Waiting for the other shoe to drop.......

Wondering whether Wright is going to respond to Obama's comments today. God I hope not. If so the story will continue.

You think he will?

1. I don't. I think they spoke and agreed Sen. Obama had to do what he did.

Rev. Wright sorely underestimated the hateful press. Wright is used to adulation from parishioners, and most black pastors of mega churches that I know have tremendous egos.

I'm just sorry it had to come to this and pray this is the end between to two of them.

3. Good point.

You kind of do have to have a huge ego to preach at a mega-church. No place for a shrinking violet. lol

Hopefully Wright will keep in mind John 15:13 "No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends."

10. Amen.

4. Trust me no just the Black pastors! I have one of those living across the street...

and he acts like God himself! It may come with the job...the bigger the church, the bigger the ego.

9. LOL! Exactly.

2. Wright needs to get off the stage. nt

12. Why?

5. Based on the ego that was on display yesterday...

it is a reasonable concern. It's a risk to piss someone off who was close to you for twenty years and may have some harmful info on you.

7. I keep hearing that they were "so close" for 20 years

and I really don't buy it. How many people who've gone to the same church for 20 years are that close to their pastor? You see him maybe once a week for an hour or two. Maybe you have pancake dinner with him once a month with the 8,000 other parishioners; you have a private prayer session with him once in a while too.

I don't consider that to be an especially close relationship. I think that aspect to the story has been incredibly overblown.

8. In general I agree

Most people are not that close with their pastor. But I believe that it is justifiable to say that this case is different because of the way Obama spoke of Wright. He described him as family in his speech in PA. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, praised him numerous times and mentioned how Wright was his spiritual mentor in one his books.

16. By guess who?

Could his name be...Barry?

Kinda like the discussions he didn't have and parties he didn't attend during his schooldays...but wrote about anyway?

[MadBadger]

6. I dont.

[TragedyandHope]

11. Hoping not until next Wednesday

Or better yet, Wright could save his response and put it in his book.

[anonymous171]

13. That would be fucking awesome. Then Obama could repudiate him again.

Sista Souljah anyone?

[Tribetime]

15. Not if Michelle has anything to say about it.

She's on AC 360 now and she is Tough. She is letting it be known that her and Barack are moving forward and are done talking about. She also said that nobody could know what he or the media might do, but it's their jobs to focus on the issues and not distractions, and they won't talk about it anymore.

17. Thanks! Didn't know until your post that she was even on there.
