BARACK OBAMA'S HYPOCRISY

Yesterday in answer to the celebrity tour that began during the weekend by Jeremiah Wright, Democrat candidate Barack Obam said that he was,"appalled and outraged , " at the performance by his former pastor during his visit to the NAACP and the National Press Club.

During both performances Wright stated that the , "attacks, " against him were not toward him but the black church and he re-emphasised statements that he has made in the past claiming that The United States worked with Al Qaeda to bring about 9/11 and our government created the AIDS virus to kill blacks.

So my first question about appalled and outraged Barack Obama is where was he when these statements were first made and the press was covering them during the past several weeks ? Wasn't it during this time that the Illinois Senator was stating that Wright was his mentor and friend and though he may disagree with some of what the controversial pastor says he could no more, "disown, " him than he could his grandmother ?

During and interview on Fox News with Chris Wallace last weekend Obama still followed that same line when questioned about Wright and again claimed to disagree with some of the statements but that he considered Wright a friend and would not disown him.

Then as the controversy over Wright blossomed more with his visits to the NAACP and the National Press Club and the polls began to show that Wright's association with Obama was hurting the Senator and even many liberal pundits began saying that Obama was NOT electable because of it, the hypocritical politician now claims that Wright is, "not the man he knew twenty years ago."

Yet this man he knew twenty years ago is no different today than he was last week when Obama stood with his friend. So which is it Barack ? Do we believe that all of a sudden you are appalled by the same man who last week was your friend ? Or do we believe that you have had a sudden enlightening of your conscience and understand how truly appalling and offensive this man and his statements really are ?

Or do we believe that you suddenly realized that standing with your mentor meant losing the election so you decided to abandon Wright for political expedience and are trying to regroup because he was hurting you in the polls ? All evidence shows that the last is the case and Obama is playing the hypocritical politician.

So does the Senator from Illinois actually NOT agree with Wright or just claims to be appalled because of his lagging poll numbers ? Again my bet would be the latter rather than the former. Wright has been making controversial statements like this for years and it is ONLY when Obama saw the handwriting on the wall and the reaction from the public that he decided that distancing himself from Wright was the thing to do.

Before the public reaction he had no reason to abandon his former pastor and mentor, (incidentally he called him his mentor only a few weeks ago), so Obama kept quiet until he saw or was told by handlers that he HAD to distance himself or lose the election.

Bottom line here is that we still do not know whether Obama actually disagrees with Wright or just dissociates himself because of politics only. Is this what this country needs or wants for President ? Are these the type of judgement calls that the Commander In Chief and leader of our Nation should make ? Is this the type of decision making process that will best serve our Country ? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Obama has proven once again that he has no business, experience or the capability to be President of The United States. Abandoning Wright and the process it took to get to that point was poor judgement and to little to late.

Great Post Ken,

Obama say's what he HAS to say to win, so say's Rev, Wright!

I think that's what's going on.

You are spot on with this post.

I can't prove it of course because I can't read Obama's mind, but I do believe he agrees with Wright and is only angry now because Wright said in effect that Obama would say anything he had to say to win the election. So... he called Obama a lying politician and Obama got his shorts in a twist. The man had to know who Wright was if he was a church member for 20 years and that's good enough for me. He has definitely shown extremely poor judgement in his associations, and not only with Write, but with Ayers and Tony Rezko. I wonder if there's anyone else out there we don't know about?

I meant to write "Wright" but wrote "Wright" wrong. That's probably because Wright is wrong - there's nothing "right" about him!

Gayle: You don't need to be a mind reader to figure that out.

Anyone who reads or hears Obama's speech on Tuesday condemning Wright can see that Obama finally got fed up when he though that Wright "disrespected" him.

He made that point several times. It was glaring.

Why Wright accused Obama of being a typical politician! How dare he? Doens't Wright know that Obama stands for change? Something new?

Also, Obama said he could never disown Wright, as that would be like disowning the black community. Now, he's disowned Wright.

Has he disowned the black community?

Probably not. And besides all the lies Obama has told about his relationship with Wright, he knows blacks will still vote for him.

First, I wonder whether any regular of this blog, or very many people at all, actually watched the ENTIRE sermon that Wright gave that day. It's easy enough to find on YouTube. If you do, you will find, much to your chagrin, how out-of-context his remarks were taken. It is actually a beautiful sermon about how the events of 911 must lead people not to ask about God's relationship with us, but instead about our relationship with God. It's pretty moving and thought-provoking stuff -- and I'm an atheist! Anyway, his comments, you will learn, are a paraphrasing of various other commentators on Fox News and other cable shows, not a direct comment expressing his own views (although anyone who asserts that the many very bad things the we do all over the world will one day blow back on us isn't really too far off the mark by any reasonable analysis). Did we deserve what happened? No. But do we make attacks against us more likely with some of the things we do? Duh!
Also, ask yourself who YOU would disassociate yourself from - and from whom you would not - because of their political views. I disagree, sometimes greatly, with friends, family, and others that I love and respect dearly otherwise. Don't you? Do you share ALL their points of view? Do you even understand their points of view?
