King had a dream, Obama has a drone, Rev. Wright says

If the Rev. Jeremiah Wright believes — as he’s claimed in the past — that he and President Barack Obama will be buddies again when he’s out of office, the firebrand preacher didn’t do himself any favors Wednesday.

Speaking at a breakfast co-hosted by the Chicago Teachers Union to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, Wright said that while the civil rights leader proclaimed “I have a dream,” Obama says, “I have a drone.”

Wright, Obama’s former pastor, called for King’s “revolution of values” and a rejection of the “three-headed demon” of “racism, militarism and capitalism” — the foundations of Western society, he said.

“Every Tuesday morning, there’s a kill list that the president decides who they’re going to kill this week,” Wright said.

2. Throwing people under the bus is dangerous for everyone concerned.

6. Since the 2008 election there has been a bitterness between the two

that is pretty well known. For Wright to go after President Obama shouldn't surprise anyone.

[polichick]

9. Yeah, funny how people don't like being tossed under the bus.

7. Why should he GO AWAY!!! he's a citizen of this country concern about this drone shit

He's right I don't have a problem with the use of some drones but they are OVER KILL!!! with the drone program.Imagine if a Christ Christie is the next President using this drone program with the same people who are in his current Governorship cabinate

8. Hey, sorry......shouldn't listen to faux noise anyway.

I agree, overkill. Sorry

10. Martin Luther King Jr. Was Not the President

Comparing a speech to the responsibility of being president is silly.

Martin Luther King Jr. was a great man, but he did not have to deal with the issues that Obama does.
