When my contact sent me this picture, I was pretty shocked. Yes, that is Rev. Wright, the former pastor of Barack Obama, on the left, shaking Bill Clinton's hand.
And get this:

My contact who sent me these documents is a "Washington Insider." She attends and creates a lot of events in D.C., and knows the kind of people who would come across documents such as these as a part of doing political business.
A friend of my contact sent her these documents with the note:
"President Clinton and Rev. Jeremiah Wright... at White House breakfast during the 'Monica Mess.' I have no problem with Rev. Wright. I do have a problem with Clintonian hypocrisy."
Not just anyone gets invited to a White House breakfast where they can shake the hand of the President. These events are carefully engineered to curry favor with people politicos think can help them.
Hillary may not have chosen Wright to be her pastor, yet her husband chose to cultivate a relationship with Rev. Wright during his presidency. This fact seems to have vanished from Hillary's memory as she delivered her recent round of sound bites, criticizing Obama for his past relationship to Wright.
Sounds very similar to her "I was shot at in Bosnia" way of thinking.

It never ceases to amaze me when somebody who looks like me (Black)Ken has a public platform in the media tries to take down a legitimate candidate for the office of president. After the last failed 7 years of bush's policies of kissing big business's behind and forgetting about the knuckleheads that actually voted for him, could ken actually comment on some of those major blunders. I see enough idiots at my job who are rush limbaugh fans who are hypmotized by letting a former drug abusing draft dodger pray on the fears of insecure people who want the whole dam pie. Too many times we tear down each other out of self hate. Obama has enough of them (haters) out there already without the crabbing affect from our own community. I think most Black folks are just as conservative as anyone else when it comes to more taxes, higher prices at the pump, cutting on your lights, higher school taxes-sorry education (hint- no child left behind- yea right), high unemployment, and the number of us locked up in money making penal institutions. Is it justice or Just Us? I would think the turn out has been so great at the polls because people are fed up with the same old politics- of shaking your hands, kissing your babies, telling the same old lies, and then taking money from big business for special favors after they get elected. I would like to hear a helluva lot more about the issues that we faced in the US and the global economy than snippets and soundbites from Dr. Wright's sermons. Most white folks and uncooth Black Republicans hate hearing well educated people speak out about the problems that affect us more directly than anyone else in this society. Yes my friends racism is alive and well today in the US and yet, most of them would have you think we are playing on a level playing field while we catch hell with hi car loan rates, hi rate mortgages, hi insurance rates ,hi unemployment and trying to find jobs to feed our families. he has shown us that if you work hard and invest in yourself in time and eduaction, give back to the community , that you can make a difference. This man cannot be worse than what we presently have. My greatest fear was that generation x would sit on the side line dealing with politics, and low and behold they stand up, turn out, make their voices heard, and they have someone who makes sense to them who speaks clearly, soundly,has dreams , goals, and upward mobility for people of this country. Obama spoke out against the war a long time ago. Now everyone wants to get on the wagon. Ken, they even gave you a chance to get where you are right now , and someone could have said some pretty disheartnening things about your writing skills, but I will not go there. Other people love to pull out the race card (Muslim) when things are not going their way, while others must learn to endure. Let he who be without guilt or sin, cast the first stone.

Where is the story here? Everybody, who thought they were important, were trying lick the Clintons' butt for recognition. Look at this picture; Clinton is diverting his attention elsewhere while Pastor "Anti-American" Wright is looking all googly eyed at Clinton.
Give me a break! This is only a photo-opt. Obama stayed with this psycho for almost two decades. Obama is a phony. He has everyone hoodwinked.
I hope Hillary wins; if not, I am voting for McCain.

It never fails. The minute Caucasions stick thier noses in black peoples affairs they try to cause kaos. The ole divide and conguer mentality. The trickery, lies, and deciet. They are decietful people BY NATURE! Black people need to stop listening to them period and learn to tune them out no matter what, but of course you will still have those of use who are foolish enough to think that we are equal to them. We will never be that no matter how much money you make or material possessions you acquire. When you move into their neighborhoods, walk their streets they let you know you are not wanted. Make it blatantly clear but your still foolish enough to think that you are equal because they have handed you a few scraps and some are nice to you and tell you to your face how much they love your kind but all the while inbeded in their very soul is contempt for you. Its true bottom line, whether you choose to keep your head in the sand or not. There will come a day when it will be blatantly put in your face.
Everyone is talking about the antichrist and have no idea what they are talking about. The antichrist is already here and has been for a long time. He is that good that he has had everyone fooled for a very long time and still do. Including myself until I did some research into the origin of religion and christianity. Then thats when I discovered who and what this antichrist is. It was a shock to me but I am glad that I took the time to research what it is. I am no longer a christian because of this. Because of the history of christianity and where it comes from. Now mind you I do believe in God but not as I have been taught in Baptist Christianity.

There is also a video out accessible via you tube and its called "The Clinton Chronicles". Do yourselves a favor and take a look at it. If you still love the clintons after this one then you will deserve all the misery you will get if they make it in the white house again! For heavens sake educate yourselves before you go boasting love for a ruthless criminal family/empire as the clintons.

Is it true that Rev. William Procanick was Clinton's pastor?

We all must read stuff on the web with skepticism.
