What is Obama so mad about?

B.O. really has nothing to be mad about; that he shouldn't have been mad about years ago! Yesterday, Rev Wright, just simply repeated the same things that he has been saying for years. Really there was nothing new in what he said, other than the comment about B.O. being a politician and doing what he has to do to get elected. Which was probably the most truthful thing he said.

Personally, it feels like Christmas and Rev Wright is the gift that keeps on giving!

I hope they put Rev Wright on every news channel in the country... twice.

The Wright Mansion

If you go back to a previous post I had about Trinity United Church of Christ, where Rev. Jeremiah Wright is the former pastor and Obama is a regular attender you should recall something that is part of the church's basic mission "Economic parity". If you don't understand PC terms, that means they believe in Marxism (basically). Rev Wright preached for years how people should avoid the ills of materialism.

But, Fox News did a little homework and found out that they Rev isn't TOTALLY against some materialism. Well, maybe that's not fair, does a $1.6 MILLION dollar home really count as a material possession?

According to the pastor's words on the web page:
"The fortunate who are among us combine forces with the less fortunate to become agents of change for God who is not pleased with America’s economic mal-distribution!"

I guess that's good news for the rest of the members of Trinity! Get in line guys! Who wants the next 10K square foot house?!

Of course there was a $10 million dollar line of credit opened up against the property too... hmm... is that the rest of his retirement package? Or just some really nice furniture for the house?

More video: Obama praising his friend...

Maybe Obama just sleeps through the sermons a lot.

Sounds like Rev. Wright is more of his adopted mentor (i.e. PASTOR) than he is his crazy uncle.

Obama the Ilusionist!

Obama is trying his best to say that he never heard Rev Wright saying the kinds of things that are all over the news and YOUTube. In fact it's racially divisive for the media even to be bringing these sermons up and playing them.

WHAT!?

Please, Senator, do we look THAT stupid!?

In the meantime Obama is trying to get everyone to watch the pocket watch as he quickly and quietly removes any remembrances of Rev Wright from things like his website. I love the internet age, where techno-geeks like the bloggers over at LittleGreenFootballs, keep this stuff around. Classic.

Obama's mentor

A great article today in the WSJOnline about Obama and his lack of denunciation of Jeremiah Wright and his audacious allegations. So far the ones that you can here on YOUtube, out of the man's own mouth include the following (but are not limited to):
- It's America's own fault that 9/11 happened
- America is racist
- God should condemn America (okay I cleaned up the language on this one)
- Luis Farrakhan is a great man (leader of the Nation of Islam who has said that white people are the skunks of the earth and repeatedly blatant anti-Semitic statements)
- America created AIDS
- The US of KKK A

The list goes on. I advise you to listen to the tapes, but I do warn you about the language.

Even IF Obama distances himself from Wright and his comments, which he has NOT done yet, how much credit does that get him? After all, he has been a close friend, mentor, pastor, sounding board and confidant to Obama for 20 years.

This isn't new information. This isn't something that came as a sudden revelation. He's been sitting and listening to this man and his racist hatred, of white people and of America, for 20 years. The fact is that Rev Wright and his racism is apart of who Obama is.

Do we really want someone with that perspective in the White House?

Jeremiah Wright (Obama's Pastor) and Racism

Jeremiah Wright has been the pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ for the past 36 years. You can read his bio from the church's website here.

I've mentioned before that the man is a racist. You can see a shining example of what I am talking about here as he 'preaches' from the pulpit of TUCC about how Obama is qualified because he's black and Hillary isn't. The IRS is currently investigating this same video to see if TUCC has violated their tax exempt status.

Obviously everyone at some point in time has associated with someone of questionable character. That's fine. Of course if you know that this person is a racist because you have been listening to him preach for OVER 20 YEARS, and you call him your spiritual mentor, and one of your most famous speeches and your second book, The Audacity of Hope was actually INSPIRED by this person. That' s a different story all together.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, racism is wrong, whatever color it takes or favors. You cannot sit back and say that it is okay, because he is just trying to encourage or reach out to those of African heritage. If the wording was reversed and you were talking about a presidential candidate who attended a "white" church who preached about and encouraged members to hold onto their Aryan roots and how a presidential candidate was inferior because they weren't white, would you consider them a racist?

What if they had associated themselves with this group for more than 20 years?

Would you consider that person a racist?

Would you consider that person for president?

Wouldn't it be racist to hold whites to one standard and blacks to another?

UPDATE: Another SHOCKING example of what I am talking about.
