BUMPED: NEWS BOMBSHELL: Obama camp offered Jeremiah Wright $150,000 bribe for his silence during 2008 prez run

Barack Obama is from Chicago ain�t he? Bribes in that town are as common as bacon and eggs.

New York Post reports when sermons of Obama�s Chicago pastor, Jeremiah Wright, surfaced during the Iowa primaries, it threatened to derail Obama�s campaign. ABC aired one where Wright screamed, �Goddamn America!� Edward Klein interviewed Wright, who told him Obama�s team tried to buy his silence.

�Man, the media ate me alive,� Wright told me when we met in his office at Chicago�s Kwame Nkrumah Academy. �After the media went ballistic on me, I received an e-mail offering me money not to preach at all until the November presidential election.�

�Who sent the e-mail?� I asked Wright.


�It was from one of Barack�s closest friends.�


�He offered you money?�


�Not directly,� Wright said. �He sent the offer to one of the members of the church, who sent it to me.�


�How much money did he offer you?�


�One hundred and fifty thousand dollars,� Wright said.


�Did Obama himself ever make an effort to see you?�


�Yes,� Wright said. �Barack said he wanted to meet me in secret, in a secure place. And I said, �You�re used to coming to my home, you�ve been here countless times, so what�s wrong with coming to my home?� So we met in the living room of the parsonage of Trinity United Church of Christ, at South Pleasant Avenue right off 95th Street, just Barack and me. I don�t know if he had a wire on him. His security was outside somewhere.

I wonder If the Washington Post will do a follow up?
