    Obama appeared on the popular radio show and podcast to promote his book "A Promised Land," which details much of his presidency, including his 2008 presidential campaign during which his connection to Wright became an issue. Wright has a history of controversial comments, including a sermon in which he said "God damn America" when referencing racial injustice.

    Further, after 9/11 he said that "America’s chickens are coming home to roost" and after Obama's inauguration blamed "them Jews" for his inability to talk to the president, according to NBC, before adding, "[h]e's a politician; I'm a pastor. He's got to do what politicians do."

    Obama heaped praise on Wright on Wednesday when asked about his relationship with the pastor by "The Breakfast Club" hosts, who have a reputation for being unafraid to get into hot-button cultural issues – earlier this year they pushed President-elect Joe Biden on race issues during an interview.

    What is the "context" of this quote from this racist bigot?



    or for racist conspiracy theories...



    Obama is just your fringe radical Leftist who hangs out with other fringe radical Leftists...

    So much desperation and so little time before the wheels no longer turn on this Trump train.

    Well, that does it. I'm not voting for Obama again.

    Oh, wait.

    Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”

    I feel really good that I started calling Obama The Prick Extraordinaire about a decade ago.

    People are really starting to catch on now.
    I choose my own words like the Americans of olden times........before this dystopia arrived.

    DARK AGES SUCK!

    Things like that aren't uncommon with fire and brimstone preachers. Anybody who has gone to one of those churches knows.

    I never paid much attention to what priests said. It was another half hour of my life I would never get back. They impacted me zero.
    Wright was a marine. Then went to the navy where he was a cardiopulmonary technician. He worked on LBJs heart in the White House.Does your rev, change your life? Why did Wright change Obama. Get off it. It is dumb. I suspect Obama is not president anymore.

    WRIGHT IS NO PRIEST. HE IS A GLARINGLY RACIST MINISTER.
