Sorry Dale, but this post is really a ridiculous Obama apologist assertion. Wright was his spiritual guide and mentor for 20 years. If he didn't know he ranted the way he did in church, he was either willfully blind, or dense to the core.
It's more reasonable to assume Obama heard and quietly ascribed to many of Wrights rantings, believing the good he did in the local neighborhoods of Chicago, and the political connections he obtained, outweighed the outrageous rantings in church.
His willingness to apologize to heads of state around the world for America's shortcomings, during the latest rock tour, align with this model.
I do believe there is hope. The man is relatively young, both in spirit and in body. If he doesn't encircle himself completely with far left wing Nancy Pelosi types, he may learn to be more centrist, because, he now actually has to make decisions and not simply vote absent, or pontificate from the lecture hall on difficult issues in an often hostile environment. |
