Jeremiah Wright was White House guest (‘Clinton White House’)
The Politico ^

Jeremiah Wright was White House guest

The recent coverage of Rev. Jeremiah Wright has often cast him as a marginal, almost fringe figure, but Trinity Church is a major Chicago institution, and Wright has long been a prominent pastor on the American scene.

And an anonymous blog set up to defend his church offers some compelling photographic evidence of this: A photograph of Wright and President Clinton, which it says was taken on September 11, 1998 -- the date of a White House gathering for religious leaders.

Hillary Clinton, according to her recently-released schedule for the day, was present at the gathering.

That's where Clinton reportedly told the assembled clerics, at the depth of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, that he had "repented."

As CNN reported at the time:

"I have been on quite a journey these last few weeks to get to the end of this, to the rock-bottom truth of where I am," Clinton said in his most emotional and dramatic statement since the affair with Lewinsky became public. "I don't think there is a fancy way to say that I have sinned."

Agreeing with his critics that he was not "contrite" enough during his initial Aug. 17 statement, Clinton said, "It is important to me that everybody who has been hurt know that the sorrow I feel is genuine. First and most important, my family, my friends, my staff, my cabinet, Monica Lewinsky and her family and the American people. I have asked all for their forgiveness."

I wonder what Rev. Jeremiah Wright had to say when the Clinton Lewinsky scandal broke. Was he a Clinton supporter?

Looks like a pretty big crowd there. Not sure this means much.

When Wright said that 9/11 was Americas fault, did he mean 2001 or 1998?

Clinton met Wright on a grip-and-greet. Obama attended church where Wright was giving sermons for 20 years, and routinely sought advice from him on major decisions. It would be accurate to say that Wright is Obama’s mentor.

“This is just fun to watch.”

Seriously! The party is imploding - Spitzer prostitutes, his replacement cheater/job getter, highly charged race issues, a radical pastor, clinton lies about Bosnia, Ireland peace negotiations, Obama/Rezko.

I mean really. If this was the GOP the press would be saying the party was dead.

Maybe Mr. Wright was speaking from personal experience, when he suggested that President B.J. Clinton was doing to Black folks what he did to Monica...

Ooh, good catch. I was trying to figure out if that’s Lauren Bacall sitting at the table.

Here’s hoping he didn’t wash that suit.
