Rev. Wright: Obama's a (Gulp) "Politician"

Posted by: Matt Lewis at 3:06 PM

Rev. Wright today:

"Politicians say what they say and do what they do because of electability ... He had to distance himself because he's a politician..."

Today, Rev. Wright referred to Barack Obama as a "politician." This is, perhaps, one of the worst criticisms possible. It also raises several follow-up questions, including:

... Is he saying Obama is misleading or manipulating the voters?

... Is he admitting that Obama is just another politician, and if so, doesn't this undermine Obama's entire Raison d’Etra?

... Is he saying that Obama is really with him (wink wink)?

Change from old to new - betrayal!
Wow! uncle Wright really hurt Obama. Even I who does not support Obama would not have said that in public. Obama really elevated Wright as an uncle whose age made his views understandable - and americans were just beginning to believe it when - bam! Wright lets the cat out of the bag. His right brain must not be communicating with Obama's left brain. Perhaps Wright's right brain forgot that his 'nephew' was offering americans 'change and hope for a new direction with new politics of transparency'. Perhaps uncle Wright was upset at being compared to Obama's white gramma - how dare Obama compare Wright, a black king, to gramma an inferior white person whose sole duty in life is to oppress blacks and create diseases like HIV virus for the purpose of killing blacks. Whatever the reasons uncle Wright is upset with Barack, his words have confirmed what americans felt all along and wondered if it was because they were racist - that Obama with all his eloquence was neither qualified to be president, nor could he be trusted as authentic. Americans can now quote uncle Wright as the source of their feelings......and we all know Obama can not really argue with uncle Wright because after all - we now have the full context.

The Politics of Self Destraction
There is a theory about the black community. It uses the 'crabs' as a metaphor to explain that when one of their own tries to climb out of the crab hole and elevate his or her status, the other crabs try to bring that crab back into the hole. Why would Wright do this to Obama now? I have a theory, he did not think Obama would get this far in his candidacy. If Obama does get the nomination, then Wright no longer has the superior argument that non-whites have a seat at the table and this would make his congregation of 8000 and more, including Farakhan's sheep, and Jackson's sheep - realize that their masters (black masters replaced the white masters) have been lying all along. America is not as racist as they (black masters) want their ignorant sheep to believe and their scam will be over. If the Clintons were right about the politics of personal destructions, Obama's pastor/mentor or is it 'uncle' has personified the politics of self destruction.
