Jeremiah Wright: King Said 'I Have a Dream,' Barack Said, 'I Have a Drone'

"King said 'I have a dream.' Barack said, 'I have a drone.'"

Black liberation theologian Jeremiah Wright gave the keynote address Wednesday morning at a breakfast to commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. hosted by the Chicago Teachers Union breakfast.

Wright, who was pastor to the Barack Obama family for over a thousand Sundays, had harsh words for his former congregant:

We need to teach the truth about our politicians, from Bush to Barack. Because very clearly it is not about the person, it is about the policies of this government. King said “I have a dream.” Barack said, “I have a drone.”

But Wright's scathing commentary did not end there. The Pastor Emeritus of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ accused the President of the United States - a man who titled his second book based on the first sermon he ever hear Wright preach - of being "controlled" by a racist and murderous government:

Every Tuesday morning there’s a kill list that the President decides who he will kill this week....That’s a man controlled by government. A government based on racism, militarism, and capitalism.

Wright also accused Obama of putting personal relationships and love of recreational athletics above the country in his appointment of Arne Duncan as U.S. Secretary of Education after Duncan "ruined" Chicago's schools. How did he get the job?

A good hook shot playing basketball with . . . Barack Hussein Obama.

As TruthRevolt reported on Tuesday, the far-left Chicago Teachers Union is hoping to take a more aggressively political approach in its efforts to battle Democrat Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Governor Pat Quinn, whose policies the union oppose.

According to the Sun Times, CTU President Karen Lewis defended Wright's harsh comments, suggesting context was key - not the context of an education deficit in American, but the context of ushering in a leftist utopia.

The issue is, how do we put those things in context so we can get to the point where we can have a world that’s healed and perfected, where we don’t have war?
