Obama suggests ex-pastor is contrite

Democrat Barack Obama seemed to suggest in an interview aired Friday that his former pastor has acknowledged that his controversial remarks were inappropriate and hurtful, although there are no public accounts of the minister having done so.
"Had the reverend not retired and had he not acknowledged that what he had said had deeply offended people and were inappropriate and mischaracterized what I believe is the greatness of this country, for all its flaws, then I wouldn't have felt comfortable staying there at the church," ...
Obama spokesman Bill Burton said the senator's remarks did not imply that Wright has expressed misgivings about his statements.
Obama ...did not leave the church or repudiate the minister himself, who he said was like a family member.

Wright never expressed misgivings about his statements.
Obama felt un-comfortable but would he leave ?
More legal double talk.

Contrite=guilt. The problem with guilt is narcissism—you think you are better than your actions. Guilt also results in repetitive form in people who are doing two things at once—being guilty and doing guilty things. The solution is do one or the other and dismiss the other. In this instance you conquer guilt.
Reverend Wright will never stop thinking what he said; he may stop for a while saying it.

Obama spent 20 years listening to Wright's hate speech and didn't feel offended enough to comment or leave the church.
He can back pedal all he wants and he'll only convince those who refuse to see the truth about him.
You are judged by the company you keep, Obama has claimed he looked to Wright for spiritual guidance and political decisions.
With each word he utters on the subject of Wright, he helps to build a stronger case against his own judgement.
A man who claims to be presidential material couldn't sit quietly for 20 years while listening to sermons that violated his own beliefs. No one with character could.
Game over

More of his much-ballyhooed “smooth talk”? I’m “contrite” over this as well - I’m really sorry Louie K, Rev.Wright, and Barack Hussein Obama ALL suck.

Obama can say that Wright is contrite just as well as I can say that Obama is a muslim. The proof is in the pudding.
To: george76
Was Barack Obama ever baptized ?Its the baptism of the Holy Spirit that counts.
Now there does seems to be some kind of spirit in the church he goes to...but I'm not quite sure they have the right one.

Obama needs some of those huge mining dump trucks to transport so much BULLSPIT!
First, Obama felt perfectly comfortable choosing and remaining in this racist black-nationalist far-left church for 20 years. Obama never felt he needed to distance himself from the ideas of this pastor until it became a campaign issue.
2nd, the new pastor was there enthusiastically cheering Rev. Wright and jumping out to pat him on the back during some of the worst ranting, so there is no reason to believe anything is really different except that maybe they’ll try to tone it down until election day.

He probably is contrite seeing how he likely singlehandedly ended Obama's chance to be President.
Even still, Write has no control over his trashy mouth. It is like turret's syndrome.

There is ZERO empirical evidence to suggest that Wright is contrite. Obama is lying.
Hell, for that matter, Obama’s not contrite for publicly libeling the woman who raised him from 10-through 18 as a “typical white woman” and a racist bigot.

Obama is excavating an ever deeper hole for himself. The only acceptable statement was the minister is wrong, I reject him and his statements, I was wrong to go along w this crap I am moving on.
All this other BS just misses the point. Obama can't be a leftist black AND unite the country. He has to just be an American.
