Who IS Barack Obama?
In my last post I asked what could happen next to the Democrats? Looks like we have more exciting answers.
This week it’s Barack Obama who’s in the “hot seat”.
Lots of press coverage has been devoted to the sermons (rantings) of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Jr., former spiritual advisor to the Obama campaign and the minister who married Barack and Michelle Obama twenty years ago. Wright has since resigned from the Obama campaign, after some of his virulent anti-USA, anti-white and anti-semitic sermons were made widely-public in several videos.
While Obama has stated in press conferences that he rejects these viewpoints, he also stated that he had never heard any such messages while he was in attendance. This can only mean that poor Barack Obama is deaf!
Since numerous reporters and eyewitnesses have testified as to his presence at other similar sermons, he is either deaf or he sleeps through the sermons. (Men have been noted to do so on more than one occasion.) However, sleeping through one of those sermons would be hard to believe, if only due to the volume with which Rev. Wright preaches.
But IF Obama did sleep through those sermons that’s even more troublesome. Modern science has proven that our subconscious mind works without a filter while we are asleep. That would mean that ANY poisonous message could be delivered to a person’s subconscious, without any filter to determine the right or wrong of a message.
Among the diatribes attributed to Reverend Wright are actual recordings of him blaming the USA for bringing the 9/11 attacks upon ourselves and numerous references to our society as “white supremacists”. It seems to stretch the imagination that Barack Obama, during his twenty years of friendship with the Reverend and attending the same church, would not have grasped that SOME of Reverend Wright’s sermons and viewpoints are anti-USA and racially-divisive.
What needs to be pointed-out in all this nastiness is that a person does not need to be causcasian to be a “racist”.
One thing is certain though, Obama has stated publicly that he rejects any support from Louis Farrakhan and his Nation of Islam. In his twenty years of close ties with Rev. Wright, he has to have known of Wright’s admiration for Farrakhan, his later awards to Farrakhan and Wright’s accompanying Louis Farrakhan to Libya in 1984, where they met with Moammar Khadafy. This has to be a very uncomfortable issue for the candidate.
While he says he doesn’t agree with Wright’s viewpoints on any of these issues, why did he continue to attend the same church? And, more recently, why did he have Reverend Wright on his campaign staff as a spiritual advisor?
Whether one is a Barack Obama supporter or not, these are questions that need to be asked, and answered, for voters to make their own judgement in November.
In light of the revelations of the last week, perhaps it’s now somewhat easier to understand Michelle Obama’s earlier comments that she had never been proud of this country until now.
