If this doesn't demonstrate the lengths or perhaps depths obama will plumb to win I don't know what does. If you were watching something other than obama's Flying Monkey media show in 08 you know who the good Rev. Wright is and what he's all about and know what a disaster he could have been for the campaign if he and obama's other odd ties had been investigated as they most certainly would have been if he had been a Republican. Well after the storm broke and the spin had been spun the good Rev. Wright largely went silent and I actually wondered about that then and thought he was doing it out of respect for obama so as to not hurt the campaign. It turns out it may have been more an issue of money rather than respect. According to a story in the New York Post the Rev. Wright claims he was offered 150,000 to shut up ....did he take it ? The story doesn't say but he did largely disappear in 08, you can draw your own conclusions. My personal opinion after watching obama and his traveling clown car for the last several years is that it was probably the best 150,000 he ever spent.
The ‘bribe’ to silence Wright

When sermons of Obama’s Chicago pastor, Jeremiah Wright, surfaced during the Iowa primaries, it threatened to derail Obama’s campaign. ABC aired one where Wright screamed, “Goddamn America!” Edward Klein interviewed Wright, who told him Obama’s team tried to buy his silence.
‘Man, the media ate me alive,” Wright told me when we met in his office at Chicago’s Kwame Nkrumah Academy. “After the media went ballistic on me, I received an e-mail offering me money not to preach at all until the November presidential election.”
“Who sent the e-mail?” I asked Wright. “It was from one of Barack’s closest friends.”
