Wright was a guest of the Clintons at the White House in 1998
Apparently Rev. Jeremiah Wright was a guest of the Clintons at the White House in 1998 at the gathering of religious leaders where Clinton described his contrition over the Lewinsky scandal.

According to Hillary's schedule, she was there.

4. On edit, damn it, it's politico.
Edited on Thu Mar-20-08 08:47 PM by BleedingHeartPatriot
I was cheering the Clinton connection because Rev. Wright is exactly who I'd HOPE that the Clintons supported but the source is fucking politico.

Equivalent to drudge.

18. He wasn't just posing for a pic with the president
He was one of some number of preachers invited to the White House for a meeting with the president to hear his contrition re: Monica.

The point is this... he was considered to be a mainstream preacher, not some extremist.

13. Reverend Gerald Mann was the one who gave the invocation, though.
Riverbend Church, Austin, Texas. A gifted preacher, a very prolific writer with an extremely positive, uplifting message. I was going to post some of his books and tapes, but they are too numerous. Have a look:

14. Have the Clintons come forward with this information?
Have they admitted to consulting with Rev. Wright when Bill was experiencing a "spiritual crisis"? Have they rejected Rev. Wright?
