Obama sends Wright to the back of the Campaign bus. From FOX News.
Barack Obama appeared to disown his former pastor
Tuesday, saying he was “outraged” and “angered” by Rev. Jeremiah Wright
Jr.’s appearance the day before at The National Press Club.
In a press conference in North Carolina, the Illinois
senator used his strongest language to date to denounce Wright’s
controversial sermons and his public remarks since those sermons became
national news a month ago.
“Yesterday we saw a very different vision of America,”
Obama said. “I am outraged by the comments that were made, and saddened
over the spectacle that we saw yesterday.”
“The person I saw yesterday was not the person that I
met 20 years ago. His comments were not only divisive and destructive
but I believe they ended up giving comfort to those who prey on hate,”
he said.
