If the Rev. Jeremiah Wright believes as hes claimed in the past that he and President Barack Obama will be buddies again when hes out of office, the firebrand preacher didnt do himself any favors Wednesday.
Speaking at a breakfast co-hosted by the Chicago Teachers Union to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr.s birthday, Wright said that while the civil rights leader proclaimed I have a dream, Obama says, I have a drone.
Wright, Obamas former pastor, called for Kings revolution of values and a rejection of the three-headed demon of racism, militarism and capitalism the foundations of Western society, he said.
Every Tuesday morning, theres a kill list that the president decides who theyre going to kill this week, Wright said.

(11,617 posts)Comparing a speech to the responsibility of being president is silly.
Martin Luther King Jr. was a great man, but he did not have to deal with the issues that Obama does.
