The Reverend Jeremiah Wright has now been official Thrown Under the Bus:
Can Michelle be far behind? Yesterday Barack Obama stumbled stuttered and stammered his way through a speech that threw Jeremiah out the door, down the road and under the bus. But if we listen to Michelle Obama’s speeches don’t we here echoes of the gracious reverend? Her voice I have to admit last Friday night sounded much more forceful and determined when she was tearing apart the United States and the American Dream, then Obama’s shaky understated denunciation of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
Michelle is the real deal:

Obama Says This About Reverend Wright:
Before I start taking questions I want to open it up with a couple of comments about what we saw and heard yesterday. I have spent my entire adult life trying to bridge the gap between different kinds of people. That’s in my DNA, trying to promote mutual understanding to insist that we all share common hopes and common dreams as Americans and as human beings. That’s who I am. That’s what I believe. That’s what this campaign has been about.
Yesterday we saw a very different vision of America. I am outraged by the comments that were made and saddened over the spectacle that we saw yesterday. You know, I have been a member of Trinity United Church of Christ since 1992. I have known Reverend Wright for almost 20 years. The person I saw yesterday was not the person that I met 20 years ago.

Will the Day Come When Obama Has this to Say about Michelle?
Before I start taking questions I want to open it up with a couple of comments about what I think about marriage. I have spent my entire adult life married to this woman and trying to bridge the gap between us. That’s in my DNA, trying to remain married was an understanding we had to share in common our hopes and common children as man and wife. That’s who I am. That’s what I believe. That’s what this marrriage has been about.
Yesterday we saw a very different Michelle and her vision of America. I am outraged by her comments, that made me saddened over the prospects of being married to her one more day. You know, I have been married to her since 1992. I have known this woman for almost 20 years. The person I saw Friday night was not the person that I met almost 20 years ago. For the good of my party and the good of my country I denouce my wedding vows and I am ready to Move On. Org….with Hope and Progress. I only hope that you in the press core will give me time to tell my little burdens at home.
As always Michelle Malkin has something to say:
Obama’s “big press conference” on Wright: “I’m outraged by the comments that were made and saddened by the spectacle;” Wright’s remarks “a bunch of rants that aren’t grounded in truth”
Scroll down for press conference blogging…Allah’s got vid clips here
What, pray tell, could Barack Obama possibly say now to undo the damage of his two decades of bad judgment about Jeremiah Wright?
Will he weigh in on black liberation theology? Wright’s phrenological discourse? How about Wright’s defense of his comparison between the Roman soldiers who killed Jesus and the US Marine Corps?
Inquiring minds want to know.
And Hugh Hewitt has this to say about Michelle’s Speech:
Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 8:14 PM
The clips I played generated a lot of angry e-mail. Duane will post the clips here later tonight. Listen for yourself and decide whether Michelle Obama is conducting a campaign of unity and hope, or one of bitterness and anger.
Please note that due to technical issues, there is a thirty second commercial at the front of the audio.
Read about Reverend Wright, Louis Farrakhan, and Obama in this article in National Review Online:
History of Wright and Farrakhan [Stanley Kurtz]
In an earlier post, I showed that Wright’s lauding of Farrakhan as a great figure is old news. Of course, so is the tight relationship between Wright and Farrakhan. It’s been long known that Wright and Farrakhan traveled together to meet with Muammar Gaddafi in 1986. Wright also attended Farrakhan’s Million Man March in 1995, but the story goes even further.
