All The Wright Stuff

I don't usually subscribe to conspiracy theories, but this doesn't make sense. on the one hand we have a guy who is evil and apparently very selfish in the person of Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and on the other we have a angry opportunist who would sell his soul for the Presidency in the person of Barack Obama. And the two are supposed to be like white on rice in their personal lives... I mean... like black on beans.

So what explains Wright's seeming refusal to keep a low profile at least until the people have voted in November? Is he really so mean and self-centered that he's willing to destroy any chance for Obama to be elected simply because he fancies himself to be some sort of savior to the black community? He certainly possesses enough hate, but what would he gain?

Just this moment, they started speculating on Fox & Friends as to Wright's reasons for being so outrageously provocative the week before another crucial vote?

Well, here's one possibility. Barack Obama has been criticized for being inexperienced and his motives and character have recently come into question as well. But he is admired in some circles for his loyalty to Wright, and what does he get for that loyalty but an apparent kick in the teeth? 

What happens if Obama continues to maintain his loyalty and hold his tongue and Wight continues to be an embarrassment and more? Wouldn't Obama come out smelling like a rose if there were to be a final straw and he "reluctantly" had to condemn Wright in no uncertain terms? In one instant, his inexperience and wimpiness become a thing of the past, and his "good character" takes center stage. Hope is restored.

In that moment when all seemed lost, Obama fells the dragon and Camelot is saved.

It's just a thought, but I wanted to advance it because it would explain an awful lot. The idea came to me last night while my wife and I sat there speculating about what could possess Wright to be so careless and so unconcerned about his prodigy, and it finally dawned on me that he and Obama might not be as bright as some people think, but they might be more clever than anyone has imagined.

Will it work in the ultimate sense? It's hard to say. Cynics will certainly dissect all of it, and my theory will surely be raised. But it might be worth a shot given that Obama has fallen so far, so fast.

For my part, I won't be pleased to be right for the very reason that such a plan could succeed. I can see a lot of suspicion, but such a conspiracy could be very difficult to prove, and since people naturally want to assume the best, especially about a guy they pinned all their hopes on to begin with, a substantial number of voters could be won over and won back.

All the analysis on Fox & Friends has been of the sort that no one understands how Wright can do what he's doing, and everyone assumes that Wright is a renegade, but the discussion concluded with not a single other reason for Wright's actions being advanced, at least not one that makes any sense,
