I think Reverand Wright wants to see Obama actually lose the Presidency.
On Monday, Wright criticized the U.S. government as imperialist and stood by his suggestion that the United States invented the HIV virus as a means of genocide against minorities. "Based on this Tuskegee experiment and based on what has happened to Africans in this country, I believe our government is capable of doing anything," he said.
And perhaps even worse for Obama, Wright suggested that the church congregant secretly concurs.
"If Senator Obama did not say what he said, he would never get elected," Wright said. "Politicians say what they say and do what they do based on electability, based on sound bites, based on polls."
He not only repeated his conspiracy theories he also says that Obama deep down agrees with him and is hiding his true feelings to get elected. I'm sure there were lots of anti-Obama people that were feeling that but now his "spiritual mentor" is actually saying it.
Perhaps, Wright is trying to scuttle Obama's campaign just so he could continue to say "America will never elect a black man because we are racist." If Obama does win then his worldview will be shattered. So Wright is trying to hold onto his hate at all costs even if it destroys his parishioner. A black man in the highest job in the world challenges all of Wrights prejudices and deeply held beliefs about America.
