According to a (supposedly) well-placed source for The New York Post, Rev. Jeremiah Wright is attempting to get even with Obama for essentially disavowing him.

“After 20 years of loving Barack like he was a member of his own family, for Jeremiah to see Barack saying over and over that he didn’t know about Jeremiah’s views during those years, that he wasn’t familiar with what Jeremiah had said, that he may have missed church on this day or that and didn’t hear what Jeremiah said, this is seen by Jeremiah as nonsense and betrayal,” said the source, who has deep roots in Wright’s Chicago community and is familiar with his thinking on the matter…

The source noted that the roots of Wright’s disillusionment with Obama began last year after the Illinois senator unexpectedly yanked him from participating in the public announcement of his presidential campaign.

“That’s why Jeremiah revealed … that he had actually been at the [announcement] hotel and prayed privately with the Obama family before the official declaration,” the source told The Post…

The source added, “After 20 years of loving Barack like he is one of their own, after he was embraced by this congregation as a brother in Christ, after his pastor was a father figure to him and gave him credibility in a city he had not grown up in and in a black community that was suspect of someone from Hawaii and Harvard, he thanks him by not allowing him to speak publicly at his announcement last year?

“A lot of people in the church believe they were there for this man when no one else was, and a lot of people don’t believe it any more when Obama claims he loves the man who did so much for him,” the source added.

So now, the source claims, Wright is seeking his revenge. Allahpundit notes that Wright’s disenchantment over not getting invited to the launch of Obama’s campaign is well-documented.

I hypothesized that Wright may not be overly concerned with Obama winning, considering it wouldn’t be great for business. It’s difficult to sell theories of a white supremacist America that intentionally kills black people when the President of the United States is, himself, black. In fact, it may simply be a case of Wright seeking revenge.
