Obama Asks Jeremiah Wright For Election Help

I think Wright was right when he had said before, Obama basically used his church to further his own career. In 2007, Obama threw Wright under the bus after being caught attending the hate church for 20 years. Now, in the race of his life, he calls on Wright to help instruct blacks to get on board.

Sounds like a smart move rather than a desperate move. Its a tight race, both candidates are all in, there is still 2 weeks left and a lot can happen in 2 weeks.

That shows how low you are. Wright is not someone to beg for help. If you have to stoop as low to doing that, then it says something about your character.

But i will tell you I am not surprised. You and others on the left would ask for help from the worst of the worst if you think it would get you votes.

If you want to win, you do whatever you can to win. Believe me, there is a TON of 'low stooping' amongst politicians to climb the ladder, These guys dont get to be presidential candidates by not 'stooping'.

Plenty of stooping to go around.

I'm not really surprised. This could be a double edged sword for him, if it becomes common knowledge it may hurt him with some of the white vote. He also risks having blacks call him out for the hypocrit that he is. You know, fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on me. He might want to remember, despite popular belief, we aren't all sheep who will blindly follow the dictates of some preacher because he is black.

Wright is about as much of a "Rev." and a "church" as I am the queen of Sheba.

All of these "churches" need to have their tax exempt status pulled.

This wouldn't sit well with most people. Most liberals have little standards so they're okay with this. But the media will keep quiet on this because it would hurt Obama. And they have binders and big bird to talk about
