Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-NY: “Obama Lacks Political Courage”
Email This Post
And to think, this was supposed to be a pro-Obama speech. Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-NY, traveled down to Florida to help raise political support amongst undecided or wary Jewish voters but ended up doing more harm than good, at least for Obama. I imagine McCain might dig into his funds to help extend Nadler’s visit.
Anyway, when probed about Obama’s 20 year attendance in Jeremiah A. Wright’s racist church, Trinity United Church of Christ, Nadler explained that Barack Obama “lacks political courage” to do the right thing. Wow.
“I have no personal knowledge of what I’m about to say. What I’m about to say is my guess…”
“My guess,” Nadler said, “knowing how politics works, what I’m about to say is not particularly…”
“…not particularly complimentary towards Sen. Obama,” he says.
“Think of the history here,” says the six-term New York congressman. “You have a guy who’s half-white, half-black. He goes to an Ivy League school, comes to Chicago … to start a political career. Doesn’t know anybody.
“Gets involved with community organizing — why? Because that’s how your form a base. OK. Joins the largest church in the neighborhood. About 8,000 members. … Why did he join the church? … Because that’s how you get to know people.
“Now maybe it takes a couple years,” Nadler says, suggesting that soon Obama starts to think of Wright, “’Jesus, the guy’s a nut, the guy’s a lunatic.’ But you don’t walk out of a church with 8,000 members in your district.”
Suggests a woman: “You don’t walk in though.”
“He didn’t know it when he walked in, presumably,” said Nadler.
And then, the line that may haunt Nadler for four years or longer: “He didn’t have the political courage to make the statement of walking out.
So when Iran is threatening the survival of Israel, I wonder if Obama will just go with the flow instead of risking the chance of offending a dictatorship regime, you know, because he “lacks political courage.”
