I just e-mailed the Obama campaign with this...
"It's highly likely that the reason Barack never heard Wright's outragious tirades in church is because Wright always knew when Obama would be in attendance, and he (Wright) consciously tempered his oratory accordingly.

Someone in Barack's campaign must make this point!!!"

1. I'm sorry, but how does that make sense?

9. Thank you for the honest question. It makes sense that Wright (in Omama's early stages)...
...would have put his best foot forward & shielded Barack from what he (Wright) knew would be intolerable to the forward looking Obama.

Call me naive; but I've seen & experienced this kind of thing in more than one relationship.

21. It also makes sense that Wright (feeling like a narcissistic surrogate father) wants to...
...eclipse his shining "student," while he (Wright) knows he's on the deep end of his mid-life crisis.

2. Do you really believe this?
Do you believe that a man who led a chuch of 8,000 people changed his sermons and syle for 16 years when one man--Obama--was in a pew?

Another question. Do you really believe that Obama was unaware of what his pastor preached?

6. I'll bet they run that church like PBS, and the really BIG donors, who give thousands each year,
get the gift boxed set of Jeremiah's Greatest Hits that is/was available for sale at the church Gift Shop.

Your thesis is the opposite of highly likely. He knew Wright was a problem before he announced his candidacy. That's why he "disinvited" Wright to the ceremony. That's why Wright gave an interview to the NYT that everyone glossed over. That's why Wright's resentment has been building.

"Not knowing" is not an excuse--it's a problem for him. He can't credibly claim it.

16. It's common knowledge that Obama knew that Wright was a liability going in...
...but there's now way to know that Barack was present in church when Wright launched into his infamous rants.

14. Alright, what would be the reason, the motivation, for Wright to do this for 20 years?
Now are you laughing?

17. Another Hillary supporter
who doesn't know who our REAL opponent is. Hillary always says 'my opponent', 'my opponent'. I just want to crash her party and ask her if she's talking about McCain or Obama, because 98% of the time she's talking about Obama.

23. And just what does that have to do with the OP?
NOTHING, so it is irrelevant to this discussion thread.

Thanks for playing. :hi:

28. For God's sake man - make your own arguments!...
Edited on Wed Apr-30-08 05:26 AM by Indi Guy
Any fool can simply post links...

I support Obama -- why do you?

(I support Barack's vision of the change to where America can & should be -- today and tomorrow.)

Please argue with your own words (pro or con).
