		<description>I don&#039;t think it originated with Hitlary, but if there&#039;s a connection there with Wright, and somehow he could have been persuaded to sell out Obama, that could explain why Wright has been almost militant about his public lunacy, which is undermining Obama.

Think about it: Wright can&#039;t lose! He&#039;s getting National attention, probably hugely increasing his status among the nutballs he caters to, and pehaps HilLiary has put something extra in the collection plate...who knows? I can&#039;t think of any way Wright loses doing this. heck, this could launch him into the status of the next JJ or Sharpton!

I&#039;m not normally a conspiracy theorist, but this one is interesting.</description>

		<description>Whoa Robert, if that is true then it&#039;s no wonder Wright won&#039;t shut his mouth.  Not that I care of course.  The more damage to Obama the better but wtf??  I really didn&#039;t think it originated with HiTlary.  It will be interesting to see this unfold.</description>

		<description>&quot;Not sure it&#039;s true, but I heard that the Clintons called on Rev. Wright to help them with their marriage after the Monica debacle. Someone ought to investigate the connections between the Clintons and Rev. Wright.&quot;

Pamela, that is verrry interesting. I didn&#039;t know there was any connection whatsoever between Wright and the Clintons. If that is true, it is very interesting indeed.

I have been saying for some time if it became necessary Hitlary would use the nuclear option on Obama. She apparently didn&#039;t start WrightGate, but if she somehow coerced Wright into doing what he&#039;s doing now, that&#039;s quite different. 

Wright acts as though he&#039;s trying to pull Obama down along with him.</description>

		<description>Pamela,

A Hillary supporter, Barbara Reynolds, was at the event, but according to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.politico.com/blogs/michaelcalderone/0408/Press_Club_President_responds_Reynolds_pitched_Rev_Wright_two_years_ago.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Press Club&lt;/a&gt;, did not organize it.  She did want him included 2 years ago, but 2 years ago, he wasn&#039;t newsworthy:

&lt;blockquote&gt;National Press Club president Sylvia Smith responded today to a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/columnists/louis/index.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Daily News article &lt;/a&gt;reporting that club member Barbara Reynolds, a Hillary Clinton supporter, organized yesterday&#039;s breakfast talk with Dr. Jeremiah Wright Jr. 

Smith said by phone this morning that she still doesn&#039;t know if Reynolds supports Clinton, and doesn&#039;t care either way. 

&quot;Reverend Wright is newsworthy, period,&quot;Smith said. 

But Wright wasn&#039;t as newsworthy two years ago when Reynolds first pitched Barack Obama&#039;s controversial pastor as a potential speaker for the press club, according to Smith.
 
At that time, the speaker&#039;s committee&quot;of which Reynolds is now a part of, but wasn&#039;t at the time&quot;didn&#039;t move forward with selecting Wright. 

&quot;He wasn&#039;t newsworthy then in the broader context,&quot;Smith said.  

An ordained minister, Reynolds, teaches at Howard University School of Divinity, and knows Wright personally. So she was the ideal contact person for Wright when the controversy broke in mid-March. 

Smith said that Reynolds pitched Wright again as a speaker, and the speakers committee wanted him because he was far more newsworthy than two years earlier. Reynolds became the point person. 

For each speaking event, one member of the organizing committee is assigned as the main contact. That person performs various tasks, from choosing who sits at the head table to drafting the NPC president&#039;s introduction, according to Smith. And Reynolds was the point person for

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0408/Clinton_supporter_invited_Wright.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Ben first spotted &lt;/a&gt;the Reynolds connection, and noted last night what she said about Obama last month, which is supportive of Wright.

&quot;[I]t is a sad testimony that to protect his credentials as a unifier above the fray the Senator is fueling the media characterization that Rev. Dr. Wright is some retiring old uncle in the church basement instead of respecting Wright for the towering astute father of progressive social and global causes that he is.&quot;

I&#039;ve put out calls and emails to Reynolds and will update with her response.&lt;/blockquote&gt;


&lt;a href=&quot;http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/03/20/photograph-of-bill-clinton-and-rev-wright-surfaces/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Wright was at a National Prayer Breakfast &lt;/a&gt;on September 11, 1998, which was just before the Starr Report was published.  The referenced article pretty much puts that rumor to bed..without a stain on a blue dress that will end up being fodder for generations to come</description>

		<description>carolyne, you are right in that at best this is making Obama look like a fool, at worst a person of suspect character and judgement.

I think this also demonstrates very clearly how unprepared Obama is to assume anything of the magnitude of the Presidency. Did he actually believe none of this would ever come out, or matter? Did he not understand that he would be put under a microscope? His business dealings, his tenure in Chicago politics, even his  hobbies would be under intense scrutiny? I&#039;ll bet HilLiary&#039;s investigators know things about Obama he has long ago forgotten.

So if he did understand all that, did he think his  oratorical skills and charisma would be enough to get through it? He could just play the race card? Or what?

It&#039;s a shame it has to be this way because anybody who truly has the ability, experience, and leadership to be the CEO of America doesn&#039;t want to deal with the crap. Why should they?

But that&#039;s the way it is...</description>

		<description>All of this is a joke, but not funny to Obama.  He won&#039;t get the last laugh, yet he is being laughed at along with all the other buffoons he is friends with.  I know I&#039;m laughing every day.=))

		<description>Robert, that would include half the country. However I don&#039;t believe Obama will be elected after all the crazies have come out of his closet full.  Obama has issues out the butt.  What is wrong with the MSM???  Go figure!  They must be taking bribes from the weather underground.  Something fishy going on that needs to be investigated.  All of the above mentioned and a few unmentionables need heavy counseling. Not to be paid by the Government which is really just you and moi.  Obviously we have learned our enemies so as not to turn our back on them.  We should be so lucky!  %%-</description>

		<description>Another thing, a reality check. George Allen, whom I would certainly support for Pres, was knocked out way early for one &quot;macaca&quot; remark. i never understood what the big deal was but the vermin in the MSM attacked early and often on that one. 

Allen says Macaca and he&#039;s gone. Yet Obama has serious character issues, emerging evidence of lack of or bad judgement, a growing list of scandals and skeletons, yet most of the MSM totally ignores it and attacks Cheney (who isn&#039;t running, by the way).

ANYONE who can&#039;t see this or doesn&#039;t have a problem with it should not be voting.</description>

		<description>i listened to a radio discussion this morning about whether Wright is actually trying to torpedo the Obama campaign. There was even speculation the Clinton campaign was behind it.

Now if wright was just a casual contact for Obama, I&#039;d say there could be something to it. But there association is a close one, and for 20 years. 

I think Wright is a genuine lunatic and really believes what he spouts. I also think he is either monumentally stupid or is getting bad advice because he really thinks his Moronicity Tour is helping, winning finds and influencing people. I think he really thinks he is scoring poin ts, winning the debate.

In reality he is fully defining the growing perception that he is a lunatic, an enemy of Ameica, and is probably going to take down the Obama candidacy.</description>
