Listening to news tonight, something occurred to me about Jeremiah Wright

I highly doubt I'll get any political analyst job out of my ideas : -), but I have some thoughts really burning tonight...

I was driving around tonight looking for stuff for a little lighting and cable job I've been doing in my house the last few weeks. The radio is wall to wall Obama and "Reverend" Wright.

My first thought after hearing Obama's reaction to the talk his "pastor" gave today was that Obama has to be on the phone with him saying "Man, you gotta just shut up and go away if you want a black man to be President!"

That's when it struck me, that's the antithesis of men like Jeremiah Wright. He doesn't want Obama to get elected, and he doesn't care if he hurts Obama! The LAST thing he wants is for Obama or ANY black man to be elected President. Like Farrakhan, Sharpton, Jackson, Rangle, Julian Bond, Cornel West, (and who's the Banana Boat guy?) et al, he has his own agenda.

The really interesting thing I think is that "Reverend" Wright may not even realize it himself, and if asked, would likely deny it, but would probably be evasive and ask something like "Did you listen to the whole sermon? Well, that nullifies THAT question!" The closest analogy I can give is the way the spouse of an addict (drunk, gambler, whatever), will subconsciously manipulate and sabotage things to actually sabotage the drunk if he/she manages to get some kind of help and start down the path of sobriety (someday I should complete that 3rd BS in Abnormal Psychology...) The spouse is him or herself addicted to chaos, and will try all kinds of things to return the relationship to comfortable and familiar chaos.

"Reverend" Wright has personal, financial, emotional, and political reasons to keep the pot stirred up and to be able to thunder on about "The US of KKK-A"!

The day a black man is elected POTUS, he and all those named above are suddenly out of jobs (and their identity—that’s who they are; that is the very essence of their being, even if it is just a big empty hole right through the middle of ‘em).

So I think Obama's judgment is suffering on this front as well, and no one is talking about it. But hide and watch--we have not seen nor heard the last of "Reverend" Wright. He is now hurting Obama, but he will not be quiet, and he will not go away.

Another possibility is that Obama is thinking ahead more moves than I can in Chess, and this is all part of some scheme he and "Reverend" Wright are both party to. I don't know how this ultimately helps him--I suck at Chess, but it's my skeptical side and just a suspicion I have.
