Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the retired pastor of Trinity United
Church of Christ in Chicago and friend of President Obama, has decided to
confide in Edward Klein, author of the unauthorized Obama biography, “The
Amateur,” that the Obama camp attempted to bribe him out of the pulpit via email
before the 2008 election.
Below is an interview Rev. Wright had with Mr. Klein about the
alleged bribe coming from the Obama camp.
The report comes straight from New York
Post:
“Who sent the e-mail?” [Klein] asked
Wright.
“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.
“And one of the first things Barack said was,
‘I really wish you wouldn’t do any more public speaking until after the November
election.’ He knew I had some speaking engagements lined up, and he said, ‘I
wish you wouldn’t speak. It’s gonna hurt the campaign if you do that.’
“And what did you say?” I asked. “I said, ‘I don’t see it that way. And anyway, how am I supposed to support my family?’ And he said, ‘Well, I wish you wouldn’t speak in public. The press is gonna eat you alive.’
“And what did you say?” I asked. “I said, ‘I don’t see it that way. And anyway, how am I supposed to support my family?’ And he said, ‘Well, I wish you wouldn’t speak in public. The press is gonna eat you alive.’
“Barack said, ‘I’m sorry you don’t see it the
way I do. Do you know what your problem is?’ And I said, ‘No, what’s my
problem?’ And he said, ‘You have to tell the truth.’ I said, ‘That’s a good
problem to have. That’s a good problem for all preachers to have. That’s why I
could never be a politician.’
“And he said, ‘It’s going to get worse if you
go out there and speak. It’s really going to get worse.’
“And he was so
right.”
BITTER MUCH REV? It seems as though Rev. Wright is coming out just in time
for the 2012 election. We are not really sure if its to blast President Obama or
is there something behind it. When all
the controversy was going on between Wright and Obama before the 2008 election,
it all seemed staged. We don’t know what to think of this, but one thing is for
sure, its a big mess!!
What do
you think? Personally I don’t believe this but if Rev Jeremiah Wright really did do this. JUST Wow
what a Man of God he really isn't!
