Wright Flight? Will Wright Cause Whites To Run From Obama?
May 4, 2008
Reverend Jeremiah Wright forced Barack Obama into this position. Becoming a father figure to Obama (in the absence of Obama’s own father), Jeremiah Wright decided to do a despicable thing. Putting a young man that considered him a father figure into a difficult position by making comments detrimental to him, that young man gave his father figure the benefit of the doubt. After being cut that slack from Obama, Jeremiah Wright then proceeded to take that slack and attempt to hang Barack Obama with it for his own selfish reasons.
Jeremiah Wright is a proud man, apparently too proud to realize that everyone in his church does not have to agree with everything that he preaches from the pulpit. Indeed, sources that know Wright have made the point that Barack Obama’s speech which did not personally distance Obama from Wright, saying he could not divorce himself from Wright anymore than he could from his own grandmother, started the spat. Wright took this separation of Obama from his radical ideas as a personal insult and seems to have planned three straight speaking engagements in which that he could do the most damage to Barack Obama while doing the most for himself. As he was savaging Barack Obama, saying that Obama did not believe what he claimed to in his speeches and essentially calling Obama a liar. Real friends, real mentors and real pastors do not do such things to the members of their flock. They don’t attempt to embarrass them in public.
While Wright betrayed no emotion as he excoriated Obama on the national stage, Obama showed both sadness and anger that their relationship had to be this way. Sadly, I believe that Pastor Jeremiah Wright’s only prerogative is to transfer the good luck he had to have as one of his congregates the first legitimate black presidential candidate into a national audience for his pet sermons, his worst accusations about the government and the white race along with a healthy dose of the root of all evil: the love of money. Pastor Wright has mentioned more than a few times that he will have a book coming out later this year that will reveal his theological/racial ramblings in greater depth than his speeches have. One does have to credit Wright with something: at least he is upfront about his naked ambition by pushing his book in the middle of his speeches.
Rev. Jeremiah Wright represents, to me, what is wrong with this country. He is like the parent that takes their child to Hollywood with $$$ in their eyes and tries to cash in, not concerned with the welfare of the child in the process. Wright became close to a young man without a father, brought him into the Christian faith and then, when the opportunity arose, tried to sacrifice Obama’s career to boost his own with no regard for Obama’s wellbeing. Indeed, once Obama publicly caused any problems with Rev. Wright promoting himself, he declared war on Obama himself. Jeremiah Wright is not a man of God… he is a man of Jeremiah Wright. He is our for himself and himself alone. Wright is a predator, plain and simple, no better than any other man and unfit to return to the pulpit because of his attempted destruction of Obama’s candidacy which surely represents the principles of Christ more than Wright does by pursuing reconciliation among the races and a moving forward of this people as American, not -Americans. For that reason Barack Obama has cut his ties with Wright and that is why it is voters should cease listening to Wright.
