This brings up an interesting question. Rev J Wright has went from being a local preacher on the south side of Chicago to a national figure in the course of a month. Surely he did not expect this and he must be thinking about what all the free publicity and recognition are doing and what possibilities might be open for him (perhaps the Senate seat that will open upon Obama's taking the oath of office for President?). He is obviously a well spoken opinionated man, a decorated combat veteran and a good family values man. An ideal candidate I think!

How is a racist, hate spewing pastor who is buds with the radical Nation of Islam the perfect candidate?? I take it you were joking.

Obama Lies - Quick Glance
OBAMA LAUNDRY LIST OF LIES ( 65 lies as of March 31 2008)
1.) Selma Got Me Born - LIAR, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965.
2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - LIAR, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.
3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - LIAR, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had

4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - LIAR, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya. It is the first widespread violence in decades.
5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - LIAR, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn’t allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.
6.) My Name is African Swahili - LIAR, your name is Arabic and ‘Baraka’ (from which Barack came) means ‘blessed’ in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.
7.) I Never Practiced Islam - LIAR, you practiced it daily at school, where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years,until your wife made you change, so you could run for office.
8.) My School In Indonesia Was Christian - LIAR, you were registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book).
9.) I Was Fluent In Indonesian - LIAR, not one teacher says you could speak the language.
10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia, I Have More Foreign Experience - LIAR, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn’t even speak the language. What did you learn, how to study the Koran and watch cartoons.

I think you're on to something, Kev. It seems that the black community has a high tolerance level for scoundrels as their elected officials. Alcee Hastings, representative from Florida, is a former federal judge who was impeached and removed from the bench by Congress for corruption and perjury. Now he's back feeding at the public trough courtesy of his black constituents. Shame has no meaning for people like him. Wright would fit right in the Democrat caucus in Congress.

You forgot Carol Moseley-Braun, who formerly held Obama's Senate seat.

A more despicable amoral scumbag never lived.

Wright is enjoying the limelight right now at Obama's expense. Shows how much he cares for furthering his own race and their issues he pretends to be so angry over. He cares about furthering himself.

I worked in her campaign too and was very disappointed in her. She could have been one of the best but she got greedy and spent more time in Africa than she did Chicago. I would not say she was the worst. That goes to Mel Reynolds- another politican I had hope in that turned out to be a child molester. I would like to kick his teeth in myself.

What happens to people when they get power, anyway? It often seems that they lose their minds.

Maybe this media attention has unhinged Jeremiah Wright....

You've got a history of working for losers KevK: Carol Mosley Braun and Mel Reynolds. You're about to add another one to your loser list when people learn the truth about Obama. Already his lead over Clinton is slipping. If we can get John (another loser) Dean to shut his trap Hillary will overtake Obama by mid summer heading into the convention.

If Hillary gets the nomination promise me you'll go to work for McCain. We don't need your bad luck on our side.
