Rev. Wright at National Press Club – a PLANNED DISASTER?

 Errol Louis of the NY Daily News wrote an interesting piece today – Is Jeremiah Wright a colossal disaster for Barack Obama or a press trick?   

Before Rev. Jeremiah Wright spoke at the National Press Club on Monday, he sat and chatted with the events organizer, Barbara Reynolds.  What has prompted this article is the fact that Barbara Reynolds happens to be an ordained minister and a staunch Hillary Clinton supporter!!  Is there a hint of sabotage of the Obama campaign, perhaps? 

On a blog linked to her Web site- www.reynoldsnews.com- Reynolds said in a February post: “My vote for Hillary in the Maryland primary was my way of saying thank you” to Clinton and her husband for the successes of Bill Clinton’s presidency.

The same post criticized Obama’s “Audacity of Hope” theme: “Hope by definition is not based on facts,” wrote Reynolds. It is an emotional expectation. Things hoped for may or may not come. But help based on experience trumps hope every time.”  

In another blog entry, Reynolds gives an ever-sharper critique of Obama: “It is a sad testimony that to protect his credentials as a unifier above the fray, the senator is fueling the media characterization that Rev. Dr. Wright is some retiring old uncle in the church basement.”

I don’t know if Reynolds’ eagerness to help Wright stage a disastrous news conference with the national media was a way of trying to help Clinton – my queries to Reynolds by phone and e-mail weren’t returned yesterday – but it’s safe to say she didn’t see any conflict between promoting Wright and supporting Clinton.

The in-fight in the Dem. continues…
