Wright place, wrong time

Seems like the Reverend Jeremiah Wright has been around, and if Barack Obama is elected, he won't be the first president Wright has been associated with.

Here's a photo of Wright (behind the IV stand) attending President Johnson prior to surgery when Wright was a Marine corpsman (that's right, the unpatriotic Wright a former Marine).

And here's a shot of Bill Clinton with Wright on the day Bill Clinton "confessed" his sin of blowjoberry to a group of clergy visiting the White House (that right, Wright the minister, a witness to Clinton frailties).

So, the renegade clergyman has been embraced by a few more folks than we thought.

For a fairly deep analysis of the context of both Rev. Wright's opinions, and of Obama's response, this commentary is definitely worth a read: History Unfolding: A Turning Point (3-22-08).
