Obama and Wright, a lesson in the power of much ado about nothing?

I love Shakespeare. The man had a flair, and had a saying that fits almost every occasion. "All the world's a stage," and "methinks the lady doth protest too much" come heavily to mind when it comes to Barack Hussein Obama and his mentor Jeremiah Wright.


For the past few days, as evidenced by Marc Ambinder's article in the Atlantic, we've been bombarded by story after story, report after report, article after article, about how that Obama has disowned, disavowed, disassociated, disconnected from, dismissed, and all but disintegrated Wright, right?

Wrong.

"Something is rotten in the State of Denmark." I honestly think that Obama and Wright are both protesting too loudly and too much. Way too much.

Everyone from Limbaugh down is talking about how Obama has thrown Wright under the bus on this. I thought that at first, as well, but see, I've been thinking (damned dangerous, I know, especially when it comes to me doing it, because I love puzzles, and damned if this didn't fall into place just like a puzzle).

Here's how I've pieced it together, in my mind (short version, the actual process of my reasoning this out would scare the hell out of you): Obama was a virtual unknown in the political arena, he winds up at Wright's church while trying to make a name for himself, enters into the race for the 2004 Illinois Senate seat and virtually coasted into the office because of the SCANDALOUS divorce situation around incumbent Jack Ryan (whose wife is actress Jeri Ryan), and now, without even having completed ONE TERM in the Senate, he's a front runner for the Presidency?

I smell the Chicago political machine.

This thing with Obama separating himself from Wright is nothing more than typical smoke and mirrors on the part of the Obama camp in order to try to make himself the "glory boy" and "messiah" again before the last primaries and Denver.

You don't just walk away from 20 years of association with your mentor.

That's horse shit.

But that's my opinion, as Dennis Miller says, I may be wrong.

I don't think I am.

Obama on Wright: Does Anyone Else Smell...Something?

If you haven't been living under a rock or off on safari in Africa you know who Jeremiah Wright is by now. God knows we've seen enough of him on television, heard him on radio, and there are no telling how many countless youtube and other vid sites of him by now.

After (how many does this make now, discounting Hannity's first revelations about Wright last year?) weeks of listening to Wright "God Damn"ing America, Barack Hussein Obama (yes, I'm going to use his middle name, it's his damned name, isn't it? if he doesn't like it, he should change it to Harold or something like that. No more bullshit over that, either) has finally publicly denounced the former pastor in Winston-Salem, North-Carolina.

Obama is trying to tamp down the uproar over the Rev. Jeremiah Wright at a tough time in his campaign. The Illinois senator is coming off a loss in Pennsylvania to rival Hillary Rodham Clinton and trying to win over white working-class voters in Indiana and North Carolina in next Tuesday's primaries.

"I am outraged by the comments that were made and saddened over the spectacle that we saw yesterday," Obama told reporters at a news conference Tuesday.

His strong words come just six weeks after Obama delivered a sweeping speech on race in which he sharply condemned Wright's remarks but did not leave the church or repudiate the minister himself, who he said was like a family member. After weeks of staying out of the public eye while critics lambasted his sermons, the former pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago made three public appearances in four days to defend himself.

Does anyone else smell horse shit here? Obama attends Wright's church for what, twenty years, doesn't say anything negative about Wright's stand on things, which unless he was sleeping he's sure to have picked up on, unless he's CLUELESS, in which case we have to wonder if he's competent enough to be in the positions he's in both as Senator and as Presidential candidate.

Horse shit. He's outraged? OUTRAGED? I'm outraged that there are people out there who are buying this load of second rate manure that isn't fit for composting, let alone for good fertilizer. There is one reason Obama is making this stand, and one reason only: Political Expedience. That's it, nothing else. He hasn't tossed Wright under the bus, he's drop kicked him for distance and is hoping he lands far enough away that the taint and stink is gone.

Guess what, Barry H. Obama (sounds kind of Irish if you use it the way he preferred to be called before entering politics, doesn't it?), there are some of us out here who are paying attention, some of us out here aren't the mindless hordes fainting and fawning over your every empty word, listening to you prattle on about change and hope and all this empty hot air that comes out of your well groomed, ivy-league prepared lawyer's glib tongued mouth.

We are not impressed.

For over a year we have watched Obama rise like a freshly prepared bread dough waiting for the oven, but just like that bread dough, if you poke a hole in it, the air is going to come out and you're going to be left with nothing but the outer skin. THAT is your Rock Star Presidential Candidate, America. That's Barack Obama. No substance, nothing of meaning.

Kind of makes you wonder why all of the terrorist organizations around the world hope he's our next President, doesn't it?
