Update: Let's see if we can drag some more people in with a funny title.

Wright treats a president of the United States.

So it looks like Jeremiah Wright recieved commendation for tending to LBJ while he was a marine medical technician.

I wonder how this can be construed as him hating America.  Let's find out.

Obama's Trinity United Chuch of Christ in early July 2007 published a Hamas terror manifesto in the Pastor's Bulletin of the Church newsletter. The pages from the pastor's column were published in the Los Angeles Times on July 10, 2007 The Hamas manifesto compared itself to the American Declaration of Independence. Israeli security officials have for some time been anxious about Obama advisor Robert Malley,who has advocated negotiating with Hamas.

According to Aaron Klein of World Net Daily,  a conservative online news source

JERUSALEM - Sen. Barack Obama's Chicago church reprinted a manifesto by Hamas that defended terrorism as legitimate resistance, refused to recognize the right of Israel to exist and compared the terror group's official charter - which calls for the murder of Jews - to America's Declaration of Independence.

The Hamas piece was published on the "Pastor's Page" of the Trinity United Church of Christ newsletter reserved for Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., whose anti-American, anti-Israel remarks landed Obama in hot water, prompting the presidential candidate to deliver a major race speech earlier this week.

The revelation follows a recent WND article quoting Israeli security officials who expressed "concern" about Robert Malley, an adviser to Obama who has advocated negotiations with Hamas and providing international assistance to the terrorist group.

Obama supporter Matthew Yglesias writes:

[Wright will] hurt him electorally because Obama's going to have a hard time explaining what I take to be the truth, namely that his relationship with Trinity has been a bit cynical from the beginning. After all, before Obama was a half-black guy running in a mostly white country he was a half-white guy running in a mostly black neighborhood. At that time, associating with a very large, influential, local church with black nationalist overtones was a clear political asset (it's also clear in his book that it made him, personally, feel "blacker" to belong to a slightly kitschy black church). Since emerging onto a larger stage, it's been the reverse and Obama's consistently sought to distance himself from Wright, disinviting him from his campaign's launch, analogizing him to a crazy uncle who you love but don't listen to, etc. The closest analogy would probably be to Hillary Clinton's inconsistent accounting of where she's from (bragging about midwestern roots when trying to win in Iowa, promptly forgetting those roots when explaining away a loss in Illinois, developing a sporadic affection for New York sports teams) -- banal, mildly cynical shifts of association as context changes.
