Is the Obama Campaign Orchestrating These Weird Episodes by Blacks and Others

Is the Obama Campaign Orchestrating These Weird Episodes by Blacks and Others to Make Him Look Normal and More Like the Majority Community?

MEDIA ADVISORY, Aug. 1 /Christian Newswire/ -- I am an African-American Christian, but I find it strange that Barack Obama could suffer so many unfortunate events by his own people who are suppose to be ecstatic about him possibly becoming the first black president of these United States of America.

First, there was the strange "showing out" by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright at the National Press Club, after he had been embarrassed for cussing out America from God's pulpit. I found it very odd for a man who has an earned Doctorate to behave like a seventeen year old, defending himself in a high school yard.

Then there was the Catholic priest, who, by the way, preaches just as good as any black Baptist preacher, who went into Trinity United Church of Christ (Barack Obama's home church and Wright's former pastorate) and cussed Hillary Clinton out in God's pulpit.

Then there was our dear friend, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who threatened to cut off the presidential candidate's "manhood" on national television, and on FOX at that. And in the same conversation, he called us "niggers". You talk about an unfortunate event. I find it hard to believe that a man of Rev. Jackson's sophistication would be that dumb to say such things on national television or anywhere else for that matter, without getting some reward.

Another recent unfortunate event comes through the "genius" Ludacris, who thought he should help the presidential candidate by calling the former first lady a bitch and disparaging McCain in his rap song that praises Obama. I refuse to believe that the "genius" Ludacris is that dumb.

Finally, we come to this asinine episode of today with some young black dudes holding up a perfectly designed sign, heckling Barack Obama about paying more attention to black issues. Now this one was just plain stupid to me. And I find it hard to believe they did this without some coaching by the Obama camp, because even though Barack Obama has made some mistakes, balancing the race issue is not one of them.

What's next people to prove that Obama is one of them? Rev. Al Sharpton and the NAACP marching against Obama for trying to be the president of all of America and not just Black America?
