Obama Surrogate: Obama Lacks Political Courage

November 3, 2008 by GayPatriotWest

In Boca Raton, Florida Democratic Congressman Jerrold Nadler, Chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights & Civil Liberties, defended Barack Obama’s membership in Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ, but said the Democratic presidential nominee lacked political courage in not walking out when he heard that minister’s racist sermons:

If Obama’s political allies think he lacks political courage, what will our nation’s enemies think.

    Political courage would have been to stand up, firmly raise his middle finger and shown support for his church and his pastor. Instead, what he did, and continued to do with other BS nonsense that was thrown at him by small minds, is gave in to the pressure foolishly thinking that would appease them. Could be that’s why our nation’s enemies would rather see him in office, they hope he’ll follow the same pattern.

    I realized he had no political courage the very first time I heard about Reverend Wright. Obama’s all politics, all calculations, no passion. (Am I the only one bored of the cadence of his speech?) Think it’s too late?
