Oh, 'bama, please.

... I am outraged by the comments that were made and saddened over the spectacle that we saw yesterday.
You know, I have been a member of Trinity United Church of Christ since 1992. I have known Reverend Wright for almost 20 years. The person I saw yesterday was not the person that I met 20 years ago.
... I’ve already denounced the comments that had appeared in these previous sermons. As I said, I had not heard them before.
...But when he states and then amplifies such ridiculous propositions as the U.S. government somehow being involved in AIDS, when he suggests that Minister Farrakhan somehow represents one of the greatest voices of the 20th and 21st century, when he equates the United States wartime efforts with terrorism, then there are no excuses. They offend me.
...I’m particularly distressed that this has caused such a distraction from what this campaign should be about, which is the American people.
...People want some help in stabilizing their lives and securing a better future for themselves and their children. And that’s what we should be talking about.
Rev. Jeremiah Wright:
He’s a politician, I’m a pastor. We speak to two different audiences. And he says what he has to say as a politician....He goes out as a politician and says what he has to say as a politician."
