Obama has come out strongly against Wright in his press conference:

"What particularly angered me was his suggestion somehow that my previous denunciation of his remarks were somehow political posturing,” said Obama, who added that Wright had shown “little regard for me” and seemed more concerned with “taking center stage.”

“It was antithetical to our campaign, it was antithetical to what we’re about,” he said. “I cannot prevent him from making these remarks” but “when I say I find these comments appalling I mean it..."

That "little regard for me" remark is telling, isn't it?

Wright embraced Farrakhan yet maintained a place in the Obama campaign. Wright screeched about conspiracy theories that are wacky even by my liberal standards, and Obama didn't mind. But the moment Wright inconvenienced the Savior From Illinois, the Savior said: "I've had all I can stands and I can't stands no more!"

THE LIE: Obama now says that Wright was never his "spiritual adviser" or "spiritual mentor." Oddly, he never corrected the Chicago Tribune's use of that phrase, which came after Wright had bestowed a lifetime achievement award on Louis Farrakhan.

In a letter dated February 5, 2007 Obama referred to Wright as his "Friend, mentor and pastor."

I constantly remember Rev. Wright as the shepherd who guided me to my commitment to Christ one Sunday morning at Trinity. I often consider, as I work in the Senate, how he lives his life - a life of service to Trinity, Chicago and the nation; his activism on behalf of causes that few would champion; and his dogged commitment to the first principles of love for God and fellow man. And in my personal walk, I seek daily to imitate his faith.

Now, I'm not known as a churchly fellow, as those of you who recall my Easter homily will testify. But don't those words paint a picture of spiritual mentoring?

(Actually, I'd be interested in a definition of the term "spirtual mentor" from someone who does belong to a faith tradition.)

I'll be very amused to see the progblogs brush away this reversal of documented truth, while continuing to treat the Bosnia flap as the most important lie ever.

Time for Plan B: A couple of posts down, I quoted a few Kossacks who seemed to be under the impression that Wright's speechmaking would prove incredibly popular throughout Freedom's land: "I wonder if we can carry Idaho!" I guess those progs are going to have to put their views into rewrite, since Mr. Wonderful himself disagrees with their assessment.

So now it's time for the fallback plan -- Operation Blame Hillary For Everything:

Score 1 for the media and I guess Hillary...

Report on the real news, CNN, not the fake news that Hillary wants you to report.

Ah yes. Hillary controls CNN. While I haven't the nerve to check out the orange Kool-Aid slurpers, here's the TPM crew:

Come on, Wright wash pushed onto the national stage, and slandered, by the Clinton campaign and his presence there was perpetrated by media talking hairdos.

Actually, the controversy began as far back as February of 2007, when Rolling Stone wrote a piece on Wright. Of course, the Evil Clinton Conspiracy gives Rolling Stone its marching orders.

We're going to hear a lot more of this inanity. Like it or not, Bob Somersby has it right:

But Reverend Wright was always going to be a part of this campaign. While we type our favorite novels about what has transpired in the past several months, we might at least note this fact: The slobbering racists of the Clinton campaign never said one word about this.

BY THE WAY...

Remember when Wright first surfaced? Remember when I predicted that this story was going to be huge? Remember when my readers and the progblogs said that Obama's ever-so-wonderful speech had ended the controversy once and for all? Remember when I said: No no no, we have not heard the last of Wright? Remember when my wonderful readers replied: You're wrong, Joe, it's over, and the whole matter turned out to be a net plus for Obama, and now we're never going to hear about Wright again?

Remember? Remember all that stuff?
