Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama Get Beat Up

Barack Obama is looking to get his campaign back on track today after making a strong effort to distance himself from his controversial former pastor.
An angry Obama told reporters yesterday he was ``outraged'' by what he called a ``performance'' by Wright at the National Press Club in Washington on Monday and added that he was ``saddened by the spectacle.''
Wright used the forum to reiterate some of his charges against the U.S. government, including his suggestion that the government invented the AIDS virus to destroy ``people of color.''
Obama calls the comments ``divisive and destructive'' and says ``they end up giving comfort to those who prey on hate.''
The Illinois senator will hold a major rally tonight at Indiana University six days before crucial Democratic primaries in Indiana and North Carolina.

You liberal fools, your media played you like a bunch of idiots. First the Rev. Wright speeches have been out for over a year, but your media held off long enough for Obama to get ahead of Hillary. Once he was seen as unbeatable they let the cat out of the bag about Wright, with enough time before the general election for Obama to heal.

Sorry, that was a typo by me. I meant Wright's opinions "are not" Obama's opinions. They are separate individuals. Obama has no control over him.

To be clear. I hate Hillary. And I respect and trust Obama.

Obama '08!!

clinton's long term friend with rev is a convicted molestor so do you think clinton is a molestor too ?

Wright's opinions are Obama's opinions. Obama is a different kind of guy.

This was just another show put on for the media. Wright was correct. Obama was saying what he has to say to get votes.

I don/t think he can because I think Wright is going to go full time mainstream media as much as possible. He loves the spotlight and the media wants ratings.

Watch this clip. More problems coming up.
