Of course, I knew that, and anyone not infatuated with Obama’s candidacy know that, but now Jeremiah Wright is confirming what we already knew… much to the dismay of Obamaniacs.
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright said Monday that he will try to change national policy by “coming after” Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) if he is elected president.
The pastor also insisted Obama “didn’t denounce” him and “didn’t distance himself” from Wright’s controversial remarks, but “did what politicians do.”
Wright implied Obama still agrees with him by saying: “He had to distance himself, because he’s a politician, from what the media was saying I had said, which was [portrayed as] anti-American.”
Well, first, let me just say that the media didn’t say what Wright said, they just played vide of what said, and his words spoke for themselves.
But anyway, Wright still told two undeniable truths. First, that Obama did not truly denounce Wright, and second that Obama only attempted to distance himself from Wright for political cover, not because of a genuine rejection of Wright’s words.
Thank you.
UPDATE: Wright’s recent public spectacle has Obama running for political cover.
UPDATE: Bulldog Pundit makes an interesting observation regarding Obama’s newfound “outrage” over Wright’s recent comments.
What did Wright really say this weekend that was any more offensive than what Obama previously dismissed as “soundbites”. I listened to this guy’s speeches to the NAACP and his comments at the National Press Club yesterday and I didn’t hear anything worse than he had said previously. I did learn however, that this guy’s kookiness is not limited to “sound bites”. The full version is just as loopy, and there’s absolutely no chance in hell that Obama wasn’t aware of it having gone to his church for 20 years (although he was mysteriously absent from church when all the “sound bite” moments occurred).
