House Rezko used to bribe Obama with for poltical favors and influence

Hussein actually praises his racist “God should Damn America”, white-hating pastor as “a family member”, calls him his “uncle”. He also tries to minimize his statements as if they are rare, cobbled-together moments. Can’t tell who is more upset by the discovery of the truth of Hussein’s ties to racism, Olberman or Hussein. Hussein also justifies Reverand Wright’s statements as appropriate to his generation. How his generation should be allowed to say that the U.S. deserved to be hit on 9-11 is beyond me. And Olbermann, who refused to bring it up, and who also refused to play any of Reverend Wright’s statements.

More of Hussein’s excuses about his ties to corrupt, very close personal friend Rezko

The Fox News Version Of Rev. Wright Interview

The Swamp:

by Mark Silva

Sen. Barack Obama did a lot of explaining Friday – always a good day to confront the worst news in a campaign – about his relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, retiring and outspoken pastor of his church in Chicago. He did so at the Chicago Tribune’s editorial board, he did so online at The Huffington Post and he did so on MSNBC.

Obama also confronted his relationship with Tony Rezko, the Chicago political deal-maker on trial for corruption, aat the Tribune’s editorial board, and he spoke of the early fundraising role that Rezko had played for him. “We went into the Tribune to disgorge any additional information they wanted,’’ Obama told MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann.

As for Wright, retired pastor of the Trininty United Church of Christ: “It was important for him to step out of the spotlight in this situation,’’ Obama told Olbermann last night.

Obama said he hadn’t become familiar with Wright’s more “incendiary’’ and now widely publicized remarks about God damning America (Wright’s words) “until recently.’’

“I wasn’t in church during the time that these statements were made,’’ Obama said. “He has been preaching for 30 years. He is a man who was a former Marine who served this country, a Biblical scholar… That is the man I know. That is the person who was the pastor of this church. I did not hear such incendiary language, myself personally.

“He always preached a social Gospel, and was sometimes controversial,’’ said Obama. “Wright “helped bring me to Jesus… He is like an uncle who has talked to me… He is somebody who is widely respected throughout Chicago and around the country for many of the things that he has done, not only as a pastor, but also as a preacher.’’
