Obama distances self from Wright

If people thought Obama wasn't clear enough about he thinks about Jeremiah Wright, he made it quite clear this afternoon.

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 that they end up giving comfort to those who prey on hate, and I believe that they do not portray accurately the perspective of the black church.

They certainly don't portray accurately my values and beliefs. And if Reverend Wright thinks that that's political posturing, as he put it, then he doesn't know me very well. And based on his remarks yesterday, well, I might not know him as well as I thought, either.


One would hope that settles the matter. The racist MSM, however, will make sure it won't.
