Barack Obama Speaks About Rev. Wright

Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 10:57:29 am PDT

Barack Obama is giving a press conference right now, throwing Reverend Jeremiah Wright under the bus...

UPDATE at 4/29/08 11:27:09 am:

The bottom line: it’s simply unbelievable that he did not know about Wright’s views until yesterday.

To give just one example out of many: Wright traveled to Libya with Louis Farrakhan and met Muammar Gaddafi. Are we supposed to believe that Barack Obama never even heard of it?

Rev. Wright of the church of "Hate Whitey" may not be a patriot, but he has done us all a service by unmasking Obama. I feel so grateful; I may send him a fruit basket.

Rev. Wright is a hate-monger and a racist, and the presidential candidate and tyro senator who has named him a spiritual mentor is tarred with the same brush, and has been for 20 years.

I think I'll ask my geeky 13 yr old that question. He loves calculating things like that. We'll need to figure out how much road space there is, too, and how much time it takes to run over someone, how often you can use the same bus, cost of gasoline and maintenance, etc. etc.

The worst that can happen is that he'll tick off 14 Black voters who will now vote for McCain. I don't think this will end the Wright saga however. Hillary will have some fun with this. Every single word by Obama in this press conference is going though about a billion HEPA filters in his brain before it comes out his mouth. Bush almost looks articulate compared to this!
