April 2007: Wright warns Obama he might have to publicly distance himself

[Herman Munster]

Everything he said on his media tour tonight that he didn't know Wright was controversial is a fucking lie.

“If Barack gets past the primary, he might have to publicly distance himself from me,” Mr. Wright said with a shrug. “I said it to Barack personally, and he said yeah, that might have to happen.”

1. It's amazing Obama could PRAISE Wright over and over tonight. He makes it

SO clear .. almost right out of his own mouth... that he has NO capacity for judgment.

(alos watch Obama's blinking... blinking is a nonverbal sign of lying... he blinks like crazy when he says he didn't know about these sermons, blink blink blink blink blink

How could he ever have believed that he could talk his way out of this and still become President? "I just don't believe it's necessary to talk about Sen. Clinton or anyone else in those terms." VERY weak statement.

No judgment whatsover.

Then, he justifies Wright's statements.

Naive, naive, naive.

2. He had to - when he "wasn't black enough". Now that he is, distance away!

remember at first, blacks were polling for Hillary. only after sharptonizing the Clintons things turned around. The "admiration" for Wright was a way to get his bona fides with this base

3. Obama backer Farrakhan basically said the same thing about Obama's strategy
