Did Obama 'Throw Rev. Wright Under The Bus'?

I think that the shame is that people expect this man, who is running for president of the entire United States, to be some rebel, holding up some stupid cause.

Barack isn't going to be swiftboated. He's too smart for that. He isn't knuckling under, he's being wise. A real leader knows how to alleviate the fears and concerns of all of his followers.

You cannot be a high ranking official and be a frickin militant! As a matter of fact, I wouldn't want that anyway. Let the man do his thing. Keep the faith, and don't let your own fears of defeat lead you to wanting to say "see, I told you he shoulda'...".

Yes he did, and needlessly based on what I hear in the unexpurgated sermons.

So much for your prophetic god's son brah, he has feet of clay after all....,

Well Reverend Wright was clearly voicing typical Negro paranoia and as such was completely off base. Not that the conspiracy theories aren't understandable, but they're wrong and Kanye is right. America doesn't hate black people, it simply doesn't care about black people and is perfectly fine with us being the collateral damage in favor of its other causes.

So I think Obama was incredibly fair in A. saying that the Rev's fears were grounded in at least some type of reality, but that B. his assumption of malice aforethought was off base.

Bottom line for you conspiracy junkies, if America wanted to annihilate black people, why would they have to do it slowly?

Obama's real issue was associating with the black church in the first place. Christianity is a slave masters religion. There I said it.

He didn't throw him under the bus; he merely pointed out where he disagreed. I respect the way Barack explicitly REFUSED to throw him under the bus.
