Not many people believe that Barack Obama agrees with the racist and inflammatory statements made by his self-described minister and spiritual leader Jeremiah Wright. But many are starting to question his judgement in staying so closely associated with the man for twenty-plus years. It's virtually impossible Obama couldn't have know how the man felt about America, white people, and everything else he castigated so vehemently in the tapes being shown widely on TV (except on ABC, NBC, and CBS).
Obama has been running for President of the United States, and one of his strongest attributes, he'sbeen saying, is his good judgement.
A TV host asked some good questions a few nights ago. He pointed out that if he were in a church and heard the pastor saying things like that, he would get up and walk out, and not come back. The host then gestured to the camera and asked the audience, "Wouldn't you?" He then asked, "Why didn't Obama?"
He then asked, "What kind of 'judgement' does it show on Obama's part, to have stayed so closely associated with a man with such nutty and racist biases, when he had to know how strongly and vilely the man was uttering them in his church?" Churchgoers are more then a congregation. They are a community. They talk amongst themselves, and it's hard to believe they wouldn't have talked to each other about such ringing and vile condemnations of our country, the government, the rehashing of so many wild conspiracy theories with an air of total belief after hearing them from this preacher.
People are starting to question Obama's judgement, not because they feel he believe's the preacher's wild rantings, but because he stayed so close to them man despite them, repeatedly calls him his "spiritual adviser", and even hired the man to work on his (Obama's) Presidential campaign.
And Obama's wife's comments from a few weeks ago, where she said she was finally proud of her country for the first time in her adult life, begin to make more sense when we consider what she's been hearing in church for the last twenty years or so. I'm starting to feel she said them, not as a slip of the tongue, but because she really meant them. Perhaps she simply didn't realize that most people outside her circles might not agree.
Should Barack Obama gain the Presidency, that fanatical racist preacher will not accompany him into the White House. At least, I hope not. But his wife certainly will, of course, as every married President's wife always does. And it sounds like he will have a "close advisor" ready to "guide" him with more of those same sentiments, however watered down.
Most people would have walked out of any church where such crazy filth was being spread as Gospel. Why didn't Obama?
Is this the kind of judgement we want in the White House?
