Wright speaks at Obama's Accpetance Speech

[Flippper]

I did a search and didn't see where anyone else posted this so I'm wondering...

The only tv channel I get is Fox-not the news channel. I was watching a split screen with Shepard Smith and other commentators on one side and Mr. Obama while he was giving his acceptance speech on the other. When Mr. Obama was done, they showed his family, etc. Then they show an empty stage and out saunters Reverend Wright in full religious regalia, and on up to the microphone he goes to start his speech. Funny thing is they kept his speech muted on the split screen and Smith and his cronies acted like he wasn't even there. Suddenly they yanked Wright's side off and not a single word was said regarding Wright's presence or the fact he was giving a speech where just moments before Mr. Obama and his family were standing. Nothing.

So. Mr. Obama distanced himself from Rev. Wright, huh?

Am I the ONLY one who saw this???

I didn't see it Flipper, but I'm not surprised. You don't sit in a church for 20 years and be married by the guy and not know what he's all about. But I guess 51% of the voters didn't care.

I wonder if he'll be the one to give the prayer at the Inauguration.

Our nation (sadly) deserves what it gets. I'm out of sympathy.

I'm trying to google it, but no luck finding anything yet. But then I'm not really good at finding these things. Anyone?

No, it was Bishop Philip Cousin who gave the invocation:

Maybe you should know what you are talking about before you start a post.

Breeta is correct. Wright was not present that night. He was, however, shown from a live feed at his church, where much of the congregation was watching.
