Obama Suddenly Outraged By Wright, Says His Pastor’s “Rants” Show Disrespect For Americans
Funny he didn’t have this reaction at any time in the last two decades while he was sitting in church listening to Wright rant about the American government creating HIV to kill off black people.
Barack Obama is holding a remarkable press conference right now about Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Obama is angry. Wright’s “rants,” he said, were “a show of disrespect to me,” and have created a “spectacle.”
“I felt as if there was a complete disregard for what the American people are going through and the need for them to rally together to solve these problems. It not is the time for us not to get distracted, now is the time for us to pull together.”
Here’s some video of Obama denouncing Wright:
And Obama saying that Wright “isn’t the person I met 20 years ago.”
I couldn’t possibly be less impressed. Obama is angry about Wright now?
Please.
Obama’s only angry because Wright has become inconvenient for his campaign. And Obama saying that Wright “isn’t the person” he met “20 years ago?” C’mon. According to Wikipedia:
In late 2007, Wright was appointed to Barack Obama’s African American Religious Leadership Committee…
If Wright isn’t the man Obama first met two decades ago, then why was Obama appointing him to committees just last year? Why did Obama give a speech at the 2004 convention that was named after one of Wright’s sermons? Why did Obama release a book with the same name as that speech, The Audacity of Hope, in 2006?
It seems to me that the only point in his life that Obama has been angered by Rev. Jeremiah “God Damn America” Wright is when Wrights “rants” (as Obama himself described them) became public and inconvenient for Obama’s political aspirations.
Meaning that Obama’s present denunciations of the person he once considered his spiritual leader and mentor are insincere, at best.
