Obama Is Eventually Going To Have To Tell The Truth About Wright

Once again, Obama is asking the American public to take a leap of faith and believe him when he says that he never heard Jeremiah Wright say anything that the general public would find offensive. Now that Obama has finally denounced Wright and some of his views, some people want to know why it took so long for him to make the right decision.

I have said it before and I will say it again. I do not have a problem with Wright saying the stuff that he does. If he wants to act crazy and say hateful things then that is his right to do so.  Just as it is my right to question the sanity and judgment of the members of Trinity United Church of Christ who continue to sit and listen to Wright.  I still have a problem that Obama was a member of this church for twenty years.

Obama continues to say he was unaware that Wright was delusional and controversial, but there is evident that says otherwise.  Tom Bevan does a great job of documenting Obama's awareness of how problematic his relationship with Wright could be to the day he announced his candidacy for the presidency on February 10, 2007.  According to Wright, Obama called him the night before the announcement to tell him that he no longer could do the invocation.

"Mr. Wright said that in the phone conversation in which Mr. Obama disinvited him from a role in the announcement, Mr. Obama cited an article in Rolling Stone, "The Radical Roots of Barack Obama." According to the pastor, Mr. Obama then told him, "You can get kind of rough in the sermons, so what we've decided is that it's best for you not to be out there in public."

I have questioned Hillary Clinton's sanity and inability to tell the truth after her "sniper" fantasy played out on national television.  Therefore, I also believe it is fair to question Obama's judgment and decision making in regards to Wright.  I have come to the conclusion that Obama is either lying about what he knew about Wright's controversial beliefs and sermons or he is a member of a church that he rarely attended.  Time will tell what the real truth is, but by then it may be too late for Obama.
