace to America. THIS IS ALL WRIGHT AND OBAMA. It is absurd and offensive that you would even mention Hillary’s name while discussing these two. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND STOP BLAMING OTHERS FOR THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO YOU? WHEN WILL YOU ACCEPT THAT OBAMA WILL DIVIDE AMERICA???

i cannot believe he would denounce his pastor after 20 years!!! he only did it for political reasons: i will not vote for him

matt, Obama HAD TO DISTANCE HIMSELF FROM WRIGHT because the GOP are running Rev. Wright hate speech ads against our down ticket Democrats in Georgia and Mississippi and TRIED to run them in NC, but the local NC TeeVee stations refused to run them. Wright and Obama are a HUGE albatross around the Democratic Party’s neck! Pandora’s Box has been opened and there’s no stopping the GOP now.
This entire Wright/Obama fiasco was pure theatrics/CHARADE because Obama must distance himself from Wright or the Super Delegates will start to jump on Hillary’s ship if the down ticket Dems in Mississippi and Georgia lose because of the Wright ads being run against them. It’s all so transparent and of course, Obama’s MSM are all in REHAB OBAMA MODE. Pathetic.

Did you get your education at an ivy league school? You obvious in-depth knowledge of what’s really important and your flawless use of the English language is truly remarkable.

If Clinton had never been born, Obama would have won and the party would be united. It’s unfair that she was born. She was so selfish for being born. I hate her. She is a greedy woman who was born and is trying to be president. Why? We have a first viable black candidate. You don’t need to be president just because you were born. Obama was born, but he was born without sin, in a manger, with swaddling clothes. Clinton was born in a hospital. That’s not fair! Now that she was born, she is acting like the White House is hers. Well, I think we should elect this smart man, who is the first viable black candidate. And please stop thinking that race has anything to do with my support for him. It doesn’t. And I would vote for a woman, but not one who is so powerful, agressive, dominating to men, who is always showing how smart she is, who thinks she deserves to be president, and who will not leave when men tell her too. Just not this woman……
[how many people won't get it?]

Do Obamites realize that this kind of “distraction” is exactly the stuff that you guys have been using to villify the Clintons? When you talk about “politics as usual,” “Clinton scandals,” untrustworthiness, blah blah blah you are really just buying in to the notion that the Ken Starr and Repub investigations found anything other than a covered up affair. is that really enough to say that Clinton’s entire make up is vile? That H. Clinton’s is as well? You guys are just getting a healthy dose of KARMA.

A….THINK AGAIN. THIS LIFELONG DEMOCRAT will NEVER vote for Mr. Hope. I’m writing in Hillary’s name on my ballot should he steal the nomination by not counting the FL and MI votes.
Thankfully, I won’t have to do that because Hillary will be the nominee. Then YOU can “go merrily along on the ride.”

Bull Turkey, our good man Rev Wright tried and it fell!

You know, it always seems that when any point is made in response to a charge on Obama, people throw the “ignorant” word…maybe you need to learn tolerace…

catcall. Don’t call me ignorant. Hagee is a Texas preacher. McCain is a Senator from ARIZONA. He does NOT attend Hagee’s church. How stupid can one group of people be? Obamaroids never cease to amaze me, but keep on talkin’. Your ignorance makes for a great laugh.

The dems destroy themselves again.
There seems to be some sort of massive defect with people who lean left. They prefer wishful thinking to facts and continue to believe in pretty lies even when the ugly truth smacks them in the face.
This never would have happened if the left had an ounce of common sense. You don’t nominate a person to the presidency without vetting them first.. duh. Now Obama and his ugly baggage is finally coming to light but they are too far down the path of destruction they have chosen for themselves.
Dems would rather die believing a lie than ever admit they are too inept to accomplish anyting.

It’s just a mathematical fact.
Hillary has 0 chance of catching up in pledged delegates and is starting to slip even in super-delegates.
So we have a choice, destroy Obama so the Clintons can try to reclaim their ‘dynasty’ in 2012, or we unify now and reverse the republican policies that are killing this country day by day. Besides Americans hate dynasties/royalty.
My view is that we cannot wait another day to ensure a democratic victory. Way too much is at stake.

Sandy…yes Obama has been living with rejudeous all his life…has Hillary? No she has been floating along on her merry way…living her “elite” life on her grandfathers cottage in Scanton…shooting at cans. I bet Obama’s family couldn’t afford a cottage on a lake.

It is 100% OBama’s fault that
this garbage is on TV and the
newspapers and Internet. His
irresponsibility , recklessness
and lieing is HIGHLY, highLY, HIGHLY
OFFENSIVE. i HONESTLY CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH
BAD THINGS ABOUT THE GUY!

If Obama (aka Soetoro) wins the nomination, the result is a very left-wing party that will have abdicated its moderate principles. Why would Hillary supporters compromise their principles and join such a transformed party?

The ineptitude of the DNC is staggering. And the far left of the democratic party is even more radical and crazier than any blue collar, small towner, typical white person, bitter gun and religion clinging person could ever believe. The superdelegates and the DNC need to stand up to moveonorg. and the black base and say “it’s time to act like grown-ups now.” The Obama campaign is becoming a farce and damaging the chances of any other black candidate of ever having a viable chance at the presidency. It seems the far left would rather die a humiliating death, than see Hillary as the first woman president. It’s too bad, because if this nomination process has shown anything, it’s shown that Hillary has the “right stuff” for democrats.
GO HILLARY 08!

oBAMA’S COME AND go. I’ve seen it
many times! Hillary Clinton however
is the a true committed and
capable public servant
and deserves our support.
Vote Hillary 08!

I am right with tony today-I am battle worn. thanks tony for holding up the fort of decency,moderation, and right thinking today.
Maybe tomorrow I will be able to join
the conversation again.
tony, I read your comment, about all of a sudden obama supporters want to talk about healthcare, affordabe healthcare etc., Sen. Clinton and her supporters have tried to keep the focus on this all along-But Mr. Uniter and his distractions keep getting in the way.
I think the main person who wants to keep up this conversation about race is obama, this is what I believe is his strong side. Sen. Clinton is the strongest when it comes to dealing with our issues.
as a african american supporter of Sen. clinton, i must say,
just as i do not like the fact that
obama supporters have tried to make sen. clinton supporters as sellout and not having any black pride. Which is wrong-black supporters of sen. clinton have a right to vote for her since we feel she is the better to run this country.
I do not agree with the black people who are dividing over obama snd wright.
black people: obama is not running against rev. wright.
I am african american proud supporter of Sen. Clinton and:
I want and know sen. clinton will beat obama on is lack of experience, he lack of understanding how to navigate the political landscape in dc. (if he won and got to dc, and started trying to change dc-nothing but nothing will get done for the american people who sent him there)
msm-get out of the tank for obama-start doing your job-help obama get off this distraction of wright. encourage him to debate sen. clinton.
Sen. clinton will defeat obama in the way that any candidate should be defeated
on the issues.
Tony, I hope you ARE a supporter of sen. clinton.

A:
Overall, liberal policies work.
Social Security, Medicare, environmental protections, food safety, unemployment insurance, work safety, banned child labor, civil rights, G.I. bill, workers compensation, equal rights, minimum wage, collective bargaining, progressive taxation, and there’s more.
If there was a Liberal President, we wouldn’t have invaded Iraq or deregulated the financial industry. In other words, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

I will say,
if obama said he did not hear the bad stuff we are hearing now.
he only heard wright preach good sermons.
Where are these good sermons-so we can hear some of what obama did hear.

The immaturity of Mr. Obama is
simply appalling….

Excuse me have you ever been to the church? Have you heard the 20 plus years of sermons that the Rev Wright made? You people amaze me with your rock throwing, bigot attitudes. How dare you have warped opinion when our brothers and sisters (black and white) are giving up their lives and limps for your *** to sit at a computer and voice your prejudice opinion. You people are gonna soon start a race riot that will be the biggest ever in history, because of misguided white people like yourself. The world is looking at us and shaking their heads because of our hypocrital attitude. Obama is the best thing that could ever happen us, but because America has once again show it’s ***, we will probably live in fear and hated around the world because of all the ignorance still in our country. this is starting to **** me off that a black man can be judged by assocation, but a white man/woman can destoy our country for self gain and be overlooked…we should be ashamed of ourselves as Americans…

Checkers, preachers crying after being caught in cheap motels. prayer tower sitting, lust in my heart, did not have sex with that woman, just a few from my lifetime. I am sure that there are many more.
What I would rather focus on though are the Billy Grahm, Teddy Rosevelt, Truman, Romeny, Ford kind of lives that
move through politics without the self serving issues. I hope that there are many more of them.

The similarities of wright and obama
in terms of arrogance, inability
to tell the truth or respect the
american people, is VERY TELLING!!!!
also no normal person dumps a loved one
after 3 speeches on national television…

there is nothing wrong with harold ford jr. he is increasing his political resume’-(he has bad family ties-but I think he took care of that) but he would be a good candidate coming up the ranks-and he will only get better.
by the time we are finished with this obama stuff-people will be reluctant to accept hfjr. but he would be a good one.

Belle Starr are you one of the uneducated and unemployed voting for Hillary. You seem to have a lot of time to post here

I feel sorry for people who have
fallen for Obama’s scam….
But after the investigation maybe
you will get your money back…

patrick,
this is the real jgaw,
and I do not know what you are SHOUTING AT ME ABOUT-i have not commented about any of the stuff you just wrote.
go back and read the comments.
list the time and date I posted whatever it is you are SHOUTING about.
so I can go back and read it too.

i did find out today from a british friend of mine that obama has a step mother living in london.
the bbc interviewed her.
I told my friend-as far as i know we in the american public have never heard of her.
and my friend said-after hearing her
it is understandable why obama would not want her in the forefront.
but he has visted them-he was there for a family wedding. so there is a relationship of some sort.
but our msm-nothing about his part of his family.

      “Argument: Wright’s appearance at the Press Club may
      have been the most personally and purely self-centered
      act by a public figure in the political arena since…etc.”
Nah, actually a fairly petty and mundane self-centered act.  Just highly public.

pp,
GREAT POST and what an UNBELIEVABLE list! Do you mind if I save the list to share?
Thanks so much for posting it!

The truth is, the Clintons were responsible for NAFTA, and while Hill can say “I was secretly against it back then,” the reality is, it was the signature of the Clinton years. And it was her own campaign head, Harold Ickes, who as part of the DNC rules committee, stripped FL and MI of their seats. She agreed with him until she started losing, and she’s trying to spin the fact that she wouldn’t allow people who had voted GOP in the first MI vote to vote Dem in the revote as promoting a legitimate revote, when it’s not b/c a lot of people knowing the original wouldn’t count had switched over. And when people talk baggage, it’s funny- Bill was almost impeached, Hill is being arraigned in a few months (not someone she knows but she herself)in the Paul v Clinton case, objects were stolen by the Clintons from the White House when they left, documents went missing, Hill obtained a criminal pardon for her brother’s criminal friends, Vince Foster was murdered, Monica, Jennifer- the list goes on. It’s just that Obama wanted to keep it clean so he didn’t mention any of these, but the reality is nobody has more baggage and shadiness than the Clintons. The Clintons had even bombed Iraq, if anybody cares to remember. It was not a rainbow and unicorns peaceful time. Even Hill’s claim to be active in the administration was proven false by the records; she started out strong, but when her health care efforts failed, she became another tea and tourist first lady. People even forget her outrageous lies and her constant smearing with the absurd excuse of preparing Obama for Republicans, as if that were her job. A former governor’s wife and then the president’s wife, Hill has 100 million dollars in her pocket and grew up well-off, to become a member of the head board of anti-Union Walmart- yet she pretends now to have any semblance of connection to grassroots America. From moving to NY, a state she never lived in, to take advantage of an easy election that would put a big state in her hand come 08, to her episodes of tears, to her whining about speaking first in debates and her willingness to put McCain above Obama, Hill has shown that she has been planning a long time for the throne that was her birthright. The only reason that the 90s was prosperous was because there was a computer, internet and technology boom which is now over. Even the concept of a president’s wife now becoming president is inherently ridiculous- it smacks of royalty. Now, her campaign, badly managed, is in debt, and she’s had to fire 3 top campaign strategists. She didn’t even bother to read the Iraq intelligence reports when she voted to send our boys to war. There is simply, absolutely nothing that would make her qualified.

Well, it looks like nobody’s discussing the assignment, which is a puzzling one — sort of suggesting that Jeremiah Wright is to Obama as Monica Lewinsky was to Wild Bill Clinton. Perhaps not an outstandingly felicitous suggestion.
Who delivers Obama’s pizza? Maybe we should be discussing THAT?

@ middle of the road…
Harold Ford, Jr. has been very well respected. Unfortunately, I don’t think our bigoted country will be ready to elect him as he recently married his blonde white fiance a few weeks ago.

Do you know the RNC has purchased half-million dollars worth of ads so far featuring the Rev. Wright and democratic candidates from all over the country. Not only will Obama not win but many good democrats around the country will not win.

The lack of evidence on the side of Hillary supporters is just amazing.
Besides just suggesting that Obama may be this way or may be that way because he knew a person, do you have any evidence that he is this way or that way?
Bring it on. Real rvidence, not just repeating your BS.

Getting back to the assignment question, it looks like Wright’s press club and NAACP performances were engineered by Obama’s handler David Axelrod, given the fact of the public relations firm and all that.
So it doesn’t appear that Wright’s excursions into the nitty-gritty are “personally and purely self-centered act[s] by a public figure in the political arena”, unless the public figure is Axelbama.
Where’s Alice Palmer? Tomorrow for that, maybe?

How about the Peter Paul trial. Alice Palmer who?

Accompanied by the corporate weasels, some of them pretending to be the “left”.

The truth is we don’t know either Obama and his pastor are playing to get white voters back or something else.
Obama just made a mistake not to denounce his pastor six weeks ago but he did it yesterday because he thought Wright offended him not to white people.

Belle Starr,
I think so. That doesn’t make sense at all why it’s so sudden this pastor showed up 3 days in the rows.
They are afraid he is loosing the white votes because it’s been all over media he can’t embrace them.
This is just a dirty conspiracy between them.
I hope voters are smart to fifure it out.

Well, let’s hope a truth team rolls out on Thursday: Alice Palmer, Wright, and Jesse Jackson, maybe. Maybe joined by Tom Hayden’s “pacifist wife” … certainly SOMEthing’s up (and nobody’s posting, also peculiar).
As far as figuring it out, anybody who watched Brother Divine’s talk yesterday presumably knows not to vote for HIM, but the disinformation’s so deep it’s discouraging.

It really is amazing how there appearsto be so many self proclaimed show casing political cases in this election soap opera.We have the media piranha feeding frenzy after the mudsling kitchen sink strategy brainstorming group allegedly set up Reverend Jeremiah Wright to step into the limelight for fifteen minutes of fame so that they allegedly could slice and dice soundbites and put them on those forty-five to seventy two second soundbite loops packaged for the alleged targeted couch potatoe gulluble public so that polls could be manipulated up or down.
Those polls sometimes get it wrong and all these ping pong mind games qoting percentages and figures to dazzle and frazzle the minds of the voting public ain’t going to work this time.
The streetwise man in the know says the word is on the street that to all intents and purposes the media have got the word from who knows where to wreck Barack cause Barak is on a roll.
All this talk of this and that and fireside chitchat and coffee drinking talk about the Obama/Wright association is just going to dry up.
American’s don’t like being taken for a ride. The media circus is over. People want to get serious and talk about serious issues. Things that matter. Bread and butter issues. American’s are tired of who said what. There sure is something more real to talk about.
Can there be timeout on all this ? The election is not about Obama and his associates. Surely there are real substantial issues that need to be addressed like the rising cost of fuels,alternative energy sources, global food crisis, housing crisis, banking crisis, pension crisis, tax rebates,world peace, global warming and climate change, desertification,pollution,ozone layer,agriculture, poverty,hunger, empty food shelves in Africa etc etc etc.
Barak is just living the American dream. What is wrong with that? Why do we like broken dreams more than fulfilled dreams/ Let the dream live on. Hope is a good thing there is nothing wrong with hope. Peace to all and goodwill to all men . Errol Smythe.

the story doesn’t deserve this amount of ethernet or whatever.
I think it’s just a ploy for attention… to keep B O in the spotlight while erasing his need to get in trouble proposing something important like A SOLUTION… or at least a SUGGESTION about how to ease some of this country’s problems.
But NOPE..
It’s all about B O.
Poor baby….

MidWestIowa, it’s clear you’re EXACTLY the same as you were when you were in college. Yep, didn’t let any of that education affect you one little bit, did you? YOu were determined to leatn absolutely nothing, and that’s exactly what you did. No change. Not now, not never. Just stay stuck right in your little rut.

Rev. Wright and his church has had the same beliefs for 20 years and Senator Obama knew exactly what those beliefs were. Senator Obama and his wife must believe that most Americans are fools.
Vote NO to Obama. He is the FOOL.

I think the base for Obama and the base for Hillary is pretty firmly set….at 50% each….although the Wright controversy did change some minds (buyers remorse) of those that have already voted.
All in all it’s the Republicans leaning Democrats and the Independents that will be impacted…almost every state has about 10% undecided and since the Wright contoversy these have been going for Hillary.
It should have already had an impact…in TX PA and Oh….I’m thinking that Obama’s lead in independents and those that previously voted Republican has shrunk as voters get to know him.
Crossover appeal slowly dwindling…

Some wise person said, “When life gives you a lemon make lemonade”. The only way for Obama now is up. Watch the press for details!!!!!.Errol Smythe.

Rev. Wright knew damn well he was going to hurt Obama. He’s an angry delusional man, but he also knows *something* about politics. It is both sad and ironic that Rev. Wright’s legacy might be that he destroyed the hopes of millions of black Americans.

No, Hillary Clinton’s entire campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination wins the top prize, hands down, for “…the most personally and purely self-centered act by a public figure in the political arena.”
