Black and Red

President Barack Hussein Obama sat in the pews of the church of one Reverend Jeremiah Wright for more than twenty years, yet somehow, Obama contends he missed the black liberation theology message, which is both separatist and Marxist, that pervades that South side of Chicago church. The contention that Obama managed to absent himself from services every time controversy was broached, defies imagination. To Obama, Wright was a father-figure but Obama supposedly only knew the church as any other black church, a Gospel-preaching bedrock of the black family and community. Recently, Reverend Wright, who had gone to ground to deflect his association with Obama while Obama was running, reemerged to speak, and Wright was captured on video as saying the atheist theory of Marxism and his view of Jesus were not incompatible. In fact, the Reverend Wright saw the social justice and redistributionist Red stream as essential missions for his church to promote, but somehow in all his years of faithful attendance, President Obama never heard an inkling of this.
