Rev. Wright plans an October surprise
2008-08-13
BOY is he pissed at the big O. Or just a self-centered manipulator.
No reason he couldn't be both.

#7  I'd say someone doesn't like being tossed under the bus. Even if its only for 'political purposes'.

I don't think Obama 'used' Wright. I think Obama and Wright were thick as thieves. Wasn't the title of Obama's book a quote from Wright? Only when it was shown that Wright would cost Obama his dream (the Presidency) did Obama toss Wright under the Bus - which Wright didn't appreciate.

I have not doubt that if Obama were to win the Presidency him and Wright would be together again.

#6  Wright knows that Obama was in that church for 20 years, that Obama knew exactly what the message was, and that Obama lied in his public statements when he left the church. He probably had many personal conversations with Obama and Michelle.

Wright now knows that Obama was using him to build a base. Wright watched Obama turn on him when he was no longer useful.

Lastly, Wright almost certainly had expectations of influence and national exposure in an Obama administration. Those were dashed in a very cruel and public manner.


With Wright's ego "pissed off" is probably an understatement.

#5  What do you get from a sausage grinder? Sausage. What do you get from an angry, racist, egotist who is pissed at "The One"? I donno, but it aint going to be pretty.

#3  The Rev molested Obama for 20 years?

So, I'm feeling pretty cynical today.

#1  He is an egomaniac. I predict that if he drops ordnance on OB that causes him to lose the election there will be real fireworks in the black community (e.g., Jesse, Wright).
