I'm one of those "PLEDGED DELEGATES" that Hillary has been talking about the past few days. I'm at the lowest rung on the latter but I'm not about to change my vote for any reason.

I was voted to go as a caucus member by my neighbors with the FULL UNDERSTANDING that I would vote for Obama. That's what I said I would do and that's EXACTLY WHAT I WILL DO.

I'm not interested in playing games saying one thing and doing another. I think Hillary is starting to hurt the democrats. That's not a good thing.

Besure to watch today's Worst Person on WAL_MART you'll just shake your head.

THEY WON'T TELL YOU THIS

I'm putting together this email about how I see things regarding this Rev. Wright CRAP. It just pisses me off that journalist can't seem to provide some BALANCE on this issue. I wonder how many people know any of these facts about the Rev. Wright.

I keep hearing that the "BLUE COLLER" worker wants to know this stuff. Well if that is true I'm pretty sure in today's world most have a computer and connection to the internet and as I say below it only took me a couple of minutes to find out some info that I didn't know about this issue.

You LAZY ASS JOURNALIST and PUNDITS make your BLOOD MONEY the easiest way possible. You get on a story that has been carefully created together out of 9 or 10 twenty second sound bites and suggest that represents the life work of Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

You give NO BACKGROUND, NO CONTEXT just the endless loop of these half dozen or so clips. One would think that in a 24/7 News day you could find a few minutes to provide this background/context. Well silly me I'm thinking about what honest hardworking people do not you LAZY JOURNALIST.

Here is just a little information that you couldn't seem to find or missed. See below for full explanation of the three points.

1.) Rev. Wright's Education, military service, and achievements:

Well it took all of about 2-3 minutes for me to load my Browser and key in Wrights name and push enter. How hard was that? You should try it yourself.

One thing I learned from my search is that this is not a dumb guy and he did serve in the Marines and the Navy. Wonder if Dick Cheney ever served?

2.) Career as minister:

When Rev. Wright became pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ there were only 87 members. Today I've heard that number is around 8,000.

Wright has received three presidential commendations from President Lyndon B. Johnson and was named one of Ebony magazine's top fifteen preachers.

3.) Relationship with Barack Obama:

Barack Obama first met Wright and joined his church in the 1980s. If he's been running for president since the 1980s he's got a much better vision for the future than most don't you think?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

1.) Rev. Wright's Education, military service, and achievements:

From 1959 to 1961, Wright attended Virginia Union University,[1] an historically black school in Richmond. He then joined the United States Marine Corps and served in the 2nd Marine Division with the rank of private first class. He subsequently transferred to the United States Navy and entered the Corpsman School at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center, where he graduated as valedictorian in 1963[5]. He was trained as cardiopulmonary technician at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland and graduated as salutatorian in 1967[5].

Wright then enrolled at Howard University in Washington, D.C., where he received a bachelor's degree in 1968 and a master's degree in English in 1969. He served on the Board of Directors for the Malcolm X School of Nursing from 1974 until 1979[5]. He also earned a master's degree from the University of Chicago Divinity School. [5]Wright holds a Doctor of Ministry degree (1990) from the United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio, where he studied under Samuel DeWitt Proctor.

How hard was that? Well it took me all of about 2-3 minutes for me to load my Browser and key in Wrights name and push enter. You should try it yourself.

2.) Career as minister:

Wright became pastor of the Trinity United Church of Christ on March 1, 1972, at a time when its membership was only 87 members. [1] Wright has received a Rockefeller Fellowship, and has also been a professor at Chicago Theological Seminary, Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary and other educational institutions. Wright has also served as the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Black Theology Project, and as a member of the Board of Trustees of Virginia Union University and of the City Colleges of Chicago. Wright has received seven honorary doctorate degrees, including from Colgate University, Valparaiso University, United Theological Seminary and Chicago Theological Seminary. [5] Wright, who began the "Ministers in Training" ("M.I.T.") program at Trinity United Church of Christ, has been a national leader in promoting theological education and the preparation of seminarians for the African-American church.[6] Wright has received three presidential commendations from President Lyndon B. Johnson[5] and was named one of Ebony magazine's top fifteen preachers.[7]

3.) Relationship with Barack Obama:

Barack Obama, a candidate for the Democratic nomination for president, first met Wright and joined his church in the 1980s, while he was working as a community organizer in Chicago before attending Harvard Law School.[8] Obama and his wife, Michelle, were later married by Wright, and both their children were baptized by him.[9] The title of Obama's memoir, The Audacity of Hope, was inspired by one of Wright's sermons[8] and he credits Wright with strengthening his faith.[9]

The public invocation before Obama's presidential announcement was scheduled to be given by Wright, but Obama withdrew the invitation the night before the event.[10] Wright wrote a rebuttal letter to the editor disputing the characterization of the account as reported in the New York Times article.[11]

In late 2007, Wright was appointed to Barack Obama's African American Religious Leadership Committee, a group of over 170 national black religious leaders who supported Obama's bid for the Democratic nomination;[12] however, it was announced in March 2008 that Wright was no longer serving as a member of this group.[13]
