Rev.Wright Implies Obama’s Criticisms Of Him Made For Political Reasons; Not Sincere!

Barack Obama has some more explaining to do about the wrong Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
In an interview on PBS with Bill Moyers, Wright was asked about his controversial, racist and anti-American remarks when he was pastor of Obama’s Chicago church, Trinity United Church of Christ.
And, he was also asked about Obama’s criticisms of those remarks, given after the Democratic presidential candidate faced enormous pressure.
Wright implied that Obama’s criticisms were somewhat less than sincere:
“He says what he has to say as a politician. I say what I have to say as a pastor. But, they’re two different worlds.”
So, since he has been friends with Obama for decades, does he know something about Obama’s sincerity that we do not? Probably.
Won’t back down
While Wright says he has been unfairly portrayed as a fanatic, he remained unapologetic for his remarks.
But, the key question now is: Did Obama distance himself from his friend because he really believes his friend is wrong? Or, did he do so because he figured that is what people want to hear in order to vote for him for President?
We need to know!

Interesting Presidential Campaign here 2008. It appears that Sen. Obama will win the Democratic candidate to run against Sen. McCain. As we all know red tape and time an investigation at the US Senate Ethic level takes.
Did you know that many highly respected US Politicians have stated the following:
That when a member, [as Sen. J. William Fulbright stated in the U.S. Senate in the early 1950s], that when a Senator’s gives the “implied behavior of The Moral Deterioration of American Democracy”, that that is a violate the Senate Code of Ethics.
In the early 1950s Sen. J. Williams Fulbright talked about “The Moral Deterioration of American Democracy”. He further states, “What should be done about men….. Which offend the spirit of the law, but do not violate its letter”? Sen. Fulbright elaborated further as follows; “One of the most distributing aspects of this problem of moral conduct is the revelation that among so many influence people, morality has become identical with legality. We certainly in a tragic plight if the accepted standard by which we measure the integrity of a man in public life is that he keep within the letter of the law.”
In 1950s a Task Force of house members, like Hal Hoggs and Gerald Ford drafted a propose code. “Precede any code of concrete conduct” which core was that “public office is a public trust” 97 Cong. Rec. 7176 (1951). They stated. “No code of conduct can hope to cover specifically the multitude of concrete situations which complex and vast sphere of contemporary government contains within itself”.
Chapter I, Under Introduction, it states: The U.S. Constitution, in article I, section 5, grants broad authority to Congress to discipline its members.
The committee which investigated Sen. Joeseph McCarthy stated the approached this distasteful task as follows:
“We begin with the premise that the Senate of the United States is a responsible political body, important in the maintaining of our free institution. Its Members are expected to conduct themselves with proper respect for the principles of ethics and morality, for senatorial customs based on tradition, and with due respect of the Senate as the highest legislative body in the Nation….”
As stated in the Senate Ethic Code, Chapter I, section C Jurisdiction of the Committee, the 83rd Congress the following was stated:
“Its seems clear that if a Senator should be guilty of reprehensible conduct unconnected with his official duties and position, which conduct brings the Senate into disrepute, the Senate has the power to censure”
As all it takes is the appearance of un-moral conduct while still staying within the letter of the law. Before the General election, the Republicans may have something to guarantee the President will be a Republican?
