Wright back in the news soon - not good

[ksoze]

Saw the clip from PBS interview airing tomorrow, he says "Obama is a politician and had to do what he does". The issue is back out front again and Obama's lack of clear denouncement will be tested again.

1. It is surprising that he would do this now, IMO

[Straight Shooter]

38. Not surprising. Some people thrive in the media limelight. n/t

[PBS Poll-435]

42. Or crave it...

[Straight Shooter]

43. Or cling to it ...

46. You guys got to stop talking about

5. No Wright is talking about Obama and his politics

all new material

I bet the SD's will love it

[Cali_Democrat]

9. The OP is beating the dead horse by feigning concern for Obama

[ksoze]

15. What concern?

Did you think the interview would just go away unnoticed? The horse is not dead, the reverend just gave him new life.

[QC]

48. If you hadn't posted this thread, the GOP would never have found out

about this interview!

Why did you have to let the cat out of the bag!

[GoldieAZ49]

55. the leaks around here!!!

to the GOP no less!!!

:rofl:

18. What's the deal with them anyway?

They just pop out of no where with such deep concerns.

[GoldieAZ49]

4. It is being covered on Hardball right now

Matthews: this is Obama's Iraq war

He never answered the question

[BeyondGeography]

7. What question?

[GoldieAZ49]

25. Why he stayed in that church for 20 yrs

One suggested he say it was because Michelle wanted to be there


:rofl:

[BeyondGeography]

28. He has answered it 1,000 times...Because the church does a lot of good

Go figure.

[LSparkle]

31. I attended a large church for many years whose senior pastor became

the Senate Chaplain while Bob Dole was Senate Majority Leader. Of the 5
ministers at this church, he was by FAR the most conservative. I didn't
really agree with many of his sermons (or his political views), but I
DID happen to like SEVERAL other ministers at the church, and so I remained
as a member. Like Obama, I took the church ON BALANCE and stayed because
of the good works they were doing in the community. When the senior
minister's sermons got a little too "fundie" for me, I figured out my weekly
budget on the church bulletin ... I don't find it unusual for someone to
stay with a large church even though ONE of its pastors might have been
"controversial" or someone they disagreed with.

[BeyondGeography]

33. It's a simple answer to a simple question

but our race-baiting MSM has a hard time accepting it, or perhaps even understanding it.

[Straight Shooter]

39. I think Rev. Wright's message resonated with Michelle moreso than with Obama.

Obama strikes me as a go-along-to-get-along kind of guy. Michelle, ehhh, not so much.

[GoldieAZ49]

47. Obama has more experience playing politics

Michelle, not so much

I doubt she would leave him alone until he agreed with her on any and everything, she has said as much

[Cali_Democrat]

14. Lets me get this straight.....

Bush launched a war in Iraq that...

-Killed over 4,000 US troops

-Injured tens of thousands of US troops

-Killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis

-Displaced millions of Iraqis

-Cost 3 trillion dollars

-Caused oil prices to spike


And this is somehow comparable to the Reverend Wright "scandal?"

Matthews is a tool

[GoldieAZ49]

26. It is being covered on the road to the white house

or war room or whatever they call this

[Cali_Democrat]

32. What's your opinion?

do you think the Wright "scandal" is comparable to the Iraq war?

[GoldieAZ49]

37. no

but it is enough to lose support, it lost mine

[BeyondGeography]

41. So Obama going to TUCC is worse than Hillary's vote for IWR?

Yeah, good one.

[endarkenment]

30. Flag lapel pin syndrome.

[bowens43]

6. an issue only for the brain dead......

[MattP]

8. This can't be good, even if it is a good interview it will be twisted

I'm sorry as much as I may feel that the Wright stuff is way overblown, this is only going to give fuel to the fire he should should keep himself off the air. Can't we learn anything from the other peoples scandals, you never see Republicans that have scandals interviewed during elections.

[LSparkle]

34. Been there, done that

People have "Wright fatigue" at this point. In retrospect, I think the ABC
debate helped tire us ALL of this issue.

[JuniperLea]

10. Why do people insist on blathering on when shutting up is the best thing to do?

Honestly! Does this man not have a clue?

[DesertFlower]

11. i saw it and i don't like it.

i'm afraid reverend wright will be obama's downfall.

Jesus H. Christ.

[SoCalDem]

12. Shame on Moyers for asking him.. That said, Moyers is the best person TO interview him

but sheez.. the bees have settled in a little..and now they're going to start whacking that beehive again :grr:

[Yes We Did]

13. I guess if you beat a dead horse you think you can make it come back to life to beat it some more

[IndependentDem]

16. Obama is preemptively swift-boating himself with this issue so that it is old news in the fall.

thats my initial reaction... but I'm usually wrong.

[ksoze]

20. Might have wanted to wait

until he actually had the nomination.

[IndependentDem]

21. true, but it was probably about to be brought back up in NC anyways...

this way it is on "his terms" so to speak.

[Barack_America]

17. I would be pissed if I were Obama.

Honestly, if one of my friends was going around suggesting I am disingenuous, that would be the end of that friendship.

But I'm sure that I'm more hotheaded than Obama is. So we'll see how he approaches this.

[LSparkle]

36. Realistically, though, Obama IS a politician ...

maybe a new kind, but ALL politicians "play politics." If they
didn't, they'd probably be shooting their mouths off about all sorts
of things ... Wright is just acknowledging that, as a candidate,
Obama has to do SOME things he may not like to do (like having
to repudiate a friend).

NO politician is 100% genuine -- all we can do is vote for the
one who's sold out the LEAST.

[burythehatchet]

19. I'm curious, what visual do people use when pastorbating?

[IndependentDem]

24. thats soo wrong.

:rofl:

[PBS Poll-435]

54. That's Private!

Oh...you said pastorbating. :blush::blush:

In that case...Sean Hannity in hot-pants? :shrug:

[Levgreee]

22. what is the context?

[backscatter712]

23. Thank you for your concern.

:eyes:

[kentuck]

27. "Obama is a politician and had to do what he does".

And he knows what Obama has to do? And Obama agrees with him? Or did Obama say this and the Reverend just repeated it? How many more times does Obama have to take responsibility for what this nut says? At some time or another, the guilt by association must stop.

[endarkenment]

29. OH NOES!

Thank you for sharing your serious concern over this very important issue.

[jenmito]

40. I think he just worded it wrong, since he prefaced it by saying HE (Wright) does what HE has to do.

[Emillereid]

49. I actually would like to see him all over TV. Apparently he's a wonderful man

and if the American people were properly introduced to him they might see how he has been trashed unnecessarily. I mean if he was good enough to be invited to give Bill Clinton spiritual counseling after Monica, then perhaps it's time to let the man speak for himself.

[GoldieAZ49]

53. I agree LOL!!! day and night! that would end the primary early

:rofl:

[EndElectoral]

51. With Moyers I trust it'll be revealing....also it's on PBS so no Repubs watch it

[jefferson_dem]

52. Thanks for your concern. Do you think he's screwn?
