Rev. Wright urged to stay silent until after 2012. After that, Obama will have more...ah..."flexibility."
◼ Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose "God damn America" sermon set off a firestorm during the 2008 campaign, agreed not to publish an account of the episode until after President Obama's 2012 re-election campaign, according to an interview Wright conducted with the author of a new book on Obama. Wright said he made the decision at the urging of a friend and mentor, the prominent University of Chicago emeritus professor Martin Marty. - Byron York/Washington Examiner
...Wright's description of his discussion with Marty is not included in the Klein book. But Klein, through his public relations representative, made the audio of his entire two-hour-and-forty-five minute interview with Wright available to The Washington Examiner.
Marty, reached by phone at his Chicago home Saturday, said Wright's recollections were accurate. Marty, a legend in the field of the history of religion, declined to make any other comment....
And Martin said if you're keeping notes about what happened, don't publish that until after 2012, regardless of how the election goes. So I really put it aside. And every time I look at that box, with all those things in it -- "
When Klein asked more about the box, Wright revealed that in 2008 Eric Whitaker, a close friend of President Obama's, offered him a substantial sum of money to stay quiet about his relationship with Obama until after the '08 election.
"What's in the box?" asked Klein.
"An email offering me money not to preach at all between the explosion of the media the first week in March [2008] and the November election," answered Wright....

‘CHURCH WAS NOT THEIR THING’: NEW AUDIO FROM REV. WRIGHT’S SHOCKING INTERVIEW WITH OBAMA BOOK AUTHOR ED KLEIN
◼ “We keep forgetting that Barack Obama was selected before he was elected. You didn’t select him. He’s accountable to the ones who selected him and who paid for him to be the president,” Wright said. (Audio) - The Blaze
◼ BECK OFFERS $150K FOR WRIGHT’S SECRET BOX ON OBAMA - The Blaze
On Thursday, The Blaze released more exclusive audio of an interview (parts of which were first released by Sean Hannity) between “The Amateur” author Ed Klein and Reverend Jeremiah Wright. That book contains shocking allegations about President Barack Obama and the relationship he shared with the controversial preacher. Among the information in the book is Wright’s claims that: Obama saw the pastor as a “deterrent” to becoming president; neither Michelle nor Barack Obama truly embraced religion as “church was not their thing;” and that church served only as a political platform for the Obamas.
But most poignant of all, however, is that the audio reasserts the information that was leaked over the weekend: that Wright was offered a bribe of $150,000 by close Obama-friend Eric Whitaker to remain quiet and refrain from preaching until after the 2008 election. In addition to that, though, the controversial pastor also claims to have a cardboard box that contains proof of Whitaker’s offer, along with other items that would corroborate his story.
On his Thursday morning radio broadcast, Glenn Beck said that based on Wright’s history, it is clear he is not a man who has ever shied away from “telling the truth about who he is and what he believes in.” With this in mind, Beck made Wright an offer difficult to refuse: $150,000 for the contents of the cardboard box.
