Question

Why after the videos didnt Jeremiah Wright keep his mouth shut?

Answer 1

Some people want to be famous and Wright found his niche. Now he will never shut up. He enjoys the attention he has gotten, something he never thought would happen.  He may only have a moment in the spotlight,but it was just enough for him.

Answer 2

I have some very strong opinions about this but will keep them to myself as this is not a political forum but genealogy forum as Itjustme stated.

When you get into Yahoo Q & A, to the left are categories and once you probe the categories you will find sub categories.  Since you are new to Yahoo Q & A, I feel you are asking your question from the Home page and the Yahoo computer system is picking the category for you. There is a category for Politics and Government and under it a subcategory for Politics.  You will probably find it is a very nasty board like the Religion and Spirituality Board.  

When people are anonymous they lose their civility.

Answer 3

This is the genealogy forum, I think you may have posted in the wrong forum, and in doing so you are in breach of the yahoo community guidelines.

Answer 4

because he wanted to defend himself and by doing so i think made the situation a whole lot worse. he cared more about his public image than helping out his friend obama. i dont like him and i dont know why obama respects (or used to respect) him. its obvious hes trying to keep his distance from him due to political reasons. my question is how much his sermons have influenced how obama thinks? that's why i prefer hilary now cause of him, although i will vote for obama still if she cannot get the nomination. anybody is better than mccain.

Answer 5

He's not sane, in my opinion, and anyone that went or goes to his church and listens to that is not sane. Barack Obama knew Wright said that stuff, he went there for 20 years, how do you go to a church for 20 years and not notice that stuff or leave because of it? UNLESS you BELIEVE and AGREE with it! New politics? Sounds like the old divide and conquer politics to me.

Answer 6

He felt the media took his comments out of context to make a monster out of him...and he wanted to defend himself against that. You can't really blame him for feeling that way. The unfortunate thing is that in opening his mouth he almost cost Obama the nomination...and might still cost him the election.
