Obama’s news conference concerning Rev. Wright

[admin]

It’s on NBC as I write this. My thoughts: In his sermon Wright felt he needed to make a point and he’s made it.

He needs to shut up already! There is a time and place for everything and this obviously wasn’t the time for Wright to dredge all this up to defend himself. He’s putting Obama between a rock and a hard place and he is severely hurting his campaign. It’s a shame. Obviously, Hillary is gloating right now.

Here's Peggy Noonan's (Reagan speech writer, everything is rosy) comment about Wright and America. OMG, sounds like a freakin liberal.

“This week I talked to a young man, an Irish-American to whom I said, "Am I wrong not to feel anger about Wright?" He more or less saw it as I do, but for a different reason, or from different experience. He said he figures Mr. Wright's followers delight in him the same way he delights in the Wolfe Tones, the Irish folk group named for the 18th-century leader condemned to death by the British occupying forces, as they say on their Web site. They sing songs about the Brits and how they subjugated the Irish and we'll rise up and trounce the bastards. My 20-year-old friend has lived a good life in America and is well aware that he is not an abused farmer in the fields holding secret Mass in defiance of the prohibitions of the English ruling class. His life has not been like that. Yet he enjoys the bitterness. He likes going to Wolfe Tones concerts raising his fist, thinking "Up the Rebels." It is good to feel that old ethnic religious solidarity, and that in part is what he is in search of, solidarity. And it's not so bad to take a little free-floating anger, apply it to politics, and express it in applause. He knows the dark days are over. He just enjoys remembering them even if he didn't experience them. His people did. I know exactly what he feels, for I felt the same when I was his age. And so what? It's just a way of saying, "I'm still loyal to our bitterness." Which is another way of saying, "I'm still loyal." I have a nice life, I'm American, I live far away, an Englishman has never hurt me, and yet I am still Irish. I can prove it. I can summon the old anger. Is this terrible? I don't think so. It's human and messy and warm-blooded, as a human would be. The thing is to not let your affiliation with bitterness govern you, so that you leave the Wolfe Tones concert and punch an Englishman in the nose. In this connection it can be noted there is no apparent record of people leaving a Wright sermon and punching anyone in the nose. Maybe they're in search of solidarity too. Maybe they're showing loyalty too."

Yes, the media has turned on Obama. I very interesting development. The powers that be have changed horses. Do not direct you anger at Wright, he is just being himself. Somebody is obviously playing to his ego and pushing him into the spotlight that he loves so much. Focus on the narrative created by the media, “Is Obama electable?” coupled with the constant reminding of america that Obama is black by showing his preacher over and over again. Obviously, a coordinated effort to bring him down.

I heard a snippet of one of Rev. Wright’s sermons that concerned women and I could not disagree with the content because it was factual. I wonder who is really behind this constant barrage about Wright. If Obama did not belong to a church would there be an uproar? Quick without checking the Internet, what is Clinton’s religion and what is McCains? Who cares? I want a problem solver that can deal with war, the economy, social ills and someone who is above all a futurist.
