If you thought that reverend Jeremiah Wright controversy ended in -- 2008 election you are so wrong to remember this.
Who -- have about what I bought black man have to face every day.
In our country and our culture controlled.
Black rich white.
People somebody missed that you've got nervous that we got from -- member of -- I'm still in Bible country I am still in the tax.
-- -- -- -- -- Black man who live in -- country and who can't get a call America that was -- controlled by rich white.
Here we go again this time Republican strategist proposed an ad campaign to super -- connected to conservative billionaire Joseph -- The focus political -- -- Reverend Wright right back in the spotlight.
Governor Romney quickly repudiating the strategy and the super -- released this statement on mr.
-- -- perhaps saying in part.
Not -- was this plan really a proposal was several submitted to the ending spending action fund by third party vendors but it reflects an approach to politics and mr.
-- rejects and it was never plan to be accepted but only a suggestion.
For direction to take.
So it looks like we'll never see that ad but does that even matter.
Joining us as far back center and I came to see mr.
-- Hello Greta happened to be here thank you.
That -- -- -- first thought is it.
Fair to in any way -- pres Obama to.
Reverend Jeremiah Wright or is that old -- distant from them and it's really that Justin met at his effort to sort of dirty up the president.
I think that it's an effort to sought -- muddy the water.
But I think it is fair if someone wants to highlight.
The reverend Jeremiah Wright and his relationship -- Barack Obama because quite frankly.
It wasn't highlighted enough in 2008 when he was running for president the first half the second one -- like that make.
I know -- Rick it's Joseph -- is would not spin.
-- total of ten million dollars on that one issue.
Joseph rickets is worried -- concerned more about the fiscal security of this country.
So as he said in the state admit it -- -- proposal.
But the little -- that didn't go anywhere but it is fair game.
And the reason -- third reason that it's fair game.
Is that if this administration.
Which has been shelved -- go after people who donate to Mitt Romney.
And try and -- that reputation.
The end yes it is fair game I don't think it is off limits.
But I don't -- -- -- -- we'll put that much money into just this one angle of a presidential campaign.
-- one of the considerations or other dots is said.
No one wants to be tagged or be racist towards the president.
Is bringing this up doesn't have that be is a lot of -- say that it is if you say that's fair and it's relevant but the -- of the second consideration.
Where we draw the line how we know something is racist and when something is fair for discussion.
Greta.
There -- reason that the liberals -- gonna -- -- racist is because President Obama is black.
And Jeremiah Wright is black they're gonna call it racist it is not racist.
They hide behind the race card in attack and that someone -- to attack the president.
On grounds that he would freely and deliberately attacked somebody else so no I just I don't think that it is races simply because they want to bring it up.
It's fact is truth.
So why not expose the truth because the president as you know back in 2008.
Didn't -- and his own that president Jeremiah Wright.
When in fact.
How could he have been in his church.
But twenty years and not assimilated some of the things that he was talking about so no it is not races is just that the liberals want the play the race card.
When it is convenient.
Why do you wait until yesterday to endorse governor Romney.
It's real simple.
I wanted to and -- waited to endorse governor Romney yesterday.
Because I wanted to wait until it was appropriate to track and enhance unit -- In order for the Republicans to win we -- gonna have to come together as a party.
Yes I endorse the American people first the and I endorsed.
Newt Gingrich and yesterday officially endorsed.
Governor Romney because.
I did not want to be viewed as someone.
Who might be trying to wait to disrupt the convention in Tampa in August.
I want to promote unity.
Not disruptions so I just wanted to clear the table and make sure that everybody -- -- -- -- that as I have stated all along.
I will support the eventual nominee and that nominee is going to be governor Romney and I just wanted to make clear that I was solidly behind him.
In order to make him president of United States.
I so it's clear that day you'll be disciplined Republican nominating me of donor support behind governor Romney what is it that what is the reason why you don't support to present Obama what's the difference between the two parties that -- -- as we approach November.
Here again it's real simple.
Governor Romney gets it right on the big issues.
President Obama gets it wrong on the big issues governor Romney understands.
What it's gonna take.
To boost this economy to a growth -- that this economy is capable of no policies of government of President Obama have boosted the economy we are now at something less than 2%.
That's not what -- -- economy is capable love.
For governor Romney gets it right own -- independence.
He Knowles and has stated.
That we can maximize all about what the energy resource is in this country to become energy independent.
Everything that President Obama does seems to be opposite of that.
And -- the other thing that governor Romney gets it right on is he wants to repeal Obama care he has stated it.
And -- series about it.
And he gets serious about us leading the effort to repeal Obama care because it is the wrong solution -- as President Obama.
Obviously want to continue to track and rolled it out.
So there is a vast difference between what governor Romney gets right which on the big issues and President Obama gets wrong.
Heaviest under the campaign and made any sort of job plans within the terms of what you think you can do to -- the Republican ticket the intended hit the road for them where any plans -- specific plans.
Yes there are two suggestion that I made to the governor went -- met with him a couple of weeks ago number one.
I have volunteered to assist him and his team all shop -- his message and they have already started to implement some of those suggestions.
Secondly.
I have a volunteers to focus on helping to energize the youth vote.
Greta within the last several months I have spent a lot of tab Siena College campuses and in fact I have spoken at all what fifteen college campuses.
-- young Republicans on college campuses around the country.
About conservative values and about the fact that they Washington is broken and that this nation is broke and that they -- have fixed it.
And I have been just absolutely amazed.
At -- response that I have gotten.
-- young people and -- young vote have been very enthusiastic.
And I believe that they have going to be a key into winning in November.
And I've been focused on tragedy in -- the youth vote for this election coming up.
Public the African American vote which is typically is a boat that goes it's an excuse to the Democratic Party -- any servant tension can you capture some of the African American party continues -- is in anyway for governor Romney.
Absolutely.
When I was still a candidate.
I believe that I had gotten the attention of a lot of African Americans and a lot of black voters.
And it was because of my message it was because -- the clarity of my message.
And even as I travel today -- steel very warmly received it.
-- many blacks and African Americans that are run into an apple with some restaurants -- -- case may be because they are starting to think differently.
One of the greatest things Greta was for example I was substituted for Neal -- -- -- on his syndicated radio show.
Which covers 220.
Stations across the country.
And I have people call up who will say to me and this is what I appreciate you know you'll calls -- need to think about things differently than mere fact.
That I'm out here promoting conservative values and up and -- promoting.
There's a responsibility.
In force of the constitution.
And -- promoting the free market system.
That's -- and a lot of African Americans that think about and look at what the Republican Party have to offer and that's what I'm continuing to do.
Mister K thank you -- -- -- -- thank you sir.
It's my pledge -- thank you --
