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."

Is it just me, or does Jermiah Wright look a lot like a “typical white person?” (see brietbart)—also known as a TWP.

a nice dish of Breyer's Caramel Praline Crunch icecream at the moment..

Sounds great, but can we really endulge in that sort of thing every time the Dems slip up? We'd be as big as a house!

Enjoy your treat -- it sounds great.

So? Bill has been photographed with almost everybody in America. And for a donation to Hillary’s campaign, he will be photographed with you too.

What kind of ministers get invited to the White House when a liberal is President? What kind of ministers get invited to the White House when a conservative is President?

Therein lies the reason this is significant...not earth-shattering, but significant.

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.

Which is exactly the reason Obama picked that church and sucked up with this kook in the first place. He need him to move up in Chicago politics.

I don't think Obama is a Christian, a Muslim, or even a Marxist.

He's just another opportunist --- just like Hillary's husband.

People like him form their political 'personas' based on what it takes to succeed, not on any deeply held beliefs. IF Obama had to sound like Ron Paul to get elected, he would have done that too.

The wording of Mr. Clinton’s thank-you note to Mr. Wright, dated Oct. 28, 1998:
Dear Pastor Wright:
Thank you so much for your kind message.
I am touched by your prayers and by the many expressions of encouragement and support I have received from friends across our country.
You have my best wishes.
Sincerely,
Bill Clinton

Did he ask Bill if he was doing Hillary dirty?

Don’t forget that Jesse was spiritually consoling him about Monicatoo, or swapping telephone numbers.

Rev. Wright was one of 106 ministers selected for this annual prayer breakfast. Seems like that would make him more than just a "marginal, almost fringe figure". Prayer Breakfast Sways Ministers

still...out of all the thousands of preachers to invite, why was HE chosen? someone who preachers hate for 20 years shouldn’t be getting invites to the white house for forgiveness.
