Caroline Glick: Obama and Me
She is an excellent writer and this is an especially devastating commentary on the Obamessiah, don't y'all agree?The Quality of Obama's Character I grew up on the south side of Chicago in the 1970s and 1980s so I have a bit of local interest in Senator Barack Obamas race for the White House. Obama and his family live in my old neighborhood, Hyde Park. My siblings and I all attended our local public high school Kenwood Academy. Obamas wife Michelle went to Whitney Young High School. The city swimming championship was always held there. My older brothers were members of Kenwoods swim team. Aside from its swimming pool, I never saw much of Whitney Young. It was a magnet school. But my parents always said that didnt mean much. All of Chicagos public schools were basically horrible. Obamas denunciation of Wrights bigotry amounts to too little too late. The time to stand up to him wasnt now, when his association with Wright is sinking his hopes for the White House. The time to have stood up to Wright was when Obama was just another member of his church. If he truly believes in what he says he believes, he should have walked out of Wrights church or grabbed Wrights microphone and told his fellow churchgoers that Wright was wrong and that they mustnt hate. In twenty years of attending Wrights church, why didnt Obama once stand before his fellow church members and tell them that they mustnt hate their country and their fellow Americans? The fact that he didnt, and the fact that he upheld this man until just a few months ago as his spiritual mentor and still refuses to condemn him and his deeply flawed character tells me everything I need to know about Barack Obama. I think that he is an opportunistic, weak man. I hope and pray that he doesnt become President. Posted by: Brett 2008-03-19 |
