Obama ‘faulty memory’ on Wright explored

I thought that, during the campaign, Obama said he “praised Jesus” at Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ every Sunday. Well, via Beliefnet, a 2004 interview in the Chicago Sun-Times confirms that.

FALSANI
Do you still attend Trinity?

OBAMA:
Yep. Every week. 11 o’clock service.

That is followed by this:

OBAMA:
Well, my pastor [Jeremiah Wright] is certainly someone who I have an enormous amount of respect for.

In an earlier post, I offered these five possibilities for the Obama-Wright relationship and how Obama claims he had never heard anything like “God damn America” out of Wright’s mouth.
• A massive liar about hearing difficulty, or
• A similar liar about his comprehension level, or
• A whopper-teller about his memory skills, or
• Ditto on the frequency of church attendance, or
• A champion-level Sunday morning pew sleeper.

Well, unless he was stretching the truth on No. 4 well before running for president, we can rule out the non-attendance excuse.
