When the Obama camp tried to spin his close relationship with "Reverend" Write as a casual one, I pointed out that Obama’s own book lays out his strategy of appearing to be one thing, while hiding how he really feels. Now Wright himself weighs in and lets us know that it’s all good, he knows Barack is just going to say whatever he needs to say.
REVEREND WRIGHT:
It went down very simply. He’s a politician, I’m a pastor. We speak to
two different audiences. And he says what he has to say as a
politician. I say what I have to say as a pastor. But they’re two
different worlds.I do what I do. He does what politicians do. So that what happened in
Philadelphia where he had to respond to the sound bytes, he responded as
a politician.REVEREND WRIGHT:
No. No. No. Absolutely not.I don’t talk to him about politics. And so he had a political event, he
goes out as a politician and says what he has to say as a politician. I
continue to be a pastor who speaks to the people of God about the things
of God.
