Sharpton Says Obama Showed Courage Denouncing Wright
After speaking to reporters in Manhattan about the protests he’s organizing in response to the Sean Bell verdict, Al Sharpton was asked about a separate issue: Barack Obama’s denunciation of Jeremiah Wright.
Sharpton, a politician and reverend, said, “What Barack Obama did was a profile in courage,” and said it demonstrated the kind of leadership “I not only respect, but support.”
This, a day after Sharpton blasted Obama for "grandstand[ing] in front of white people." Go figure.

Sharpton knows he better show respect for a man who could easily put the blast on him as well. The deal is, most blacks really don't follow these so-called black leaders like Sharpton. It's pure white media created who's always calling them black leaders. Outside of NYC, Sharpton is rarely held in good regard by Blacks.
Right on, Rev. Al.

Obama may not be ruthless enough.
Perhaps Obama should have thrown Rev. Wright ‘under the bus’ as Hillary did to Geraldine Ferraro, for far less.
Obama should have learned that the Clintons’ motto is: “Nice guys finish last --- when taking them on.”
