Don’t you think there’s an overlooked aspect of this whole Wright/Obama froofarraw? Until now, we’ve all been wondering why Obama would stay in that church. Let’s look at it the other way.
Consider: Wright
hates “assimilationist” blacks. Conda”skeeza” Rice, Colin Powell…he even wants the multi-racial Tiger Woods to lose at golf for the crime of not calling himself black. Any “African” who gets along with other races seems to bug Wright to no end.
But Obama is fine by him!
The post-racial candidate that Obama sold himself as in the earlier part of this campaign seems the type of person that Wright would detest. What does it say about Obama that Wright has been fond of him for twenty years?
Barack Obama’s book, “The Audacity of Hope,” contains a appealing title. It has a taste of bravery mixed with confidence. There’s nothing Pollyanna about it. I might not support almost everything he tells, but he’s our president, and then for me, he creates belief. That may do more for any nation than any amount of backroom deals. Hope gives us energy, and energy sustains us through trying times. Boy, we’ve had them. I’m from West Texas, and I did not vote for Bush. When McCain ran against Obama, I was a citizen of Arizona, but I gave audacious hope a chance. The fight for progress and laying the foundations of prosperity will not be over. I’ve come across the quips of those that don’t believe Obama is capable of doing it. But step back a second. Would anyone have most of us fail just to tarnish the star of an incumbent for whom they didn’t vote? Keeping our priorities straight, let’s work together with our president and build our future.
