Mr. Wright, who has long prided himself on criticizing the establishment, said he knew that he may not play well in Mr. Obama’s audition for the ultimate establishment job.
“If Barack gets past the primary, he might have to publicly distance himself from me,” Mr. Wright said with a shrug. “I said it to Barack personally, and he said yeah, that might have to happen.”

Indeed.
That makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?
Liberal logic...I guess...
Why, because he obviously feels the same way as his minister. This was brought up some 3 months ago, but yet, just now caught on or just could no longer be ignored by the msm. Obama said on a clip played this morning on Foxnew that he didn’t feel the way his minister did. Oh really, you mean it took Obama all this time to decide that. These things were said like what a year or two ago. Yet just know he doesn’t feel that way. It were me I would have left that church the same day and denounce it the same day. IMO
I really only have one question for Obama when he says yes WE can is the WE he is talking about Black Americans? or all Americans?
He felt that way up until he figured he could run a civil rights era Rhetoric campaign to win the WH.
Poorly worded I might add. Sorry folks. Know should have been now. Last sentence should read If it were me ... And its Foxnews
He represents a GROUP of people! And these malicious remarks about another race might just have COST HIS LITTLE BUDDY a good chance to occupy the White House. I ALWAYS judge people by the company they keep.
Sorry BHO. Neither your disclaimers nor your political declarations can be believed.
Is it possible that Barack, the Democrats and The NY Times, all birds of a feather, have decided that the best way to handle the current flap over the reverend Wright's sermons spouting racist bigotry, is to say "Barack knew it was a problem all along".
Yep! Abe Lincoln was right. You can snooker some of the people all of the time!!! At least we're sure Barack believes that!!
Obama is an unsuitable vessel by virtue of his own gullibility or his disengenuousness.
A strange choice of words. Is he a Christian, or is he not?
ML/NJ
He said he was a christian and a regular attendee at services. Now it’s depart from me I never knew you. Was he lying then and/or now. And this bird is supposed to be better than a Muslim?

Exactly and how can Obama say he would have spoken out if he had attended a sermon like this when this is in fact the rhetoric that Wright was known for.
Obama is either very nieve or a liar or both.
Yeah, I guess Obama didn’t know about the hate that vomited from the Rev. - - he had no clue? (Sorry, wasn’t born yesterday) And that said, he’s still better than Hillary.
