No headers Sen. Barack Obama said he is "outraged" by comments his former
minister, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, made Monday at the National Press
Club and "saddened by the spectacle."
Sen. Barack Obama on Tuesday denounced comments made by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
"I have been
a member of Trinity Church since 1992. I have known Rev. Wright for
almost 20 years," he said at a news conference in Winston-Salem, North
Carolina. "The person I saw yesterday is not the person I met 20 years
ago."
Obama said he is outraged by Wright's remarks that seemed
to suggest the U.S. government might be responsible for the spread of
AIDS in the black community, and his equation of some American wartime
efforts with terrorism.
"What particularly angered me was his
suggestion somehow that my previous denunciation of his remarks were
somehow political posturing," said Obama, who added that Wright had
shown "little regard for me" and seemed more concerned with "taking
center stage."
Obama
said Wright's comments were not only "divisive and destructive," but
they also "end up giving comfort to those who prey on hate."
