Whatever happened to Jeremiah Wright?

 

You never hear Obama or Michelle mention Jeremiah Wright anymore, but it would not surprise me if he suddenly becomes a frequent White House visitor after the inauguration. I recently came across a quote on the influence that Jeremiah Wright had on Obama, and I don't think Obama just let that influence disappear -- I think he just played it quietly until he could be re-elected.

 

Here's the scary quote from the Reverend Frederick D. Haynes III: "Whenever you get excited about the eloquence coming out of the White House, remember he did not get that from Harvard, Columbia or Hawaii. He got that because for 20 years he was blessed to be exposed to the scholarship, the genius and the spirit of  . . . the Rev. Jeremiah Wright."
