I agree with Obama on this one, I hope Americans are intelegent enough to see through the attacks...
"When asked to respond, Obama noted that he disagreed with Wright's comments and stated, "Here is what happens when you just cherry-pick statements from a guy who had a 40-year career as a pastor. There are times when people say things that are just wrong. But I think it's important to judge me on what I've said in the past and what I believe."[23] Obama has also stated that Wright "is like an old uncle who says things I don't always agree with."[24]
On his comments about 9/11, Obama has said[13]:
“The violence of 9/11 was inexcusable and without justification.,,. It sounds like he was trying to be provocative. ...Reverend Wright is a child of the 60s, and he often expresses himself in that language of concern with institutional racism and the struggles the African-American community has gone through,.... He analyzes public events in the context of race. I tend to look at them through the context of social justice and inequality.”
On March 14, 2008, Obama wrote an article for the Huffington Post website entitled On My Faith and My Church in which he said the following:
Let me say at the outset that I vehemently disagree and strongly condemn the statements that have been the subject of this controversy. I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies. I also believe that words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it's on the campaign stump or in the pulpit. In sum, I reject outright the statements by Rev. Wright that are at issue.[25]"
