I feel a little like Saturday Night Live and that part of Weekend Update when Amy and Seth give a current piece of news or statement by a person and then exclaim, “Really!?” I am a little in shock over the recent news, spin and media coverage of Obama and the Pastor. Can you imagine what MSNBC would be calling HC under such circumstances. “Hypocrite” and “Liar” come to mind quickly but not with the “Messiah”. BO did not go in front of a room of reporters like John Mc Cain and answer their questions, but chose to deliver his remarks on "race" by reading a prepared speech from teleprompters. It may have been an award winning performance and the media along with BO’s invited spinsters certainly loved it. Well, I want to look at those words….those important words not from the Pastor but from Obama, the presidential candidate.
He went on CNN. MSNBC, FOX and PBS over the weekend and on each one, he repudiated and rejected the devisive remarks made by his pastor but denied, yes DENIED ever hearing those words himself nor did he have any knowledge of those words until the media brought them to light this past week. No one believed him given that the Pastor was disinvited from his announcement last year of his presidential run. Why? --- if BO knew nothing about this Pastor’s vitriolic, anti-american speeches. Why not let him be a part of this important announcement? After all, Wright has been his pastor and spiritual advisor for over twenty years. And then, when the hate-filled sermons surfaced, only a spokesman responded deploring such words from any campaign, implying a comparison to G. Ferraro. Really!!!
When that didn’t work, the BO issued a written repudiation which didn’t work either and so we get the speech and the followup spin from all his supporters who were given time in every media outlet to rave about the courage of their candidate. Courage? This is a man who did not have the courage or the judgment to get up from the pew and leave the church when he first heard such horrible words. And then in that speech on race in America, he told us he LIED but no one noticed his confession because he said it so quickly and very quietly. His supporters continue to say BO never heard the speeches before. Go ahead. Check the speech on any web site anywhere and you will see his admission. BO sat right there in that church Sunday after Sunday listening to his Pastor “God D--- America.”
Now listen or read his “race speech” again and what BO does NOT say. He will not repudiate the man, only his words but then he says white Americans cannot understand how AA feel and that if he repudiates his Pastor, he would be repudiating his entire race. Really!!? Does this mean as a white person I cannot disown David Dukes, the man, only his remarks or I will be disowning the entire white race? What about Hitler? Think about what is being said, not how beautifully he says it. Isn’t he the new politician with integrity, character and judgement??? Please---do not allow this charade to continue because the Republicans will not for sure.
BP knew his pastor would be a problem and so did his chief architect, David Axelrod. They played a game with the people…..hide the truth and see how far can we get before we have to deal with it?? Credibility? Trust?? Now, that is up to the voters and it will be interesting to see what happens with the remaining 11 primares. Thank you Hillary for not being steamrolled into withdrawing…..just think, we could be dealing with Rev Wright in Sept rather than now. Shame on you BO first for deceiving the thousands of young people looking to you for a new day and maybe even more impoatant, shame on you for not getting up out of that pew the first time you heard such hate coming from the pulpit of your church. Oprah did---oh I wonder how she feels now. ”He is the One.” Oprah said. Really!!!!
One final comment----Did anyone actually see the speech or a rerun? If so, what is it about the BIG American flags surrounding BO as he spoke from his prepared text…(count them—SIX) three large American flags on each side…It is the purest example of “wrapping yourself in the American Flag I have ever seen (particularly from a Democrat) and he won’t even wear one on his lapel…Really!!!
