The New York Post released an excerpt from Edward Klein’s unauthorized biography of Barack Obama titled, “The Amateur.” The excerpt details the lengths Obama went to in attempts to silence his former pastor. Jeremiah Wright.

Wright is quoted as saying that Obama indirectly offered him “One hundred and fifty thousand dollars,” to stay quiet and “not to preach at all until the November presidential election.”

Wright reportedly received an email from “one of Barack’s closest friends” offering money to stay quiet through another member of the church.

Wright and Obama eventually met. This is part of the excerpt from Klein on the New York Post’s website.

“And one of the first things Barack said was, ‘I really wish you wouldn’t do any more public speaking until after the November election.’ He knew I had some speaking engagements lined up, and he said, ‘I wish you wouldn’t speak. It’s gonna hurt the campaign if you do that.’

“And what did you say?” I asked. “I said, ‘I don’t see it that way. And anyway, how am I supposed to support my family?’ And he said, ‘Well, I wish you wouldn’t speak in public. The press is gonna eat you alive.’

“Barack said, ‘I’m sorry you don’t see it the way I do. Do you know what your problem is?’ And I said, ‘No, what’s my problem?’ And he said, ‘You have to tell the truth.’ I said, ‘That’s a good problem to have. That’s a good problem for all preachers to have. That’s why I could never be a politician.’

“And he said, ‘It’s going to get worse if you go out there and speak. It’s really going to get worse.’

“And he was so right.”

Could this be the book that tears down Obama and portrays him in a completely different light; different from the rockstar he has been made out to be since his 2008 campaign? The author, Klein, has been accused of writing untrue statements, but if these stories are even partially true, Obama is going to be in trouble.

May we be one so that the world may be won.
