On Friday night I watched Sen. Barack Obama's former pastor, the United Church of Christ "reverand" Jeremiah B. Wright interviewed by former Southern Baptist "reverand" Bill Moyers. And I understood exactly why Barack Obama refused to "throw his friend under the bus" as some many of the MSM are saying he should have done. Had Rev. Wright left it at that, I think both he and Senator and presidental candidate Barack Obama would have weathered the storm in good condition.
But former U.S. Marine Jeremiah Wright then went on the speak to the NAACP convention and next to the National Press Club and demonstrated exactly why so many of us U.S. Navy sailors called so many of the Marines we knew "Jarheads." Instead of apeaking in soft and conciliatory tones in explaining his more "inflammatory remarks" delivered in many of his sermons, he came out swinging and delivered two more jeremiads that had ignited all those media fires in the first place.
Now the Rev. Jeremiah Wright has presented the Senator Barack Obama and his campaign for the POTUS with a real dilemma. Does Barack "throw Jeremiah under the bus" as so many are saying he should, and risk being called an Uncle Tom by many Black voters and losing the nomination vote in NC? or does he continue to support his former pastor and spiritual advisor and risk losing both the IN primary vote and (should he still gain the Democratic nominee) the Nov. general election to Senator John McCain?
If Obama loses both IN and especially NC, Sen. Hillary Clinton will become the Demo nominee for sure.
I love Hillary (as some of you might already know) and would prefer to see her as our candidate because I believe she will be a great president (and we sure as hell need a great president to follow the ignoramus, TGDSOBGWB) but I hate to see Obama lose the primary because of the shitstorm whirling around him because of Jeremiah's lamentations.
