Sorry Roger, but Barrack is no coward. No coward–certainly no coward of color–could have come this far. Give Obama his due. He has courage aplenty. And great self-possession. And a graceful, if studied, Kennedyesque manner.
Obama hasn’t distanced himself from Wright because it isn’t possible. He and Wright both remember when Obama was a just a milky-chinned young comer looking for a political base.
By his own account, Obama listened to Wright’s taped rants to improve his public speaking. Obama used to sit in church taking written notes while Wright hollered. After twenty years on his knees kissing the ring, Obama can’t let go.
And Wright is a very real threat to Obama. Wright brags that he warned obama he’d be on Obama’s back the day after his election to make sure Obama doesn’t forget his commitment to the values they share. Obama knows that Wright is a loudmouthed slanderer who knows every intimate detail of the Obama Family’s life.
Black Liberation Theology is less religion than political ideology. Racist, pseudo-scientific ideology with a heavy emphasis on purportedly superior gentics and culture. Sound familiar? Black liberation Theology is Black National Socialism.
Obama’s dillemma with regard to Jeremiah Wright is that once faced by Adolf Hitler with regard to Erich Roehm of the SA. Roehm and the SA made Hitler. Roehm knew where all the bodies were buried. Hitler’s sexuality was no secret to Roehm and his brownshirt girlscouts of the SA.
Absent a Night of the Long Knives, Obama and Wright will remain joined at the hip. And a good thing, too. Spares the nation a Black Nazi coup d’etat.
