Obama On Wright: "He Doesn't Know Me Very Well"
Barack Obama today, seeking to counter the statements made yesterday in Washington by his former preacher, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright:
"His comments were not only divisive and destructive, but I believe that they end up giving comfort to those who prey on hate, and I believe that they do not portray accurately the perspective of the Black Church," he said. "They certainly don’t portray accurately my values and beliefs, and if Rev. Wright thinks that’s political posturing, as he put it, then he doesn't know me very well, and based on his remarks yesterday, well, I may not know him as well as I thought either."

Hillary supporter, Dr. Rev. Barbara Reynolds is a media consultant who has endorsed Hillary on her website: Reynoldsnews.com. So,in a spirit of enthusiasm, Dr. Reynolds reached out to Rev. Wright and tempted him to tell his story at the Press Club to redeem his good name and the good Rev. Wright took the "bite." This ploy and scheme by Hillary supporter, Dr. Reynolds backfired and has helped Barack redeem his campaign!
Going forward, Barack has to reiterrate all that got people interested in his campaign in the first place, the fact that he does stand for unity and for reaching out to all classes of people, which deflects that he is an elitist. That he works and stands for the working people and that he always has. That to get anything passed these days you need Change in Washington, away from Corporations and the special interest and invest in people! There comes a time in each Society for the sake of survival, they must Change and As a man of "goodwill", it was hard for Barack to see the egomaniac in Wright. However, when it became clear by the total spectacle Wright made of himself in front of national TV on all Three (3) cable-news channels, which played his Entire Speech -- something usually Reserved for Presidents! And, Barack was right to divorce himself from Wright for the sake of the work and change he is trying to bring to the people. One Ego cannot get in the way of the "Good" of the Whole!
Barack "Investing in People!"
