Reverend Wright, in his most recent press tour, has said nothing new, only expounded on his past hate speech. I believe what got Obama so fired up and angry this time is the fact that Wright referred to him as a typical politician for denouncing Wright’s prior statements, saying what politicians need to say to get elected. Now, and only now does Obama find him so distasteful that he finds the need to distance himself from this man.
My feeling about Obama is that he is calculating, weak, and of poor judgement. He is calculating in that he chose that church for political gain, weak because he knew what that man was saying and chose to act ignorant of it – weak and calculating because when confronted with Wright’s hate speech, rather than separating himself from the man and the black liberation ideology, he chose the path of least resistance, admonishing Wright but at the same time defending him, so as to not offend his black voters. He has shown poor judgment for all of the above. He simply cannot and should not be the leader of our country.
