Obama Throws Reverend Wright Under The Bus?

Kinda…

Let me say at the outset that I vehemently disagree and strongly condemn the statements that have been the subject of this controversy. I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies. I also believe that words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it’s on the campaign stump or in the pulpit. In sum, I reject outright the statements by Rev. Wright that are at issue…

He only rejects the statements…“that are at issue?”  So if new controversial statements from Wright come up we can expect another repudiation from Obama, right?

This sort of hedging isn’t exactly going to make this go away for Obama.  Plus, how much is this sort of rejection worth if Obama’s only doing it now that it’s become an issue in the campaign?

During all the “Obama is a Mulsim” nonsense Barack was quick to hold up his church as evidence of his Christianity.  It’s clear from his biography that both Wright and this church have been important to him for decades.  So why did Obama only come out and reject these comments from Wright after the public started paying attention them?

Probably because this is all just a charade meant to distance Obama from his crazy church.

But it’s hard for me to buy into.  Obama has been sitting in Wright’s congregation for decades, and I don’t think stuff like “God damn America” is new to Wright’s repertoire.  So what about all those years Wright was preaching racial hatred and anti-Americanism and Obama was just sitting there soaking it in?
