Wright: 'Obama Threw Me Under the Bus'

Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama have not buried the hatchet. The AP has acquired a letter Wright recently sent to Joseph Prischak, the president of charity Africa 6000 International, telling him there was no way he could intercede for him with Obama. “No one in the Obama administration will respond to me, listen to me, talk to me, or read anything I write about them.” Wright wrote. “I am 'radioactive,' Sir.”

“When Obama threw me under the bus, he threw me under the bus literally!” The letter represents the harshest language Wright has used yet against Obama, and strongly suggests that Wright doesn't understand the meaning of the word “literally.” Prischak wanted Wright's help convincing Obama to release $87 million in frozen funds, sent to Prischak by Uday Hussein in 1990, to help quake victims in Haiti.
