Glad to see Obama is keeping his distance from his friend, mentor, and "uncle".

While I'm an Episcopalian, my wife's family is mainly Jewish ("its complicated")... so I'm a fan of Israel. And so if ol'Jeremiah has been preaching this garbage for the past 20 years.. how in the Hell can Obama legitimately claim he didn’t have any knowledge that his Pastor preached this Hate while he was a member of that “church”?

Other things the link didn't show you..

Quote:The Rev. Jeremiah Wright says he does not feel any regrets over his severed relationship with President Barack Obama, a former member of the Chicago church in which Wright was the longtime pastor.

Regret for what ... that the media went back five, seven, 10 years and spent $4,000 buying 20 years worth of sermons to hear what I’ve been preaching for 20 years?

“Regret for preaching like I’ve been preaching for 50 years? Absolutely none,” Wright said in an interview late Tuesday.

Asked if he had spoken to the President, Wright said: “Them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he’ll talk to me in five years when he’s a lame duck, or in eight years when he’s out of office. ...

“They will not let him to talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is.... I said from the beginning: He’s a politician; I’m a pastor. He’s got to do what politicians do.”

Wright also said Obama should have sent a U.S. delegation to the World Conference on Racism held recently in Geneva, Switzerland, but that the president did not do so for fear of offending Jews and Israel.

“Ethnic cleansing is going on in Gaza. Ethnic cleansing (by) the Zionist is a sin and a crime against humanity, and they don’t want Barack talking like that because that’s anti-Israel,” Wright said.

Must have slept through the sermons.

In his Cairo speech, it seemed he gave Israel a bit of a cold shoulder. I wonder if there is a connection?

I'm not quite sure who Wright is referring to when he says "they". The Democrats? His foreign policy advisors? His political advisors?
