Why did Rev Wright decide to make speeches at a time when Obama might have liked silence?

Question

This didn't make any sense to me. If Obama and Rev Wright are supposedly so tight, why would he betray Obama by going public with MORE speeches taking up HOURS of air time on the 3 major TV stations? Or was he "set up" by a Clinton supporter? According to LA Times, the person who arranged for Wright to speak at the National Press Club was Barbara Reynolds a solid Clinton supporter. Sound fishy??

Was this another Clinton tactic?

I believe Rev. Wright is ego-maniacal.
He longs to become another Al Sharpton type.

Wright saw his opportunity to gain his fifteen minutes of fame. Now he's nothing more than a has-been.  -RKO-  05/16/08

I personally think he was paid by the Clinton's. I have heard more than once that they will stop at nothing to get what they want, and I think this was one such tactic.

Sheesh, why does everything have to be a conspiracy?  Wright is a narcissistic fruitcake...plain and simple.

So, Obama would have a chance to denounce Wright {I refuse to call him a reverend} to try to please the people.  However, for anyone who has a brain~ it did not work!
