Wright Blames 'Them Jews'

From David Squires at the Hampton (VA.) Daily Press:

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright says he does not feel any regrets over his severed relationship with President Barack Obama, a former member of the Chicago church in which Wright was the longtime pastor.

Wright also said that he had not spoken to his former church member since Obama became president, implying that the White House won't allow Obama to talk to him. He did not indicate whether he had tried to reach Obama.

"Regret for what... that the media went back five, seven, 10 years and spent $4,000 buying 20 years worth of sermons to hear what I've been preaching for 20 years?

"Regret for preaching like I've been preaching for 50 years? Absolutely none," Wright said.

Wright said that when he went to the polls, he did not hold any grudge against Obama.

"Of course I voted for him; he's my son. I'm proud of him," Wright said.

"I've got five biological kids. They all make mistakes and bad choices. I haven't stopped loving any of them.

"He made mistakes. He made bad choices. I've got kids who listen to their friends. He listened to those around him. I did not disown him."

Asked if he had spoken to the president, Wright said: "Them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office. ...

"They will not let him to talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is. ... I said from the beginning: He's a politician; I'm a pastor. He's got to do what politicians do."

Wright also said Obama should have sent a U.S. delegation to the World Conference on Racism held recently in Geneva, Switzerland, but that the president did not do so for fear of offending Jews and Israel.

"Ethnic cleansing is going on in Gaza. Ethnic cleansing (by) the Zionist is a sin and a crime against humanity, and they don't want Barack talking like that because that's anti-Israel," Wright said.

Wright is in Hampton this week attending Hampton University's 95th Annual Ministers Conference. The son of a pastor, Wright said he has attended the conference since he was a child – though he was not spotted at the conference in 2008 during the heat of the debate over comments he made that many in the media branded racially divisive.

So now the whole truth emerges: The man who calls President Obama "my son" is nothing but a Jew-hating demagogue.

Which means that Obama spent more than 20 years in a "church" run by and under the tutelage of a hate-filled anti Semite. And Obama brought his young daughters to hear this man speak and "learn" from him. And Obama called him a "guide, a friend" and "mentor" and praised him lavishly.

Cogitate on this. Take some time with it. Consider the ramifications. Let it all sink in.

Fight Is On!

It was inevitable.
Even before you begin to criticize Obama he cries "Smear!"
And he's been doing it for a long time.
Obama wails like a baby whenever you try to ask about Ayers or Rezko or Pfleger or Wright or Walsh or any of the many questionable characters and activities in Obama's past.
He doesn't answer. He doesn't explain.
He simply name calls and cries "Foul!"
It's preemptive, calculated, sneaky and hypocritical.
Here's my message to Obama & Co: All's fair in love and war. And politics ain't love.
When you question John McCain's stability and his health; when you mock his success; when you demean his accomplishments and belittle his Democrat friends; when you go after his wife and his home and you question his intelligence and lampoon his age, you better be ready to answer a few questions yourself.
Because you've already been in the mud yourself.
So, get used to it.
This fight is on.

The Debate

Not a good night for the OH!man.
The entire first FORTY FIVE MINUTES of the debate were about things that Obama does not like to talk about: the flag lapel pin, William Ayers, The Rev. Not-So-wRight, the "bitter" comments, guns, religion, patriotism. Obama fumbled while trying to deal with these matters to such an extent that at one point he said he had "disowned" Rev. Wright. Called on this by "Georgie Boy" Stephanopoulos, the OH!man quickly backtracked and said he "disowned" Wright's comments. And the hair-splitting continued as Obama tried to have it both ways on the flag issue and then professed his patriotism by saying "I could not help but love this country." Wow - what a ringing endorsement that was for America!
Then, even when the debate turned to foreign affairs Obama was once again put on the defensive when he had to reassure Americans that he actually supports Israel.
Here's the way Obama works: If it's an issue he can't handle or doesn't want to talk about he declares that it's extraneous - some kind of petty "trick" that we shouldn't be talking about. But all of these quirks, all of these associations, all of the questionable characters that he surrounds himself with, all of the bad syntax and instances of misspeak go to his judgment. And that's the real issues here: his judgment - or obvious lack thereof.
In the end the sense deepens that Obama is stubborn and insecure.
