WASHINGTON, Jan. 18, 2009 In a sermon today at Howard University's chapel in Washington, Wright used Obama's life as an example to show how despite challenges as a nation, the country can build a better future.
"He was able to do what nobody of African decent was ever able to do in the 211-year history of this country. ... The Lord stepped into his story and gave him a new attitude," he said.
It was a completely different scene from Wright's defiant appearance at the National Press Club in April. Gone was any hint of anger directed at Obama for denouncing his more controversial sermons and statements, which became fodder for Obama's critics during the presidential campaign.

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright may have made his peace with the former parishioner he once suggested turned on him for political gain, President-elect Barack Obama, but in an exclusive interview, he showed he's still furious with the media, who he called "evil," and said he's "not going to kiss anybody's behind."
NATEPERKINS.TV: U.S. Supreme Court "Denies Troy Davis’ Execution"
The United States Supreme Court has issued a stay of execution to stop, at least for the time being, the State-mandated murder of Troy Davis.
The State of Georgia was planning to murder Troy Davis about an hour ago. They were planning to do so even though his conviction was based entirely on the testimony of nine eye-witnesses, seven of whom have since recanted their testimony and claimed that they were intimidated into giving false testimony by threats from the cops. Neither physical evidence nor a murder weapon was ever produced by the police. But the Georgia Board of Paroles and Pardons refused to give Davis a new evidentiary hearing, to investigate whether or not this man was about to be murdered based on nothing but lies, because a mans life means nothing next to the importance of finality in the States criminal system. Yesterday the Georgia Supreme Court refused to stay the execution because, in their view, U.S. Supreme Court properly has jurisdiction over Davis pending petition, and a mans life means nothing next to the importance of due deference to another judges turf. Never mind that, under normal circumstances, the U.S. Supreme Court would not even have been ready to hear Troy Daviss plea for a new evidentiary hearing until after the State of Georgia killed Davis. Thankfully, after agreeing to an emergency hearing, the Supreme Court did the right thing and put a halt to the killing, at least until after Daviss petition can be heard.
JACKSON, Georgia (CNN) The U.S. Supreme Court granted a last-minute reprieve to a Georgia man fewer than two hours before he was to be executed for the 1989 slaying of an off-duty police officer. Troy Anthony Davis, 39, has his execution stayed by the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday.
Troy Anthony Davis learned that his execution had been stayed when he saw it on television, he told CNN via telephone in his first interview after the stay was announced.
He said he was thankful to God for the news that came during an emergency session the U.S. Supreme Court convened.
Davis said everyone should pray for the slain officers family.
The 39-year-old also said that he is very grateful for everything that everyone is doing for him and that he would accept whatever decision the Supreme Court rendered in the coming days about his case.
At the Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson, a crowd of Davis supporters, led by the Rev. Al Sharpton, erupted in cheers when Sharpton announced the stay. Some shouted Hallelujah!

By GREG BLUESTEIN 18 hours ago
ATLANTA (AP) After a Georgia inmate convicted of murdering a police officer was spared from execution a second time, the condemned man's widely publicized supporters erupted in joy. But far from television cameras, the victim's family seethed.
"My son is dead. Theirs is still alive," said Anneliese MacPhail, the officer's mother. "That's just the way I feel."
Arm-in-arm with the Rev. Al Sharpton, Troy Davis' exultant family and a busload of supporters sang, wept and prayed Tuesday when they learned he was granted a temporary reprieve from the U.S. Supreme Court just hours before he was to be executed.
It was the second time he had been spared and, for Davis' family, another opportunity to proclaim his innocence and press for a new trial. The execution will be delayed for at least a couple of weeks. The court is scheduled to review Davis' appeal at a private conference on Monday.
Away from the spotlight was the grieving family of Mark MacPhail, who was shot and killed in 1989 while moonlighting as a security guard at a Savannah bus station. He rushed to help a homeless man who had been pistol-whipped and was shot twice when he approached Davis and two other men.
Embittered by delays and legal maneuvering, the family was devastated by Tuesday's reprieve.
"I'm furious, disgusted and disappointed," Anneliese MacPhail said. "I want this over with. This has been hanging over us for 19 years."
Davis was convicted in 1991, after prosecutors at his trial said he approached McPhail with a "smirk on his face" as he fired the gun. But seven of the nine key witnesses who helped put Davis on death row have since recanted their statements. Three other people have said one of the witnesses who testified at Davis' trial later confessed to killing the officer.
The fresh doubts, coupled with Davis' claims of innocence, have drawn support from high-profile leaders like President Jimmy Carter and South Africa Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Amnesty International has organized protests as far away as Paris, and Sharpton has helped lead rallies calling for a new trial.
Amid the concerns, the state pardons board postponed Davis' execution in July 2007 less than 24 hours before it was to occur. The courts have since thoroughly vetted the case.
A divided Georgia Supreme Court this year has twice rejected his request for a new trial, and the pardons board turned down his bid for clemency this month after considering the case again.
The U.S. Supreme Court issued its last-minute stay Tuesday night after Davis had already turned down his last meal and prepared his final statement.
For MacPhail's family, the lengthy appeals process has been excruciating.
"If I saw him, I'd punch him in the face," the victim's mother said of Davis. "I am angry at the whole family. I don't know how they have such a following."
Mark MacPhail was an Army Ranger for almost six years before he and his wife decided to settle down and he became a police officer in Savannah.
To his 74-year-old mother, who sat through the trial and becomes livid when she talks about the case, there's no question that Davis pulled the trigger.
"I don't think there will ever be closure. There's a hole in our heart that will never be healed," she said. "But we just want Mark to rest in peace. And we want to live now. We have just been existing all these years, waiting for the next shoe to drop.
"When it's over, justice has been done. That's the way we feel."

By JEFFRY SCOTT and MARCUS K. GARNER
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Saturday, September 20, 2008
New York civil rights activist Al Sharpton said condemned cop killer Troy Anthony Davis was surprisingly upbeat Saturday night after the two prayed together on Georgias death row.
He was not overly optimistic or pessimistic, said the Rev. Sharpton, who visited Davis on death row at Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson at the request of Davis family. He was suprisingly upbeat. He seemed like he was depending on his faith to see him through.
Sharpton has joined a growing chorus of prominent figures calling for Georgia to spare the life of the 39-year-old, who is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection Tuesday night for the 1989 murder of Savannah police Officer Mark Allen MacPhail.
If you have this kind of wide array of people who dont agree on much, but who believe that clemency is needed in this case, that should impress upon [the Georgia State Pardons and Parole Board] to give him another opportunity to show that there is not reasonable doubt, Sharpton said.
But Scheree Lipscomb, a spokeswoman for the Pardons and Parole Board, said Saturday night there would be no last-minute clemency.
The board members have considered clemency on two occasions, Lipscomb said. They stand firm in the decision that they have made.
Both former President Jimmy Carter and Bob Barr, a Libertarian Party presidential candidate and former Georgia congressman, on Friday asked the board to grant Davis a stay of execution.
Barr wrote a letter to the parole board last week asking it to reconsider the Davis case because, he wrote, the doubts about the Davis case have not been resolved, and fears that Georgia might execute an innocent man have not been allayed.
Carter issued a statement Friday asking the parole board to reconsider the case, saying it illustrates the deep flaws in the application of the death penalty in this country.
Carter wrote that executing Troy Davis without a real examination of potentially exonerating evidence risks taking the life of an innocent man and would be a grave miscarriage of justice.
Georgians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty and the NAACP said Saturday they are planning another rally at 11 a.m. Monday in front of the State Capitol to urge the parole board to reconsider or the state Supreme Court to stay the execution of Davis while his case is appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Davis is convicted of killing MacPhail, on Aug. 19, 1989. Since Davis 1991 trial, several key witnesses have recanted their testimony. Witness testimony formed the core of the prosecutions case because physical evidence was scant: no murder weapon, no fingerprints, no DNA.
The case has attracted worldwide attention, with calls to stop his execution from Pope Benedict XVI, Amnesty International and Nobel Peace Prize-winner Desmond Tutu. Rallies have been held as far away as Paris.
Officer MacPhails mother, Anneliese MacPhail, 74, of Columbus, said Saturday she is disgusted by the outpouring of support for Davis. Its tearing me apart to see my sons name dragged through the mud because of all of this.
She said she had no doubt Davis is guilty. I hope this is over Tuesday and I can have some peace, she said.
She will not attend the scheduled execution, but three of my children will be in Jackson, she said.
GFADP also plans a vigil outside the Jackson jail, as well as a protest on the Capitol steps, both to begin at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Sharpton spent about 35 minutes with Davis on Saturday night, and said by phone that the death-row inmate reflected on how he became a murder suspect.
He said he got in with the wrong crowd and thought one of the guys he was hanging with killed [MacPhail], Sharpton said. He said young people should be careful who they hang around.

You need to see some of the offensive attacks we're up against. I just recorded a short video on my laptop about John McCain's negative ads.
In the remaining 21 days, we need to be ready to respond to smears like these -- and worse.
We need to show that our supporters will fight back against the McCain campaign's low road tactics. That's why our goal is to bring 100,000 new donors into this movement before midnight on Friday, October 17th.
That means in Georgia we need 3,000 new donors to step up this week.
This is your last opportunity to match the donation of a fellow supporter and encourage them to give for the first time.
Your donation of $100 becomes $200 when it's matched by a new donor. Will you watch the video and double your impact by making a matching donation today?
John McCain and his allies want smears and lies to drive this election.
That must be because the McCain campaign knows they don't have good answers for the issues that matter to ordinary people in Georgia -- like the economy, health care, and ending the war in Iraq responsibly. And they've flatly stated that if they talk about the economy, they will lose.
Instead, they keep coming up with new, outrageous attacks that are even more offensive and baseless than the ones before.
The issues facing our country are too important to let our next president be determined by petty political tactics.
Help reach the goal of 100,000 new donors this week. You can provide the vital resources needed to fight back against these attacks and show John McCain that there's a cost to his 100% negative campaign.
Double your impact today with a matched donation. Bring in a new donor and make sure we get the change we need on November 4th:
https://donate.barackobama.com/promise
We've already seen the cost of eight years of failed policies.
With just 21 days left, we have to show John McCain the cost of ignoring the real issues and focusing on false, negative attacks.
Thanks,
David

The self-proclaimed King of the South, who was up for nine nominations, won two awards. But he couldn't accept any trophies or make the planned performance after being arrested by federal authorities early Saturday.
T.I. was taken into custody in a shopping center parking lot where federal officials said he planned to pick up machine guns and silencers he had his bodyguard buy for him.
The arrest Saturday resulted from an investigation that began this month when a federal firearms licensee contacted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives about a man inquiring about buying a machine gun without registering the weapon as required by law, according to a criminal complaint filed Saturday in U.S. District Court in Atlanta.
After trying to buy several machine guns from an undercover ATF agent, the unnamed person began cooperating with the government and said he was buying the machine guns and silencers for Clifford Harris, T.I.'s given name, the complaint said. According to the bodyguard, he had bought about nine firearms for T.I., and the rapper had given him cash to buy guns four different times, it said.
Harris brokered the deals through the bodyguard because he is a convicted felon, the complaint alleged. It is against federal law for a convicted felon to have another person get firearms on their behalf.
The 27-year-old rapper had arranged to pick up the weapons just hours before he was to take the stage at the Hip-Hop Awards, being taped blocks away, according to the complaint.
Sydney Margetson, a spokesman for T.I.'s label, Atlantic Records, declined to comment Saturday.
As the Hip-Hop Awards were being taped in Atlanta on Saturday night, federal authorities were searching T.I.'s home in East Point, about 15 miles southwest of the city.
Half a dozen agents were still searching well into the night, removing boxes and envelopes from the large, red brick house with white columns and ornate glass windows, removing boxes and envelopes.
T.I. had been expected to perform at the BET show, which is to be broadcast Wednesday, and was nominated in nine categories. Instead, the rapper was noticeably absent from red carpet festivities before the show began at 6 p.m., though he was at the center where the show was to be taped.
Saturday was supposed to be a day of revelry for T.I., the co-chief executive of Grand Hustle Records. The self-proclaimed King of the South won three awards at last year's inaugural BET Hip-Hop Awards and received nine nominations this year, including CD of the Year, Lyricist of the Year and MVP of the Year.
Even though the Atlanta-based rapper was present at the Civic Center, where the event was held, he became noticeably absent from the red carpet festivities before the show.
The news of T.I. being arrested rippled throughout the event. Rapper KRS-One, who received BET's "I am Hip Hop" Icon Award, learned about the raid just before he showed up.
KRS-One, whose real name is Lawrence Parker, said the fellow rapper's legal woes should not reflect on the industry as a whole.
"I'm saddened anytime I hear of a hip-hopper being locked up or somehow stunted in his life or his growth," he told The Associated Press. "I hope he wasn't into nothing crazy."
Chicago rapper Common, who won the CD of the year award along with T.I., tried to lend his support.
"I salute my guy T.I., who also won, wherever he is," said Common, while raising up his trophy. He also won lyricist of the year.
Other artists who were supposed to perform with T.I. still pulled off the performance. As Wyclef Jean stood on stage to enact T.I.'s song, "You Know What It Is," host and comedian Katt Williams pranced across the stage dressed like T.I. trying to impersonate him as the crowd burst into laughter.
Alfamega still took the stage with Busta Rhymes for the song "Hurt." As the two rapped, many of the audience members stood seemingly puzzled at T.I.'s absence.
Kanye West was a winner in two categories best live performance and hip-hop video. After West got his trophy for best hip-hop video, he said he thought the video for UGK's "International Players," featuring OutKast, should have been chosen over his.
"I didn't deserve this award above them. They do instead of me," said West, who is typically known more for comments that critics call arrogant.
But Big Boi of OutKast returned the favor to West by giving him the award back saying, "You worked too hard for this. No, you deserve it."
The Hip Hop Awards will air on Oct. 17.
T.I.'s sixth album, T.I. vs. T.I.P., was released July 3 and debuted at No. 1.
In May 2006, T.I.'s best friend, Philant Johnson, was killed and three others were injured in a gun shootout after a post-performance party in Cincinnati. The killer remains at large, and T.I. was briefly locked up a few days after the funeral on suspicion of failing to perform community service stemming from a 2003 arrest.
T.I. grew up in Atlanta and was selling crack by the time he was a teenager. After years of hustling to launch his rap career, recording demos and flying back and forth to New York shopping for a record deal, his first taste of success came with his 2003 album, Trap Muzik.
But the next year, warrants were issued for his arrest on probation violations for a drug conviction, and he was sentenced to three years behind bars. It wasn't clear Saturday how much of the sentence he actually served.
T.I. hit the big screen in his debut movie, ATL, in March 2006. He has a role opposite Academy Award winners Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe in American Gangster, set for release Nov. 2.
