Jerimiah Wright Preaches....Senator Obama Doesn't Listen

With the recent releases of controversial sermons conducted by Reverend Jeremiah Wright questions are being raised as to how a U.S Senator and candidate for President of United States can be associated with the controversial minister who, like Louis Farrakhan espouses racial bigotry and divisiveness.

The senator after initial hesitation has stated that he does not agree with his minister's statements and that these statements in no way reflect his opinions and that he vehemently disagrees with Reverend Wright's attack on the United States and white people in general.

Fair enough.

Certainly, the senator can not be held responsible for his minister's racially divisive and insensitive remarks. There is no and should be no guilt by association in this instance. The senator can not be held responsible for the remarks of a bitter aging pastor who has obviously been scared by his life experience as a black man in what he would call a 'white man's world'. Forgiveness and reconciliation, subjects so frequently taught in the bible must be found in chapters the Reverend Wright failed to read....

While Senator Obama should not be held responsible for Rev. Wright's racist remarks from the pulpit many question why an intelligent, educated, and successful young man such as Senator Obama would attend services for twenty + years and not take exception to these nonsensical remarks which flowed from the pulpit on Sunday.

The Senator has explained that during his twenty years of attending services in which Reverend Wright preached he never once heard any remarks similar to those which have come to light on video tape.

It is the above statement by Senator Obama for which he does have to take responsibility.

If the American public is to believe this statement one of two situations had to have occurred. The senator would have us believe that Reverend Wright's explosive racist and unpatriotic remarks rarely occurred (a few of which were captured on video tape) or that these remarks only took place when Obama was not in attendance.
