Has Rev.Wright’s 15 Minutes Of Fame Come At The Expense Of Obama’s Precidency?
Now that the commotion about Reverend Wright’s offensive sermons has passed, what is left for Obama.
I listened to Obama’s very eloquent speech about America’s racial problems. And it left me perplexed.
Listening to him speak of the racial problems we still face today and what to do about them, it’s a little hard to believe that a person who feels like this, attends the church of such a resentful pastor for 20 years, and does not have something in common with his thinking? You don’t go to listen to someone speak if you don’t agree with what he or she is saying, maybe once or twice, but not for 20 years. Even if, as he says, he is going there for religious and not political instruction, what kind of religious instruction can come from a man so full of hate as Reverend Wright? Now Obama says that the snippets of video of Reverend Wright does not tell the whole story about the man, but it does tell a story, a very disturbing one. What does it say about Obama’s thinking outside of polite conversation and of political rhetoric?
“Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are”, I don’t know where the saying comes from but that’s what my Grandmother used to tell us when we were growing up, so that we would understand that it was important whom we chose as our friends, because people will judge us by them. No man is an Island, and words do matter.
In his speech Obama talked about Black Churches, he said ” Black Churches are full of raucous laughter and sometimes body humor, they are full of dancing and clapping and screaming and shouting that may seem jarring to the untrained ear” but what seemed jarring to me was the hatred in the message and the offensive not humorous body gestures of Rev. Wright, even if he was talking about Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinski. A pastor, a leader in charge of the spiritual care of a congregation, has a huge responsibility, and it does not include inciting hatred.
The Reverend Al Sharpton, no stranger to hateful and outrageous speeches himself, says that “this church is a prominent church in Chicago with thousands of members and what goes on there is no different than what goes on in many other black churches…I don’t know about that, but if that’s true than the race war has a long way to go and these “so-called Pastors” have no business in the business of religion. If Churches are supposed to be inspirational, what are they inspiring, hate, more division?
If Obama is a part of this kind of extreme thinking than he has no business leading this country. He is a smooth talker, but I’m not sure that his speech on race, or his comments on the show ” The View” explained away his relationship with the Reverend Wright and his radical thinking. This is a tough one…
Has this matter with Obama’s Pastor changed your thinking about him?
Will it change your vote?

If it’s really true that he was listening to this guy for 20 years there is definitely something fishy in this. If this information is correct than it’s a little bit disappointing for me because - so far I was having completely different picture.

Look, this is what happens to people who are not scrutinized and the media gives them a pass. Obama has views that should scare one to death, but noone is paying attention to his policies. He is being pushed ahead by a very vociferous fringe left and a black community that will like to see a black man as the president. To paraphrase one of the pundits, if Obama was white he would have been laughed out of the race already. His views are extreme and not in line with the majority of Americans.
