Former President Barack Obama defended his former pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright as Georgia Senate hopeful Rev. Raphael Warnock faces scrutiny for his defense of the controversial religious leader.
The 44th commander-in-chief made the remarks during a wide-ranging interview with “The Breakfast Club” radio program Wednesday while promoting part one of his memoir “A Promised Land,” released earlier this month.
Cohost Angela Yee asked Obama if he thought he would have had to distance himself from the reverend in today’s political climate versus during the 2008 presidential election.
“Rev. Wright is an example of somebody who — supremely gifted preacher. Trinity United Church of Christ, obviously, outside Chicago had an amazing ministry, still does. And I was very close to a lot of people in that congregation as well as Rev. Wright,” the former president began.
Obama went on to decry media coverage of Wright and argued that his words were taken out of context.
“In national politics, if you can take out a bunch of sound bites that say ‘God damn America,’ even if the context of it is prophetic and biblical and he’s trying to describe you know how somebody might feel — you know, he wasn’t promoting the notion that God was damning America. He was making a point that if you looked at slavery and discrimination you could see the conclusion of people feeling that there was not an alignment with Christian values and America,” he explained.

Them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office.
Jeremiah Wright, June 9, 2009
Wright was right, though it was 12 years not 5 or 8.
He was close to Wright until it became a political liability and then he dropped him like a $2 hooker.
Supremely grifted preacher is what he meant.
Paid to shut up and not spoil the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
Rev. Jeremiah Wright is a hatemonger as is Obama.
This clown wouldn’t know a ‘gifted preacher” if he was hit in the head by one.
So tell us, Hussein.
Who exactly does “God damn Ametica” inspire?
He was gifted, if you are a black racist, like Obama is.
Lots of ‘preachers’ make it big on delivering SOME truth, mixed with a heavy dose of charisma; also including an equally heavy dose of what the target audience wants to hear.
**So was hitler, so was mao, so was lenin and so was obama.**
The last one needed, and still needs, the teleprompter to sound ‘gifted’.

Yeah, well the “reverend wright” hates Whiteys and bammy agrees with him.
Lol
As Jed Clampett would say: “puthetic..., jissst puthetic”
Satan is a supremely gifted orator, too. Highly beautiful and former Head Angel, as well.
I’m sure Barry likes Satan, too.
Guess Obama was only kidding.
Obama should be in chains for what he did to this country!
