Barack Obama on Monday once again distanced himself from his retired pastor, Jeremiah Wright, as the reverend grabbed the spotlight for the fourth day in a row by suggesting the furor around his controversial remarks is an attack on black churches in America.
Plagued by the ongoing uproar regarding Wright, Obama said Wright does not represent his views or vice versa.
“I have said before and I will repeat again that what some of the comments that Reverend Wright have made offend me and I understand why they’ve offended the American people,’ Obama told reporters while traveling in Wilmington, N.C. “He does not speak for me. He does not speak for the campaign and so he may make statements in the future that don’t reflect my values or concerns.”
Obama has been trying to get out from under the weight of Wright, an increasingly heavy burden for the Democratic presidential candidate since snippets of his sermons were released all over the Internet last month. Many of the sound bites by the former pastor at the Chicago church where Obama is a member have him cursing the United States as racist and terrorist, and suggesting that the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks were retribution for immoral policies.

I think its a big set up by the Obama PR team to get rid of the Wright issue once and fro all . Just wait there will be a big Obama press meeting with him condemning and disowning him. The Drudge report which has become a Obama 527 now has an odd title to the article which sounds like the latest Obama press strategy.
Obami rejected his white heritage early in his life.
Below are a few lines from Obama’s books “ in his own words:
From Dreams of My Father: “I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.”
From Dreams of My Father: “I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race.”
From Dreams of My Father: “There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.”
From Dreams of My Father: “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.”
From Dreams of My Father: “I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa , that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.”
From Audacity of Hope: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
“You know I could almost feel sorry for Obambi if he wasn’t a radical leftist who would ruin my country if given a chance.”
As they say, you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas.
Obama sat there and listened to Wright for 20 years. He not only tolerated that message but no doubt gave to it in the form of donations.
It’s easy to feel sorry for him until you realize he was swallowing that garbage hook, line, and sinker.
The Mendacity of Audacity.
Didn't his father run out on him?
“Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?”
“I think its a big set up by the Obama PR team to get rid of the Wright issue once and fro all . Just wait there will be a big Obama press meeting with him condemning and disowning him. The Drudge report which has become a Obama 527 now has an odd title to the article which sounds like the latest Obama press strategy.”
I think you are spot on with this.
The entire thing stinks, but dumber than dirt public is going to buy it all.
These Obama the black militant quotes are worthy of it's own thread.
If the GOP runs an ad with these quotes near election time, this will finish off the militant.
Obama also allowed his children to be indoctrinated by this raving racist. How do you “disavow” someone you've allowed to influence your children for 20 years? The answer: You don't-—not convincingly anyway!
'Couldn't happen to a better commie than Obama.
Sure is. Wright's so called explanations and excuses are simply ridiculous. I don't need to understand black churches when I hear anti-american and racist remarks. There is no excuse for Obama being this man's friend and sitting in his congregation for 20 years.
To quote one B Hussein Obama, "Typical".
