Well, sort of.
I think it is absolutely ludicrous that Barack Obama give any sort of weight to this argument that he should have to apologize for his preacher.
If my father were to run for political office, would he have to apologize for things Rush Limbaugh said. I mean, he listens every day, so doesn’t that make him responsible for the fat, drug addicts words?
If I were to run for office, would it be assumed that I would have sex publicly (perhaps on the inauguration stage) because my eyes before might have glimpsed a porn or two? By this logic supporting the argument for Barack’s apologies, it would be logical to then assume that I am hung like Ron Jeremy.
It’s one of the feeblest political tactics to ever be so successful.
And one of the worst portions is when I see clips of this Reverend Wright and his “seditious” statements, they are generally quotes where he says horrid, unAmerican and untruthful things. Such as blaming American foreign policy for 9/11. Sure, Osama bin Laden, the man we agree is the mastermind, has clearly said it was American foreign policy, but that doesn’t mean it is OK for an American to say it.
Let alone a lively, black reverend.
While I am glad Barack made such an earthquaking speech about racism, I am appalled that it was assumed he should make apologies for someone else.
Because I am certainly not hung like Ron Jeremy.
