It has been a very bad week for Barack Obama. His Teflon coating is proving to be much thinner than advertised. At this moment, his much-ballyhooed pristine character is under major attack on two fronts:
First, his old buddy and real estate partner, Tony Rezko is on trial in Chicago. Barack’s name has already been mentioned a couple of times, and if things get tough for old Tony, he may just throw Obama under the bandwagon to save his own skin. Barack has to know this, and it may just be affecting his sleep pattern.
Second, his minister and mentor of 20 years, Jeremiah Wright seems to have released his entire set of racist and disgusting sermons to the news media. Even the likes of Obama-loving MSNBC seems to be at least mildly offended. Obama’s response to each and every question concerning these sermons is that:
a) Wright is a crazy uncle that says things that he (Obama) doesn’t always agree with.
and...
b) Wow, he never heard Wright deliver that particular sermon, and had no idea that he ever said such a thing!
It makes a person wonder. How often did Obama really show up at this church? And, didn’t any of these crazy things the minister was saying ever come up for discussion among the parishioners? It seems incredible that Barack never knew any of this was going on right under his nose!
No, not a good week at all.
