Obama has has disavowed incindiary statements made by his pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and he has been removed from his campaign’s African American Religious Leadership Committee.
I’ve not been a fan of Obama, but this should be enough. For all intents and purposes, except for literal genetics, this guy is his family. He was married by him, his daughters were baptized by him.
His statement about him sometimes being like an uncle who makes statements that you disagree with is in my assessment 100% true.
In any sane world, this should close the matter. In fact, it should also remove the whole “Obama as Muslim” slime too.
He’s not a Muslim, and he has a nutty pastor to prove it.
Of course, the world of a presidential campaign is not “sane” by any measure.
This sucks.
The only bright spot is that I think that he has handled it well, which bodes well for him if he gets the nomination.
