Wright and Wrong


From Robbie Cooper at

Barack Obama Shucks and Jives His Way Through Racism Speech
... If Barack Obama wanted to preach the story of unity and racial harmony,
perhaps he should have started with his own Reverend (Wright) and his own wife...

From Barack’s own mouth today: Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes.

Contrast that with his words from just a few days ago when he lied to the American public, “I have never heard Rev. Wright preach hatred of America.”

So what else is wrong?

How about this Hypocrisy ...

Obama 1st WH Contender to Call for Imus' Firing Over Racial Slur

"I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus, but I would also say that there's nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group. And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude." Barack Hussein Obama to ABC News
It is my humble opinion that someone saying 'nappy headed ho' isn't quite in the same league as someone who spews the hate-filled, racially divisive invective as Reverend Wright has done:
“The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing ‘God Bless America.’ No, no, no, God damn America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people. God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.” (2003)
“Barack knows what it means living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people. Hillary would never know that. Hillary ain’t never been called a nigger. Hillary has never had a people defined as a non-person.”
“The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for over 40 years now. Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community and wake up Americans concerning the injustice and the racism under which the Palestinians have lived because of Zionism.”
So Mr Imus apologized and got fired anyway. No apology from Rev Wright.

Oh, and someone should clue the Senator regarding the Cuban flag featuring Che Guevara flag hanging in his Houston campaign office...
A lot of patriotic Americans may find that disturbingly wrong. I certainly do.

And this ...
POTUS is the Wrong job for a man who cannot be bothered to put his hand over his heart for America.
