It’s that time again… my company’s bi-annual trade-show is this weekend and it’s my job to check badges (otherwise I wouldn’t be up before 5:00!). I’m hoping to possibly snag some pics this year, as I’ve missed out every other year, so we’ll have to see what happens.
Sadly on days like this I’m going to miss anything news worthy, so I’m hoping it’ll be a slow news day. For those wanting something to tide them over… how about this, Obama now says (in a nutshell) that he didn’t realize his pastor was crazy because he never heard sermons like that when he went (link):
Wright was, but is no longer, a member of one of the Obama campaign’s advisory committees. Wright has not been active in campaign, Obama said, and with the pastor retiring from the pulpit Obama said he doesn’t see an issue in his family remaining part of the congregation.
“If I thought that was the repeated tenor of the church then I wouldn’t feel comfortable, but frankly that has not been my experience at Trinity United Church of Christ.
Aparently Wright hasn’t been active in the campaign either. Really, Barack, who is active in the campaign? Whenever something like this happens they’re either “not part of my paid staff” or “not active” or something. Does anyone work for you? Well, I know who pays you… apparently Tony Rezko has been givin’ you more than you said before:
But in a 90-minute interview with Tribune reporters and editors, Obama disclosed that Rezko had raised more for Obama’s earlier political campaigns than previously known, gathering as much as $250,000 for the first three offices he sought.
Oops! I’m sure it was “just a mistake” because he was “young and inexperienced”, right guys? Right? It was his first day on the job, right? Can’t blame the new guy!
