The shooting by James Van Brunn at the Holocaust museum for most people, was simply the act of a deranged anti-Semitic lunatic who, like most hate mongers spent his life blaming others for his own shortcoming and inadequacies.
But what could be a bigger problem for President Obama is having to deal with the fact that the day before the shooting, similar lunatic rantings were made by the man who Obama said was like a member of his own family, the man who introduced him to his wife, the man who baptized his children and the man in whose church Obama spent 17 years.
The day before the shooting at the Holocaust museum, Jeremiah Wright made statements almost identical to that of Van Brunn. Van Brunn left notes and passages on his web site claiming that Obama was "owned by the Jews". Wright said a day before the shooting that "them Jews wont let me talk to him" .
Wright went on to say that the Jews controlled Obama, a statement almost identical to Van Brunn's who said Jews "owned" Obama.
Given Obama's 17 year association with Wright, one that Obama severed only because it threatened to derail his political ambitions,not based on any principle, Obama is now going to be under a microscope even if that microscope is not talked about publicly, with everything Obama says and does as it relates to Israel and the middle east dissected and analyzed. It's not going to be easily dismissed that Obama spent 17 years in Wright's church seemingly undisturbed by Wright's anti-American, anti-white, anti-semitic ranting.
Given that Obama is first and foremost a political animal,Wright's statements coming the same week as the Holocaust Museum shooting is going to put Obama in a difficult political position especially in dealing with the Israeli-Palestinian problem.
Knowing that he may be under more intense scruitiny, does he prove to the Muslim world who are liable to take Wright's remarks seriously, that he isn't "owned by the Jews"? Or does he prove to Jews and Israel that his 17 year association with a raving anti-Semite whose views are similar to that of the neo Nazi museum shooter and who he once called a member of his own family, that this is something he had always rejected?
My guess is the first thing Obama will do is what he always does when he feels faced with a political problem. The speech is probably being written right now.
