What does Rev. Wright mean by "shabbos?"

[question everything]

From where did he pick this?

“Fifteen minutes before Shabbos I get a call from Barack,” Wright told the Times. “One of his members had talked him into uninviting me."

Yes, Obama announced on Feb. 10, 2007, which was a Saturday.

1. I am guessing the call came Friday...

...the announcement came Saturday? :shrug:

2. The Sabbath,

what do you think? That non-Jews don't know that Jewish people refer to the Sabbath as Shabbos?

[question everything]

3. Sure, but why would he use this term? Or were his comments addressed

to Jews? Or is talking to the NYT the same, as talking to the ADL?

Oh well..

4. according to the NYT link

“Fifteen minutes before Shabbos I get a call from Barack,” Mr. Wright said in an interview on Monday, recalling that he was at an interfaith conference at the time. “One of his members had talked him into uninviting me,” Mr. Wright said, referring to Mr. Obama’s campaign advisers.
