If I take Obama at his word...
JEFFHEAD.COM | 29 April 2008 | Jeff Head

Posted on 04/29/2008 12:22:46 PM PDT by Jeff Head

Today, Barack Hussein Obama indicated that he could indeed disown his long standing Uncle Wright...even though just a few weeks ago he said he could never do that.

Even though it stretches credibility to think that after 20+ years and so much close history together...after all, it was Obama who called Wright his mentor and spiritual advisor...that Obama could not have really "known" the real Jeremiah Wright, let's take him at his word that he did not.

My questions then are simple.

If, after 20+ years of a close relationship where it was clear to everyone else who Jeremiah Wright was, if after that long you so terribly misjudged the man...then please tell me Mr. Obama, who else have you misjudged so completely?

Who on your campaign staff? Who of your contributors? Who amongst your other close associates and friends?

More telling yet, Mr. Obama, Who will you so wholly misjudge in the future?

What leaders of nations? What members of your cabinet? What Judges you nominate?

The list could go on and on.

At this point I pray to God in Heaven that we will never have to find out the answer.

I think Uncle Jeremiah will fill in some background. Which is to say, the hate mongering demagogue will indicate what in fact Barry did hear and when he heard it.

Agreed. He lied to us then and he's lying to us now. All Obama has been selling the American people to date is snake oil. And they've discovered the snakes he's surrounded himself with and they don't like it very much. Or else Obama wouldn't have been forced to repudiate Jeremiah Wright.

Obama joined Wright’s church to get political connections and hoped the radical nature of the Pastor would not become a big issue. It did.

Oh, he’ll reply. That attack by Obama was too personal. He could have framed it about “old ideas” but he attacked Wright personally. Comments about Wright like not being the same man twenty years ago were way over the line.

I hope he does...and with a vengence. That will tell us whether this whole thing was orchestrated or not. If Jeremiah now goes away relatively quietly...then dollars to doughnuts it was all rigged for this very purpose.

If, OTOH, Wright comes back out swinging hard...then things just get worse and worse for the Obamanation.

This then is the left's agent of change? Change indeed...change America into a radical left, marxist People's Republic from hell.

That was it from the start and Obama is indeed himself radical, un-American and an out and out, in your face liar IMHO.

He would have the whole nation going through the same types of carrying on that are marking his campaign.

Heads up!

This is a well-calculated ruse.

Did you hear the code words of Rev, Wrong: that obamama needs to say “whatever he needs to get elected”

That is the permission he is giving obmama – to say whatever he must to get elected.
They’ve hatched a plan: the Rev. Wrong comes out and makes it abundantly clear that he’s an outrageous, American hating racist. Then obamama will come out and ‘condemn’ him = wink-wink = thus putting daylight between him and the Rev.

BUT, it’s not a question of does obamama agree with the Rev, Wrong – condemn him all he wants. He STILL remains committed to the church. THAT is where attention now needs to be turned. What does the church espouse?

Let’s get the website out = the church espouses

http://www.tucc.org/about.htm

“We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain “true to our native land,” Africa.

We must ask: “Is that why you don’t salute the American flag?”

We must ask: “Is that why you have stated your goal of rebuilding Africa?”

We must ask: “As you going to rebuild Africa with our tax money saved from your other goal of dismantling the military?”

Now is the golden opportunity to connect obamama with the church he has stated his continued allegiance too. It’s more than his long friendship with the pastor – it’s the stated tenets of his church which he still clings to.

Let’s point this out to Hannity, Rush et al – Let’s not let this golden egg slip away.

Now with Big Al claiming that a perfectly legitimate statement that violence is unacceptable in response to a judicial verdict is “dancing with the white folk,” it’s clear that NO BLACK PERSON who is not of the Wright/Sharpton/Jackson ilk will be allowed, by the “BLACK” community, to go far in politics.

Face it, Obama: You are too white for the “black” leaders. They’re the racists and you are the victim of racism.

Hussain is a second story man, OK I was lying then but I swear this is the gospel truth! Not only does the Rev represent the views of H. but unfortunately the views of a large portion of the African American Community.

If Obama hadn't egregiously blundered with his statement about his grandmother and his comments about "typical white people" and bitter small town Americans, I think I would actually be inclined to take him at his word.

However, when you factor in those off the cuff statements, as well as his associations with such characters as Bill Ayers, it's clear that this persona he's crafted as a postracial unifier is rubbish. The man is simply a very smooth and polished liar.

If Uncle Jeremiah does goes away quietly, the MSM worship of Obama will reach new heights. I tend to think he will not. The orchestration here was all Wright’s, I have said from the beginning that it was the crazy man who told his minions in the church, sell Whitey the damn DVDs and let the world see some real preaching.

If this works for Wright look for them to pull the same scam for Ayers too.

Obama didn’t throw anyone under the bus.

That's the point. Even if it is a ruse...his goose is cooked. He is admitting to so terribly misjudging his mentor that the natural question would be who else has he misjudged? Who else will he misjudge?

Use his own words, his own best case against him.

Note also that Obama is outraged only after Wright said some unflattering things about Obama. Apparently, the fact that Wright spews anti-American venom does not prompt Obama to disown him. But if Wright says a few unflattering things about Obama.... Well, Obama is “outraged.”

Yes, it would get worse and worse for Obama, but maybe better and better for the nation.

Maybe at last we will have a discussion, by Obama, on what racism *really* is and how the racism of Wright/Sharpton/Jackson are keeping him and most of the black community down.

These race-baiters are deliberately sabotaging Obama’s chances at the nomination and the White House. Then they will blame whitey for the fact that a black man wasn’t elected.

Good catch and good point.

I tend to think that the entire thing is a drastic fire control exercise...but it is fatally flawed in any case.

This speaks to Obama's judgement and he just told all of America that his judgement is monumentally flawed.

"“We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain “true to our native land,” Africa."

Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. Col 3:11 I don't care if they want to rebuild Africa, more power to them. But this self-imposed sense of segregation as if (other than demographically) the black church is somehow different from the "white" church is absurd. We are either in the body of Christ or we are not. We may have differences in emphasis and we may have some doctrinal differences. But a black Christian is a Christian as are red ones and yellow ones and white ones and what ever color. Reverend Wright would appear to divide the body of Christ for his own benefit.

As to Hillary...she is going to be viewed as stealing the nomination (if indeed she can) from the presumptive Black Messiah and therefore will lose huge segments of her requisite rainbow coalition and go down in flames herself.

Now...that response was for your comments if they were serious. If they were sarcastic, which I suspect, then my response is simple: hehehe!

There's no positive way out for Obama. The image of the new, fresh voice promoting unity and eschewing political calculation and insincerity is gone, for good.

But the legions will still flock to him - the ones that secretly (or not so secretly) support the elitist and anti-American tone occasionally peeking out of the the campaign.

At least Obama never said “macaca,” though. (Extreme sarcasm!)

Which is precisely why McCain will not miss this opportunity to miss this opportunity.

He'll attack any Republican who dares pick this thing up more viciously than he ever attacked a Ted Kennedy liberal. Ask the folks in NC.
