Campaign disses Obama's pastor (what are the odds this is all pure political theater?)
Chicago Tribune ^ | March 6, 2007

Posted on 04/29/2008 6:34:41 PM PDT by GodGunsGuts

When Barack Obama met Rev. Jeremiah Wright in 1985, the pastor warned the young community organizer that he might want to distance himself from such a rabble-rouser. Obama didn't listen. Until now.

If you asked me, this is all planned and choreographed. As referenced above, Rev. Wright long ago gave B. Hussein Obama the green light to distance himself or otherwise “throw him under the bus” should it ever become necessary. This is pure theater designed to immunize B. Hussein Obama in the general, when the temperature will most assuredly be turned up by conservative 527-types (as opposed to "reluctant" RINOs like McCain).

I don't think Wright's sacrificing himself. Or at least, I think he's getting more of a sacrificing than he bargained for. My favorite writer said this.

exactly , it was staged series of events meant to get Obama black drones fired up in NC and Ind ! Now Obama can say I have put the issue to rest. His boyfriend Chrissie at MSDNC is already parroting the new Obama talking points.

You say it'd political theater directed by O'Bambino, I say it's a Macchiavelian plot by Bubba, who is now running Hitlery's campaign from behind the scenes.

LAWTON: Wright says he warned Obama at the beginning of his career that their relationship could have negative ramifications.

Rev. WRIGHT: They're going to associate your name with mine, and that could be detrimental, I told him back then. It holds just as true, even more so, now.

--------

Mr. Wright, who has long prided himself on criticizing the establishment, said he knew that he may not play well in Mr. Obama’s audition for the ultimate establishment job.

“If Barack gets past the primary, he might have to publicly distance himself from me,” Mr. Wright said with a shrug. “I said it to Barack personally, and he said yeah, that might have to happen.”

Pretty darned good. Hollywood and Democrats have been tied at the hips for many years.

At least that’s what he’s hoping for!

You bet it is. What a con job. All of a sudden, after twenty years, after letting his children listen to this hate-monger, Obama is angry with Wright? Sure.

The only way I'll believe this hasn't been planned, that Wright and Obama are really at odds, is if Wright comes out with a bombshell about Obama that further damages his campaign. Otherwise, I smell scummy political theater.

It may very well be political theatre but I am trying to think of the target audience. It would have to be someone who was for Obama initially, then came the Wright scandal and they decided against Obama, now with this theatre going on are saying “hmmmmm, I guess Obama is ok after all he doesn’t really go for that Wright stuff.

This then would be the moron vote he is going after.

No way, libs aren't near that smart. This is just another perfect example of liberal insanity. They're so far gone over there even the freaking Clintons almost look reasonable.
