Rev. Jeremiah Wright Says "Jews" Are Keeping Him From President Obama
David Squires, VA Daily Press, 9 Jun 2009

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright says he does not feel any regrets over his severed relationship with President Barack Obama, a former member of the Chicago church in which Wright was the longtime pastor.

Wright also said that he had not spoken to his former church member since Obama became president, implying that the White House won't allow Obama to talk to him. He did not indicate whether he had tried to reach Obama.

"Regret for what... that the media went back five, seven, 10 years and spent $4,000 buying 20 years worth of sermons to hear what I've been preaching for 20 years?

"Regret for preaching like I've been preaching for 50 years? Absolutely none," Wright said.

Wright said that when he went to the polls, he did not hold any grudge against Obama.

"Of course I voted for him; he's my son. I'm proud of him," Wright said. "I've got five biological kids. They all make mistakes and bad choices. I haven't stopped loving any of them.

"He made mistakes. He made bad choices. I've got kids who listen to their friends. He listened to those around him. I did not disown him."

Asked if he had spoken to the president, Wright said: "Them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office. ...

"They will not let him to talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is. ... I said from the beginning: He's a politician; I'm a pastor. He's got to do what politicians do."

Wright also said Obama should have sent a U.S. delegation to the World Conference on Racism held recently in Geneva, Switzerland, but that the president did not do so for fear of offending Jews and Israel.

"Ethnic cleansing is going on in Gaza. Ethnic cleansing (by) the Zionist is a sin and a crime against humanity, and they don't want Barack talking like that because that's anti-Israel," Wright said.

Wright is in Hampton this week attending Hampton University's 95th Annual Ministers Conference. The son of a pastor, Wright said he has attended the conference since he was a child – though he was not spotted at the conference in 2008 during the heat of the debate over comments he made that many in the media branded racially divisive.

Perhaps without the Wright controversy, the issue of race might not have become a part of the 2008 presidential campaign.

After the initial rounds of the controversy, Obama made his famous speech in Philadelphia on race relations, in which he said he could no more disown Wright than his own grandmother.

But the issue heated up after more comments by Wright at the National Press Club and from other controversial speakers at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. Obama eventually distanced himself from the church.

What's funny is I bet this won't be on any of the major networks, and if questioned they'll claim he was taken out of context.

I've said it before the man is a racist pure and simple. It kills me that anyone can think that an individual could sit in Rev Wright's church for decades and have no idea. Some times I think it must be nice to be a sheep.

It's in the Chicago Tribune - so it might make it into the MSM pretty quick. Pretty poor timing for Obee and the upcoming SC nominee hearings.

I cant even register that type of information any more....

...I have so many layers of tinfoil on my head that only the score from the latest Braves game gets through.

...and the 20-10-5 minute load calls at the local drop zone. I still hear them because I take the foil off when I jump.

God Bless reverend Wright and all of his followers. May they someday get everything that their prayers have entitled them to.

Seems to read the same..."Reverse" Bigotry or "Reverse" racism. Better yet, add adjective of your choice... e.g. "Ethnically", "Politically", "Nationality", "Religiously", "Sexually / Sexuality", "Species", "Planetarily", "Nutritionally", etc
