This will be interesting.

Although Wright delivered what was billed as his final sermon last month on his path to retirement, prior to his departure he delivered commentary from the pulpit now being scrutinized in which he praised Obama.

“There is a man here who can take this country in a new direction,” Wright said during his Jan. 13 sermon, according to recordings obtained by FOX News.

It was not the first time Wright appeared to endorse Obama, who was baptized at Trinity United, has been an active member of the church for two decades and receives spiritual mentorship from Wright.

The title of Obama’s second book, “The Audacity of Hope,” was taken from a sermon by Wright.

During a Christmas sermon, Wright tried to compare Obama’s upbringing to Jesus at the hands of the Romans.

“Barack knows what it means living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people,” Wright said. “Hillary would never know that.

“Hillary ain’t never been called a n_gger. Hillary has never had a people defined as a non-person.”

In his Jan. 13 sermon, Wright said:

“Hillary is married to Bill, and Bill has been good to us. No he ain’t! Bill did us, just like he did Monica Lewinsky. He was riding dirty.”

The article characterizes Pastor Wright's comments as problematic in a legal sense, which I find both ridiculous and appalling. The man is an American and he has the right to express his opinion, even if it is over the pulpit. Furthermore, I don't find anything particularly objectionable in what he says--the comments about the Clintons are objectively true.

The real problem with his remarks is their repercussions for the Obama campaign. Pastor Wright appears to have done more to advance the Clinton race agenda than anything they could have managed by themselves.

Obama is on the road to nomination victory specifically because until very recently, he wasn't seen as a "black candidate". Now his race is unavoidably a central aspect of his campaign. He is the black candidate, the putative black president and not surprisingly, it has been the liberal-progressive fascination with tokenism and victim politics that has inexorably dragged him back from the threshold of a post-racial era.

History has recorded the Democrats special talent for rescuing defeat from the jaws of victory. It seems that they are well on their way to doing it again.
