Yeah.

Now, I’ve been called an idiot and a retard by Guanabee’s lovely readers, but I’m nobody’s fool (I feel like Mr. T right now)! According to some sources, Obama joined Wright’s church in the 80s in an effort to improve his political chances in Chicago. He made what seemed to be a smart move back then, joining an influential Black church in the Chicago area. Before the speech, he made misleading comments suggesting that he had no idea that his pastor had made the previously mentioned hateful comments. He then denounced those comments and claimed that they don’t reflect his personal values. Again, I’m nobody’s fool.

Obama has known Mr. Wright for 20 years. Interestingly, he even quotes and mentions Mr. Wright in his book several times. And, to make matters worse, he even used one of Wright’s phrases, The Audacity of Hope, as the title of one of his books. Oh, but it gets better. His lovely wife Michelle probably agrees with Pastor Wright (just read her undergrad thesis on Blacks and White America).

My point: We really don’t know who Obama is. He changes positions when it suits his political needs. When he wanted to gain political power in Chicago, he exploited Wright and his church. Now that he needs the White vote, he denounces Wright’s comments and distances himself from those values. This man is a walking contradiction. Will the real Barack Obama please stand up?

@ GBAN: Obama has removed him as a spiritual advisor so what else can he do? He is now guilty by association.
He is trying to address this race issue to move past it so it’s not just ” a black man running against a white women” presidential race.

@Alex: :)

@jrod: I learned a valuable lesson a few weeks ago. If I attack Rebekah, all hell will break loose. Cindy will single me out and declare my words misogynistic (which is hypocritical). Guanabee readers will call me an idiot, a retard, or other lovely things. It’s me against Guanabee. Sure, I can take the punches, but you know what, it’s lonely at the top. If I had a soul, I’d cry.

Anyhoo, re: Obama’s speech, I commend him for discussing race in a very direct way, but he’s preaching to the choir. Honestly, I’m stunned by how the media is eating up his every word without hesitation. His wife and pastor have both made VERY questionable statements about America. And those statements contradict Obama’s message of unity and change. No one cares that he neglected to address the issue earlier, and, before the speech, he even made misleading comments suggesting that he had no idea that Wright had made the incendiary comments in question. That’s bull.

One more thing: it’s also interesting that the media is praising Obama’s message, and echoing his call for us to reevaluate the racial strife that exists between Whites and blacks. He mentioned slavery directly in his speech. Now, the media is talking about this issue to death–it’s like everyone’s excusing Wright’s hateful words and Obama’s clear lack of judgment.
