Obama Repudiates Wright
By Bernie on 29 Apr 2008
When you are wrong, the best thing to do is not flaunt it, but the Rev. Jeremiah Wright defiantly defended his outrageous views which has been seen repeatedly on TV and in the blogosphere the past few days. But his Unyielding and remorseless defense was not outrageous enough, he had to add insult to injury:
ABC News,
Obama Rejects Wright, Repudiates 'Outrageous' BehaviorWright vigorously defended himself against accusations he is unpatriotic, but in Washington he went on to compare U.S. troops to the Roman legions that killed Christ, to praise Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, and to suggest that the AIDS epidemic was a racist plot.
This was finally too much for Obama to bear. Today, he rejected those comments and repudiated Wright:
"When he states and then amplifies such ridiculous propositions such as the U.S. government somehow being involved in AIDS; when he suggests that Minister Farrakahn somehow represents one of the greatest voices of the 20th and 21st century; when he equates the U.S. wartime efforts with terrorism, then there are no excuses. They offend me, they rightly offend all Americans and they should be denounced," Obama said.
Based on Obama's remarks today, I will no longer bring up the relationship between Obama and the Reverend in any future articles in my blog. I consider that matter closed.

The wheels on the bus go "thump thump thump" over Rev. Wright.This whole situation with Rev. Wright is an inadvertent glimpse at Obama's judge of character. If Wright is the kind of friend and confidant that Barack has embraced for the past two decades, one can only imagine an Obama cabinet would look like.
