| Booners,
Obama of course absolutely knew the fibre of his buddy the Reverend Wright. How can you be so close to somebody for 20 years and not know that.
However, it was a matter of 'you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours.' The problem is that Wright didn't get scratched back enough.
This is why we're in this situation.
We've all made deals for favors, even in our simple jobs or whatever. We give something and we expect something in return.
Wright feels he's owed more. He wanted to share in the glory of a future President. Obama thought he gave him enough glory as a Senator. Wright's a terrible liability for Obama going forward. That's it in a nutshell. Wright might be the downfall for Obama in the end, just due to simple ego.
A potential President brought down by a nutcase preacher. Only in America. |
