Payback (5.00 / 4) (#67)

IMO Obama used Wright to gain influence in the AA church community and undercut the Clinton's popularity there. Once he did this for him, Obama cut him out. I can understand Wright calling him a "politician". He is one. I can also understand the bitterness in Wright at having been used by someone you had considered a long time friend. After all, it wasn't Wright who changed, it was Obama. Wright served no useful purpose anymore.

I agree with your post.  You hit the Obama/Wright relationship right on the head.

Wright has been using black community leaders and churches to move quickly into politics.  Barry is a user.  Barak is a uniter.  So who is who?

The mask is slipping...
