Wright’s Revelation: Obama Is Just a Politician
The problem then becomes: Did Obama lie to Wright, or to the American people?
(Page 2 of 2)
That Obama could have been so close to Wright for two decades without having discovered that his friend and pastor held such outrageous beliefs is incredible. That is, it literally is not credible.
JEREMIAH WRIGHT HAS DONE Barack Obama great damage. He has exposed him as yet another lying politician. It isn’t that others have not done so before. I reported after seeing my very first Obama campaign event in New Hampshire more than a year ago that Obama was untruthful. Others have reported Obama’s spin and misleading statements in the past year. But most of us were conservative and white, and so we made no impact.
Now Obama’s own former pastor of two decades has acknowledged, then reiterated in case we didn’t get it the first few times, that Obama is a politician who lies to people in hope of getting their votes.
I am not an expert on the black church, but I believe the proper response to Rev. Wright’s revelation is, “Amen.”
