Obama must have learned to deliver speeches from Rev. Wright. |
|
In 1972, Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. took over as head of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
With his charismatic preaching style the church grew from 87 members in 1972 to about 10,000 today, the largest church in UCC.
Today Obama delivers speeches with a style reminiscent of sermons delivered by great Black preachers like MLK, Wright, et al.
Obama says he joined Wright’s congregation over 20 years ago and he’s a Christian. It’s interesting to see millions of people today respond to Obama’s speeches/sermons like a church congregation eager to donate when the offering plate is passed and faithful to the belief God will fulfill all the preacher’s promises if they just have faith in God.
There’s one major difference between sermons by a preacher and speeches by a presidential candidate, Wright preaches faith in God but Obama preaches faith in Obama.
Perhaps faith is the answer to our nation’s economic, health care, foreign policy, etc. problems that threaten us.
As a hedge against faith not working if Obama becomes president, maybe the Dem party should store a large supply of Kool-Aid like Jim Jones did at Jonestown.

4. The audacity of hope line was Wrights tag-line, Obama "borrowed it" |
|
Republicans will use this Wright association big-time.
Wright has been described fairly or unfairly as a radical Christian Black separatist. He went to visit Qaddafi with Farrakhan during our trouble with Libya.
It is another smear job waiting to explode.
Rezko, this, stock deals Obama made concerning a few companies he passed legislation for...the list grows.
