President Obama's former, 20 year Pastor granted the New York Post an eyeopening interview where he tells the Post that Team Obama had offered him a bribe to not publicly speak until after the election.
Its an astonishing interview that shows just how Chicago style politics works, in Obama's world.
‘Man, the media ate me alive,” Wright told me when we met in his office at Chicago’s Kwame Nkrumah Academy. “After the media went ballistic on me, I received an e-mail offering me money not to preach at all until the November presidential election.”
“It was from one of Barack’s closest friends.”
“He offered you money?”
“Not directly,” Wright said. “He sent the offer to one of the members of the church, who sent it to me.”
“How much money did he offer you?”
“One hundred and fifty thousand dollars,” Wright said.
“Did Obama himself ever make an effort to see you?”
“Yes,” Wright said. “Barack said he wanted to meet me in secret, in a secure place. And I said, ‘You’re used to coming to my home, you’ve been here countless times, so what’s wrong with coming to my home?’ So we met in the living room of the parsonage of Trinity United Church of Christ, at South Pleasant Avenue right off 95th Street, just Barack and me. I don’t know if he had a wire on him. His security was outside somewhere.

Reminds me of that old Rush Limbaugh parody, "Crouching Democrat, Hidden Agenda!"
True, Kurt.
This is a sure fired agenda of the Chicago political machine, hard at work with the US money printing presses.
Apparently the rev. Wright didn't take kindly to being tossed under the bus by Barry! Love it!
Ya think there might be a chance that the Rev might not vote for Obama this go around?
NAW, it would be wishful thinking, I guess.
