The Obama campaign says they have no plans to ask the Rev. Jeremiah Wright to step down from a campaign spiritual advisory committee. They're stressing that this committee -- the African American Religious Leadership Committee -- was a laundry list of people associated with the campaign and didn't really do anything. The group never actually met.
They say Wright has no formal role on the campaign (unlike some others on this committe who do have a formal role in faith-based outreach). They say he was included mostly out of respect to his long relationship with Obama.
Aides say he was not present during the Christmas 2007 sermon or the post-Sept. 11 sermon. They weren't sure about some of the others in question, are not sure when the last time the two spoke, and they stressed they don't speak frequently.

Too bad all this wasn’t held until AFTER Oboma won the nomination.
Where’s the Abglo-American Religious Leadership Steering Committee? And, he’s the great unifier? Pure BS.
Where are Anglo-Americans represented in his campaign?
I read a rumor that Obama will address this on Hannity and Colmes.
Indeed. When I first heard the tapes of the good *reverend*, his spew was sort of what I expected and kind of amusing as I pictured him in my mind, engaged in his frenzied rant. What caught me off guard was the cheer, applause and adulation from the crowd...that was downright scary in a mass hypnosis kind of way.
It’ll be real ineresting to see how TEAMHILLARY uses this.
..."me snout tells me the clintonista's have you tube clips"
Amen, pissant. Gerrie got bounced for much, much less. The double standard is quite apparent (and WILL come back to bit them in the butt).
“Wait till the films clips start showing up with you and your wife dancing in the pews”
Why do the clips of the congregation at these sermons remind me of the Def Comedy Jam?
Oprah left this ‘church’ fifteen years ago. I wonder why?
uses it?....they’re behind it
Obama needs to address the very tenets of his church, not just Wright’s sermons. Thanks for that link.
Obama just extended the story. HRC must be salivating. I wonder if they have another little bomblet or 3 to drop in the media connected to this debacle?
cuz it duz
“Oprah left this church fifteen years ago. I wonder why?”
Because she started her own.
I knew just from hearing her briefly that she was one of those whitey hating, nappy-haired, hateful, 70’s sorry ass black women. I’m about over all that @rap!
Thanks for the link.
...you can rest assured
LOL...okay...but Oprah didn’t become ‘Oprah’ by dissing (or pi$$ing off) her largely white audience. I think maybe Team Oprah said, nope not gonna go there (and affect her ratings or her megla deal w/King World). No. I think Ms. Winfrey is much, much smarter than the average Presidential candidate.
They demanded Hillary throw Ferraro under the bus, didn’t they?
Will omammy apoligize? Will he say how ashamed he is? I don’t think so. But, miss white ass will and she did throw ferraro under the bus.
