“I am outraged by the comments that were made and saddened over the spectacle that we saw yesterday,” Obama said at a news conference Tuesday.
I am concerned about this statement that Barack Obama has made regarding his former pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Rev. Wright has been an activist, academician, and a outspoken minister during his entire years of service as a pastor. As an African American minister it would concern me if my member after twenty years of my theological teaching, philosophical beliefs, and spiritual service would act as if he is shocked and awed by the statements that were made in the past and recently.
Obama is clearly demonstrating a character flaw of dishonesty. If you were to pull a library of sermons from Rev. Wrights Church I guarantee that over half of his sermons mention a critical race analysis and have a pence political and social analysis attached to them. So for Barack Obama to be shocked, awed, disgusted, and outraged it is a complete act of dishonesty and is misleading to the American public.
Lastly, Barack Obama is a politician, which means he operates out of the world of politics in which we all know that it is a world that requires you to have an extreme level of flexibility and broadness in your beliefs and statements. However, I believe that Barack Obama has now kissed his African American support good bye and has proved that his presidency would be no better for African American sake than Hillary Clinton.
