I Suppose He Never Read It?

Democratic Senator and Presidential Candidate Barack Obama's left-wing media shield is strong. It has gotten him past such scandals as Rev. Wright, the "typical white person" comment, and "bittergate". Like I said in the earlier "Where There Is Smoke There Is Fire", there are many issues Obama survived in the primaries that may plague him in the general election. It seems that a Presidential Election brings all the skeleton out of the closet, and in the information age, more people get a bone to pick. I think that one thing in particular is going to play out badly for Senator Obama this fall. Obama has said that he was never present and did not know about Rev. Wright's hate speech even though he had attended the Church for over 20 years. Most people including me, found this difficult to believe. Obama is going to have to claim illiteracy as well. While doing some research, I found some stories about what the controversial Rev. Wright has printed in the Church's newsletter. While I have not heard that much about this to date, I am sure it will be prominent this fall. Obama's Church reprinted a Hamas manifesto written by Mousa Abu Marzook, that defended terrorism as legitimate resistance, refused to recognize the right of Israel to exist, and compared the terror group's official charter, which calls for the murder of Jews, to America's Declaration of Independence. How is Obama going to explain that one away. The way I see it, he has but two choices. First, he can admit that he was aware of everything that Rev. Wright said and printed over a twenty year period; election over. The second choice is to continue to lie and say he never heard anything Rev Wright said, or saw any of the Church's newsletters. This strategy will only work if Americans are dumb enough to believe it, and are willing to have a President in office who can spend 20 years in a place and not be aware of what the hell is going on there.
