Rev Wright

Clintons and McCains, Keep funding "Rev Right", and he'll ensure the end is near !!! Bush has preyed enough on american peoples ignorance now its time for someone else to take over.

Obama and the Rev. Wright Controversey

Enough already! We know Wright was Obama's minister, that he is an opportunist who has barged into the national spot light by hanging onto Obama's ankles and that Obama has severed ties with him.

Why are we giving him so much attention? Let's leave him to his rantings.

Obama cuts ties of controversy

This past week does not pass the "smell" test. Obama lost Pennsylvania primary big time. Media started asking tough questions where he had received pass before. I have suspicion we are being conned, since the 527 groups, media, researchers were starting to dig and bring uncomfortable details to the surface. Obama ahead with delegates, and leading in the polls and now playing "head" game. It was just too cozy for Jeremiah Wright to line up all those interviews over one weekend, and then to reject on following Tuesday, the very same items he had defended month before. Is this diversion? I think so. Obama used the voting laws to knock democratic opposition off the ballot, to be elected as Senator. By forcing his weaknesses to the front now, IF he gains vote of the super-delegates, he will have nullified points he knows Republicans will use and rightfully so. Voting "present" without taking a stand does not give resume you can campaign on, which is also a weakness. As unaffiliated voter I will not vote for someone so non-decisive, they vote present. I see this as a very daring, lawyer trick to divert attention or attack from his weaknesses.

What Motivates Rev Wright

Is there an ego issue here? Whether or not Obama is successful in his bid for the presidency, it seems to me that Rev. Wright does not do American politics or American race relations any favors by spewing unrealistic at the least and destructive and angry at worst, opinions, opinions that smack of an injured ego much more than moral outrage.

Obama - Wright issue

Why is there such silence about who put Wright up to this nonsense? Could he be amassing a large amount of money for his Church, from an annonymous source?
