Scroll down for press conference blogging…
What, pray tell, could Barack Obama possibly say now to undo the damage of his two decades of bad judgment about Jeremiah Wright?
Will he weigh in on black liberation theology? Wright's phrenological discourse? How about Wright's defense of his comparison between the Roman soldiers who killed Jesus and the US Marine Corps?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Maybe we'll find out:
Obama was asked about Rev. Jeremiah Wright just now by a woman in Winston-Salem who tells the audience to watch his PBS interview, which will quell their concerns.
"I'm going to be having a big press conference afterward to talk about this," he responded, then referred back to a story the woman told about a mother having to borrow month to get to work.
"This is diverting attention from the first story that you told," Obama said.
So, he's advising supporters to watch the Bill Moyers interview. What about the NAACP and National Press Club diatribes?
2:00pm Eastern. Here we go. Barack press conference is on:
"I'm outraged by the comments that were made and saddened by the spectacle. The person that I saw yesterday was not the person I met 20 years ago. His comments were not only divisive and destructive, but they end up giving comfort to those who prey on hate. I believe they do not accurately portray the perspective of the black church. They certainly don't portray mine. If he considers this political posturing, then he doesn't know me very well. And I don't know him well either."
AIDS conspiracy: "Ridiculous proposition."
Farrakhan support and analogy of Marines/terrorism: "They offend me. They rightly offend all Americans. They should be denounced. And that's what I'm doing clearly and unequivocally here today."

Put the coffee pot in the stove momma. Obama is coming home.
Hillary just lit the victory cigar.
Obama keeps saying, in essence, that Rev Wright is causing Obama a problem in the election, that’s the real reason Obama suddenly finds the remarks so offensive. He keeps saying Wright is not showing respect for what Obama and the American people are going through.
Obama be goin’ afta Wright’s Mama...............
Pathetic.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
“In United States politics, a Sister Souljah moment is a politician’s public repudiation of an allegedly extremist person or group, statement, or position perceived to have some association with the politician or their party. Such an act of repudiation is designed to signal to centrist voters that the politician is not beholden to traditional, and sometimes unpopular, interest groups associated with the party, although such a repudiation runs the risk of alienating some of the politician’s allies and the party’s base voters.”
Well, at least one Clinton knows what to do with a cigar.
How about loving your country?
I know that, that is why is said it in Ebonics.
Do people really buy this BS? I’d bet that he already talked to his, so called pastor, and they agreed to let Obama turn on him until he got elected. Then you would see the whole clan in the white house. This country isn’t ready for this and won’t be for a long time to come. I think they have just burnt all the bridges for the next 100 years.
