B.O.: Had Wright not retired, I'd have left church
2008-03-29
  • Sen. Barack Obama says Rev. Jeremiah Wright "saddened" by controversy
    "That's his sad face!"
  • Obama says he'd have left church if Wright hadn't conceded he'd offended people
    "Honest. I was just packing when he resigned!"
  • Obama discusses his former pastor on ABC's "The View" airing Friday
    "'If I were a tree, what kind of a tree would I be?' Gosh. That's a tough one..."
  • New controversy brewing: Church bulletin reprinted articles seen as anti-Israel
    Whoa! Anti-American and anti-Israel! That Rev. Wright is just chock full of surprises!

    #5  "Had the reverend not retired and had he not acknowledged that what he had said had deeply offended people and were inappropriate and mischaracterized what I believe is the greatness of this country, for all its flaws, then I wouldn't have felt comfortable staying there at the church," the senator said.

    Ummmmmmm, when did the "Rev" do all of this "acknowledgement", Barack, cuz I musta missed it...

    #4  On the other hand in 'Dreams of My Father', Obama says that what drew him into the church was Wright's preaching about how all the black world's suffering was caused by the greed of whites. The sermon moved him to tears.

    Since when has Obama taken mock offense at what Wright was spewing for years? Since running for president based on a phoney 'heal racial divisions' pose.

    Obama is just Sharpton or Jackson with Harvard diction.

    "That's the first time he's ever said anything like that. Honest! That I remember hearing, anyway."

    #2  Wright retired with at least two million dollars. Two million dollars he extracted from the pockets of his parishioners. Yes, of the pockets of those people who are kept in poverty by the eeeeeevil, raaaaaaacist white man.
