Obama was on the campaign trail a few days ago, criticising McCain for allegedly revising his health care plan. He sneered at McCain for only starting to understand the issue of health care well into the campaign. Changing the particulars of a proposed plan is far different than changing core principles. Obama willfully obfuscated that distinction.
Rather than being angry at Obama for his sanctimonious criticism, I am actually grateful. Because Barack Obama changed his mind not after a season in the campaign but after twenty years. For many years, Obama said he was not in church when Reverend Wright said hateful things about white people and most infamously cursed America after 9/11. Even when his church gave Louis Farrakhan a "Lifetime Achievement" award, Obama stood by them.
Obama quit Reverend Wright's church early in the presidential campaign. After getting married and christening two children in the church, some cynics were saying that he "threw Reverend Wright under the bus." I have been giving him the benefit of the doubt, thinking perhaps that the smorgasbord at the church was better than the sermons.
After Obama's harsh criticism of McCain, I felt it was time to likewise criticise Barry for being slow to learn from his mistakes. Now a video has surfaced that seems to debunk my smorgasbord hypothesis about Obama's loyalty to Reverend Wright.
