REV. WRIGHT EGO TURNS GANGLAND
After an unfortunate remark by radio talk show host Bob Grant regarding DNC Chairman Ron Brown’s death in 1996 NJ Gov. Whitman’s “people” refused to go on any future shows and asked Mr. Grant to “lay low.” This sounds like an affront and lack of loyalty, but if one has the best interests for a candidate in mind, they will see the “big picture” and opt for silence so long as their candidate remains in power or at least untarnished. Silence sometimes is golden.
Rev. Wright and by default, Barack Obama are engaged in a clash of Ego’s. Like the Bloods and Crypts, we are now seeing a minister grasp at the brass ring of publicity, his name in the limelight and his message and persona getting more face time, while Obama prays he takes his offer of a fact finding trip anywhere but on U.S. turf.
Commonsense would think with the office of the Presidency in sight for the first African American, Wright would have the best interests of a member of his congregation at heart and remain low key. Instead we see him interviewed by Bill Moyers and is scheduled to speak at the National Press club and NAACP. We have learned more about him in one week than we knew in four decades.
The result of this conflict: Barack is losing support among White Middle Class Democrats, Catholics and Union workers, and Hillary has edged into his Educated Professional White Voters. Instead of "what Barack can do for America," we are seeing hypnotic clips of the “God Damn America” sound bite which will now never go away, and there is a fear that Wright will slip again, further eroding Barack’s support.
If Wright grasped the possibilities, he would not cut his nose to spite his face and stay on the Q.T. until Obama gains power. Then perhaps Wright can be a player in the next administration, unless he is a slave to his own “suppressed anger” diatribe and believes America will not vote for an African American for president, which was not the case prior to his involvement.
Given that hypothesis, then by all means Reverend, the urgency of now dictates one grab as much face time as they can get. Just know it will guarantee the defeat you so bitterly portray.
