Obama's Uncle

In attempting to distance himself from the radical statements of his Pastor, Barack Obama compared the Rev. Jeremiah Wright to a beloved uncle.  An uncle who may not always say the correct thing, but is "part of the family" and will always be there for him.  One of the most notable comments Wright has made during his many sermons, includes this one explaining 9-11.  Wright said, "We have supported state terrorism against Palestinians and Black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is brought right back to our own front yards, America's chickens are coming home to roost."  Imagine the pain felt by the families of the 2,974 victims of the 9-11 attacks upon hearing what this demagogue has said publicly?  Wright's sermons are not without his attempt to be clever and funny.  During one sermon, the Rev. Wright said that the song "God bless America should be changed to Goddamn America". Wright also referred to the United States as the "U.S. of K.K.K. A."  Surely these  statements are Wright's and not Obama's, but Obama has been a member of Wright's flock for nearly 8 years.  That's 8 years of sitting quietly in a pew with his wife and daughters listening to this bullshit and never speaking up?  Never condemning him? Never turning to his wife Michelle and saying, "We're outta here!"?  Obama clearly has a close relationship with this demagogue. Wright married the Obamas, and baptised their daughters.  I think that this relationship with Wright speaks volumns about Obama.  I hope he can be defeated before the "Chickens come home to roost" in November.  The problem is, it may be too late.
