The Clintons: A Friend of Rev. Wright?

Posted Mar 31st 2008 5:17PM by Alexis Stodghill Filed under: BlackSpin, Elections, Hillary Clinton By Alexis Stodghill, *BlackVoices.com
  • When my contact sent me this picture, I was pretty shocked. Yes, that is Rev. Wright, the former pastor of Barack Obama, on the left, shaking Bill Clinton's hand. And get this: My contact who sent me these documents is a "Washington Insider." She attends and creates a lot of events in D.C., and knows the kind of people who would come across documents such as these as a part of doing political business. A friend of my contact sent her these documents with the note: "President Clinton and Rev. Jeremiah Wright... at White House breakfast during the 'Monica Mess.' I have no problem with Rev. Wright. I do have a problem with Clintonian hypocrisy." Not just anyone gets invited to a White House breakfast where they can shake the hand of the President. These events are carefully engineered to curry favor with people politicos think can help them.
  • Hillary may not have chosen Wright to be her pastor, yet her husband chose to cultivate a relationship with Rev. Wright during his presidency. This fact seems to have vanished from Hillary's memory as she delivered her recent round of sound bites, criticizing Obama for his past relationship to Wright. Sounds very similar to her "I was shot at in Bosnia" way of thinking.
