You know, I have been a member of Trinity United Church of Christ since 1992. I have known Reverend Wright for almost 20 years. The person I saw yesterday was not the person that I met 20 years ago. His comments were not only divisive and destructive, but I believe that they end up giving comfort to those who prey on hate and I believe that they do not portray accurately the perspective of the black church.

They certainly don't portray accurately my values and beliefs. And if Reverend Wright thinks that that's political posturing, as he put it, then he doesn't know me very well. And based on his remarks yesterday, well, I may not know him as well as I thought, either.

I believe that they do not portray accurately the perspective of the
black church.

And that is what we (those of us on the Right) have been saying all along. Black Theology does not represent most blacks and this dude is a racist. Thanks, Obama, for saying so. Now, why did you go to his church for almost 20 years?

Now, why did you go to his church for almost 20 years?

Did you hear that the day Obama planned to announce
his bid for the presidential run, that the Reverend Wright
met Obama in the basement and prayed 'privately'? Then, Obama met with Dick Durbin for his public announcement
with the press. That was about January 2007.

Yes. I heard.
