Obama will make a great President.

Obama '08

yeah, right….

Big liar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But your Pastor said you were just being a Politian Obama. You did not know what you were talking about or mean it. Why would he lie?

Sen. Obama seemed VERY much on the DEFENSIVE over this…… he didn't handle it smoothly like Hillary would with a crisis

I don't think this is the guy Democrats and Independents fell in love with before Super Tuesday….

We're now seeing his baggage, and this will hurt him in Indiana

Well its about time Obama has seen the light and realized Wright was wrong and misleaded. Hillary should be the nominee and will be. Obama has had to many mistakes. Even the national points show Hillary could beat McCain by 9 points but Obama could only tie him.

Obama is just saying this get elected his views are the same as Wright.

No need to explain Obama, you still have our loyal support.

Good for you Obama. It is time to put this man behind you and move forward.

Go Obama! Handle issue head on and on target. Put this man away!
I am more convinced than ever that Obama is the best person for President of the United States. Whenever there is an issue that disturbs the American people, he tackles it head on. Bravo!

No endorsement can equal the votes that Rev Wright will bring in for Hillary.

I think Obama fell into the hands of the media lynching, now they will accuse him of throwing Rev. Wright under the bus when only Yesterday they demanded Obama throw Rev. Wright under the very same bus.

Media = Ratings = Destruction = Win for Media and very big end of year bonuses……

Score 1 for the media and I guess Hillary…..

She will NOT get my vote in Nov. I will vote for McCain. If we're going to destroy this country let's do it the right way, courtesy of the Media.

to late Obama. You are tied to him now. We see you are just being a typical Polition, you know, the same kind you say you are not.

Thank you Mr. Obama, you never shy away from standing up for what you believe in and doing what is right. It is not always the easiest path you take, but it is the right one. I just wish the other candidates would take the same high road.

Although many of the divisive Hillary supporters will attack you and say it's not enough, or too little to late. I commend you for taking a stand on these issues and showing leadership in a time where people try to control through fear and hate.

I am proud to be a supporter of you and I know that the only way this country can change is with you as President.

Wright is simply excited to finally have the national stage he's always wanted to have. Apparently 8,000 people aren't enough, so now he wants to shout at millions. It is clear he is not the pastor he once was, now that he's gotten this new rush of power and influence.

He is an egomaniac with a serious thirst for attention and power. He's been marching his way toward complete condemnation from Obama and now he's finally reached that point. Obama is through with him, finally we can move on.

I am an African American and what Rev. Wright did on yesterday was unacceptable. He didn't have any regards to the fact that one of his members is running for the oval office.

This is not about Rev Wright but his behavior on yesterday was radical. He fell for the foolishless

you going to believe crazy priest or plain spoken obama…hmmm..tough choice

Hopefully the news media will stop putting Wright in the headlines now that Obama has said this. For crissake, I'm getting sick of it. Report on the real news, CNN, not the fake news that Hillary wants you to report.

"And he seemed to signal a complete break with his former minister." El finito. Let's move on the important issues.

Obama '08

Good job Obama. Wright has gone off the deep end at this point.

Go get 'em O! Fight back. All this back lash on you means only one thing: you are the front runner, and poised to be the next president!

OBAMA 2008!

What took you so long Berry????

OBAMA IS NOT REV WRIGHT!!!

PEOPLE LET IT GO!!

LET'S LOOK INTO ALL OF YOUR PAST AND SEE HOW MANY CONTROVERSIAL PEOPLE WE WILL FIND, THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHARE THEIR BELIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My fellow Americans..

How can we think this is still an issue? We have two options: We can either VOTE FOr Obama or Not Vote for Obama. Either way can we LET THIS GO! LET IT Go!

Oh My God, I can't stand this! Please, LET IT GO! LET IT GO! LET IT GO!

Good job! Let's get past this now.

Good Job Obama. I am with you..and I will vote for you..certainly not /never for Hillary the Bosnia warrior

I applaud Obama. I think Wright just wants attention.

He is waaay off message.

You guys are so cynical and probably racist. You will reap what you sow and so will he.

Give Obama a break!

Please people….

How can we think this is still an issue? We have two options: We can either VOTE FOr Obama or Not Vote for Obama. Either way can we LET THIS GO! LET IT Go!

Oh My God, I can't stand this! Please, LET IT GO! LET IT GO! LET IT GO!

Lets look at the ex Pastor of Clintons as well and see what he did and she did not condemn that action at all.

Get off you're Knee's, Castro…

The news media should be chastised for giving this retired minister a bully pulpit for his anger. This is irrelevant to what voters care about. His views have no effect on the economy, health care, securing jobs, global warming, foreign policy.

We don't care but the media keeps this story alive…This man and his views is not germane to how we need to address the world's problems. Barack Obama is not his minister's keeper.!!!

Can we please for the love of GOD give this a rest now. The Rev had his say now its over. If the media would not following him around no one would care where he was speaking. Barack this needs to be the last your comment on this matter as well, do not feed the beast. Those folks black or white who think you should have left the church were not going to vote for you anyway. It just makes them feel better to have an excuse no matter how flimsy to prove why you are not ready. Brush it off.

Go Obama! I understand your frustration with Rev. Wright and I agree that he is posturing and vying for attention. He should have been proud to have one of his parishioners running for President, instead he is running to have Obama obliterated by the media.

What a liar! You knew him for 20 years, buddy!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good job by Obama. Wish this wasn't an issue at all… Obama should not be responsible for what other people say. Wright is not running for president… Obama is.

Let's me get this straight. First, he denounces Wright but says Wright is entitled to his views. Now, at the National press Club Wright repeats the same things as in his previous sermons and obama claims to be "outraged." Hmmmm. Wright is well, right, Obama you're guilty of political "posturing." You should have separated yourself long ago,

You drank the poison, now deal with the effects.

Last time I checked Wright was not a politician, nor running for office?
As long as the media is dumb enough to keep reporting and giving him FREE coverage…of course he will remain in the spotlight.

This is why religion needs to be kept out of politics, or the media will keep dwelling on trivial issues that have absolutely nothing to do with policy or even viewpoints.

Just because someone goes to the same Church as you, speaks with you or is even your friend…does not mean that one automactically shares the same views.

Why is Wright even allowed to speak to the media? Who cares?

Please, Please, Please…

How can we think this is still an issue? We have two options: We can either VOTE FOr Obama or Not Vote for Obama. Either way can we LET THIS GO! LET IT Go!

Oh My God, I can't stand this! Please, LET IT GO! LET IT GO! LET IT GO!

Here goes the typical OBAMA spin, spin, spin, spin. But, now maybe his pastor can tell us who OBAMA REALLY IS . HMMMM ?? I am sure his pastor has big time Dirt on OBAMA that will somehow leak out to the media. Good Job OPERATION CHAOS !!

THE BUCKEYE STATE FOR HILLARY 90 %

and after THIS speech obama and rev. wright will get together and "pray in the basement" together… birds of a feather, birds of a feather…

will the media and his followers fawn again at his feet? LOL.

Your race speech and this is political posturing…

It is very obvious that you did not want to do either but felt like you were forced to because it could ruin your chances to become president!!!

Barack Please Distance yourself from this man. it may be something you would have to give thought to, but he is a thorn in your side right now, and he is concerned about no one but himself, as if he is intentionally trying to cost you to lose this election.

He is setting you up, maybe there is some jealousy or somthing going on…….

I guess not all black men are different from white men, as Wright suggests…

Your pastor was right about several things on you saying what a politician has to say, so please stop trying to pretend you are above it all you are a typical politican.

I'm so sick of the media giving jeremiah wright all this attention.

Shame on CNN, you're creeping closer and closer to Fox News status.

If you're not airing Wright's stupid speeches all day, you're talking about it, or else you're talking about how it's sad that he media is giving him all this attention (which in itself is just giving him more attention).

Does anyone notice that we're still at War?

I think he's definitely being a politician now. I will still vote for him because the other choices are so much worse. But I don't see him as being as honorable as I saw him yesterday.

Obama!——The No.1 Liar in this century!

No obama at all!!!!

NO OBAMA NO OBAMA!

liar, liar, pants on fire!!!! Get a life Obama, your so fake, you will never be President of the United States

LMAO. First he didn't know anything, then he denounced him , then he defended him, then he separated himself, then denounced what he said, Now he's outraged. I bet….you're true colors have shown. No one knew who you were. We were just "hoping" for something better because this country needs it. You can keep changing your story Obama, but it 's over for you. You aren't presidential material.

Smart democrats will vote for Hillary, unless they want McCain.

BULL!

WHATEVER!!!! You are just waisting everyone's time and money… You are just like him or you would have left the church years ago… I don't in anyway believe that in the 20 yrs you have been going to that church you didn't see any of this happen… GIVE ME A BREAK..

You people that think he is what we need in the white house are CRAZY!!!! Go ahead and vote for him and watch our country get turned over to Iran..

Outrage? The guy's been saying the same things for 20 years. This is exactly what Wright was saying about Obama. He's just another politician. I would have had respect for what Obama said if he had turned on his heel and left Wright's church when these remarks were first made. Now his "outrage" lacks any credibility.

END THE DRAMA. VOTE AGAINST OBAMA. HILLARY 08!!!!

In his BIG IMPORTANT SPEECH ON RACE Senator Obama said he could no more disown Rev. Wright than he could a member of his own family. If I were a member of Senator Obama's family I guess I should consider this a warning.

Wright is way out of line, taking Obama to task for seperating himself from his personal beliefs and commentary.
Wright should be going out of his way to seperate Obama from his rhetoric!
That's if he wasn't grandstanding.
DrFill

Too late, you're done for! We have heard and seen enough. You are an unknown factor that doesn't look good given what we have found out lately. In fact you look very bad at this point.

Giving speeches that sound like music to some peoples' ears is not going the change anything and it is certainly not going to get you the nomination and the White House.

Hillary will lead us to victory in November!!!

Jay, that is funny. Why would he like? He is a nut that is why. You might not like Obama, you might think Hillary is a better candidate, Obama does not have the background for the job, but there is nothing to suggest from his activities that he is with Wright on these issues. And so you and Peter, and dmw are not being honest. That is why there is no reasoning with you. Don' be like that, vote Hillary if you like but dont give way to the campainia mania.

! Fact. Obama did the right thing before not to through his pastor under the bus - what Wright pulled there on the Clinton organized (!!! see Drudge) press meeting is disgusting. Now it's time to smack the fist on the table !

Good for Barack Obama !

ouuuuch! good for Obama, he needs to distance himself with this man, not the cronie he wants on his political agenda.

So he goes to this church for 20 years and just now he has decided to speak out against his Pastor??? What a load of bologna. This is laugh out loud funny. Obama looks utterly ridiculous.

After 20 years, if you just figured out this guy was a kook, you might not be bright enough to be the President. And after the last 8 years, that's a low bar you are failing to reach, Obama.

Your spin comes about 2 months too late. Not buying it.

Let's talk about REAL issues already!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO MATTER WHAT SEN CLINTON OR REV WRIGHT HAS TO SAY ABOUT OBAMA. HE WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. CLINTON AND REV WRIGHT ARE SHOWING THIER TURE COLORS. HAS ANYONE EVERY THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT THEY MIGHT HAVE SAID BEHIND CLOSE DOORS ABOUT ANOTHER RACE. COME ON PEOPLE WE ALL SAY THINGS THAT WE SHOULD NOT HAVE. THE MEDIA HAS TAKEN THIS TO FAR AND WE ARE FOLLOWING RIGHT ALONE WITH IT. AND TO MAKE MATTER EVEN WORSE WE HURTING THE DEM PARTY!!!!!!!

Jay-Now you trust the pastor"s word. Give me a break.
Stuck on stupid!

I'm sad too. God bless you Obama

First Obama didn't hear him, then he did, then Wright was his beloved uncle, now he's throwing him under the bus, just like typical White grandma

Well, now I FINALLY figured out what Obama means by "change": it means changing his mind whenever he thinks it benefits him politically.

YOU CAN TELL THE WORLD THAT OBAMA. YOU SURE CANT MAKE ME BELIEVE IT. OF COURSE YOUR NOT GOING TO AGREE AND LOOSE YOUR CHANCES TO BE ELECTED. SMART PEOPLE KNOW ,DEEP INSIDE YOU AGREE WITH YOUR PASTOR AND LIVE EVERYDAY WHAT HE HAS THAUGHT YOU. IT SHOWS IN YOUR SPEECHES, ARROGANTS ,RACIST AND HYPOCRTITICAL BEHAVIOR THROUGH THIS RACE. YOU ARE A BIG JOKE OBAMA. GO HRC.

He lied when he said he wasn't his mentor. Obama has said many times in the past that Wright was his mentor. How can anyone believe this guy?

Why would he lie?? Ok so know we are giving Wright some credibility??? I think it's just simply STUPID SEASON now for people to think that Obama is secretly in cahoots with Wright-wing politics in an effort to destroy the country. Obama represents the next chapter in American race and political relations.
Go-Bama!!!!

Okay, now can we get back to where the candidates stand on the issues? Please stop letting Wright have more press than Clinton and Obama.

He's doing what he needs to as a politician to get elected.

Hope. Change. Just words.

Your campaign is in a big mess! Such a mess, you're done!

GO HILLARY!

Hopefully this means Sens. Obama and Clinton will start talking about some real issues - uninsured Americans, rising food costs, a looming recession and a war.

As much as I support Obama, I will still vote for Hillary if she gets the nomination. I will NOT go 4 more years with a Republican in office. Come on, Democrats - isn't that the real goal?

Jay, i'm sure you've lied for dubious, face-saving if not sinister reasons. I believe Wright is lying. Who know's why he would lie. Why does anyone?

Watching the live coverage I could tell that Senator Obama is hurt and he probably never thought that his former pastor would turn on him. I believe this needed to be done and this just shows what a great leader he is. He could have thrown Rev. Wright under the bus many times, but he practiced his faith and gave Rev. Wright the benefit of the doubt.

This needed to be done and I hope Senator Obama can now go back to dealing with the problems everyday Americans are facing.

Obama '08

Pastors with huge egos sometimes do this - Wright is not the first - to lead a successful ministry and then go bonkers when the spotlight shines on them. Think of some of the right-wing evangelicals who have gone down in flames. The pastor I saw over the weekend, smirking, smart-mouthing - this has clearly become much more about HIM than about Jesus - which strips him of all credibility. Hopefully THAT will become clear, and people understand that this man's ranting have nothing to do with Obama. The more nuts Wright proves to be, the easier it will be for the electorate to make this distinction.

Let it go, Obama. I thought you want to focus on more important issues such as gas prices and housing crisis. We really do not want to listen to another one of your scripted and rehearsed speeches.

It's getting very crowded under the Obama bus.

GREAT, if elected President Obama will be giving Press Conferences to air out his dirty laundry.

Denounce?!? Like he didn't really know what Wright said for 20 years, COME ON, Wrihgt didn't flip. Obama knew he was like this and used him for political gain. This is what he gets for getting into bed with him.

OBAMA BIN LYIN

I think the goodly Rev was 'trapped' into that situation. What a pity!!

Can we face the REAL issues facing America? Look at Saint Hillary's supporters jumping all over the place calling Obama names!!! LMHO!!!

It is awfull that a man has to defend the words of another! Now that Obama has distanced himself from Rev. Wright's words and to some part Rev. Wright's current actions. I hope that we can now get back to the business of this election.

If the media continues to play Rev. Wright sound bites, and then make claims that Obama's words are untrue then this election isn't about the issues but more about the media trying to discredit a man based on someone elses words verses Obama's own words and actions.

What can you saqy. He deals with problems head on. No excuses, no pandering, no ducking, no spin.

He's going to be a phenomenal president

No president have a forgiving spirit as Obama. What Jesus do? Exactly what Obama did, we cann't just slammed people just because they are wrong but gracful let them God.

I also love the fact that once again Rev. Wright is coming to your rescue… he all but gave you a reason now to through him under the bus… this will give you a clean break…

All of this is political posturing!!!

Congratulations to Obama for finally having the good sense to see Rev. Wright for what he is. Then again maybe it isn't as much good sense as political expediency. In any case, it's about time! However, I still won't be voting for Obama since I don't want another inexperienced novice in the White House as we have had for the past 8 years. Go, Hillary!!!!

I am so glad to see Obama come out and finally say he strongly disagrees with Rev. Wright! I couldn’t believe how this guy threw Obama under the bus, especially when Obama went out of his way not to make Rev. Wright look bad. I hope America can get over this and move on. We need change and we need it now!

Obama 08

How sad for the entire church in Chicago. Rev. Wright threw Barack under the bus yesterday and I applaude Barack for standing up under obviously painful circumstances to distance himself from the divisive remarks of Rev. Wright.

Barack will make a marvelous president!

Thank you, and God bless you and your family.

He did what needed to be done.

I don't defend the things that Wright has said, though I do agree many of them are true and aren't particularly divisive if said with different language.

I did defend the relationship he had with Obama, you can't say a man is a bad pastor because of some bad opinions he has, I am sure he was a wonderful pastor, aside from the handful of comments he made over many many many years.

Now he is trying to sell books, he is throwing Obama under the bus to get into the limelight.

I don't believe THIS is the man Obama saw when he went to church.

I accept the denunciation.

Vote Obama 2008

Well, Senator, you showed little regard for the Rev. when you threw him under the bus the first time, why should he show regard for you? This is too little too late and it is time for you to end this false campaign you have been leading. I for one, as a democrat, will not now or EVER vote for you. You have proved yourself to be the worse of politicians. If it does not go your way, you whine. If you say something DEMEANING ABOUT AVERAGE WORKING PEOPLE, that gets out to the public, you say you did not mean it that way. Now , a man that has been you minister for 20 years, you will denounce and throw to the wolves, because it is hurting your chances for the nomination. You have no LOYALTY to your race or this nation.
I AM DONE
Oh, and this comment will not get posted, because CNN is too far up your behind

I hate to say it but now Mr Obama will have a problem with the African American community.
This is a no win situation.

He should have done this in PA, but now that Mr Wright said Obama distanced himself only for political reasons Obama will look as if he is now disowning him for political reasons.

Many high ranking Black leaders who admire Mr Wright will turn against Mr Obama for denoucing him

I hear the sound of a creaky bike backpedaling.

Obama has flip-flopped here several times.

do u guys really want in the oval office????? think about it he will have Wright there too advising him. Obama is a fraud

Day late, dollar short Mr Nobama.

Hillary was winning Pennyslavania by 20% but only won it by 10% when the election took place. Obama narrowed her win. Well look at North Carolina. Obama was winning by more than 20% in polls and now is only winning by 10%. So it looks like theres alot of confusion out there. People are driving to both of them in the last months of primaries. Its going to get messy!

Good for you Senator Obama. You did what you had to do and I was voting for you then and am voting for you even more now. Once again you did a wonderful job in setting the record straight. Hopefully we can now move on to the real issues and forget this nonsense…although I have to say it will be very amusing to see Sean Hannity's righteous comments along with his sidekick Newt Gingrich (the model citizen) later tonight.

Obama 08 - our next President of the United States of America

Obama moveon your target is the White House and not the Pastor.

It only took you twenty years to realize that he did not share the same beliefs as you? Yeah, right. If you want to accuse someone of lack of judgement, Senator Obama, please look in the mirror.

Obama admitted that Wright's comments did great damage to his campaign…I just hope Wright will understand that and not use the spotlight like this again…If he costs him the nomination, he will anger a lot of people…he needs to fall back and shut up…

This is a war of words between Rev. Wright and Obama. This situation could escalate to higher levels and bring out a lot of unknowns.

Bout time you got on Rev. Wright.

He just wants to be another Jesse Jackson. Dont let him step on you to get there.

Rev. Wright - you left did it to yourself - your speech yesterday was so far out of touch, it sounded like you wanted to make Obama lose on purpose so you could say "SEE! TOLD YOU NO ONE WOULD VOTE FOR A BLACK MAN"

But you are sooooooooooo wrong - many people of many races are ready for change…you underestimate us, and frankly you are not uplifting our spirits in any way shape or form..

Man, it is so weird to see a politician speaking plainly and honestly - Obama is a breath of fresh air!

Not enough—not soon enough. I do no believe Obama, I think he and especially so his wife hold many of the beliefs of Rev Wright. If he is the nominee—I will NOT vote for him. I will not vote for McCain, It will pain me not to cast a vote at all—it will be the first time I will not vote in my lifetime, however I do not want this man in the White House and if my individual vote stops that froim happening—then so be it.

Sorry Mr. Obama that Rev. Wright no longer endorses you and says that he has to be a pastor and stick with the truth while you have to play your politics game. Which I think Wright was calling you a liar.

But dont wory Hamas, Ayers, Rezko all still love you.

Since corporate media is culpable for part
of the story, maybe it is time to stop supporting
the corporations that make money from us
everytime we buy a product that is promoted on
a media program.

Time to wake up and realize how much control
corporate America has in this conversation and
take it back.

OBAMA 08

P.S. I hope John Edwards is his running mate.

CAn we all put this to rest?

The American people dont care about Wright, we care about our LIVES!

Poor Obama?

I am not sure if I feel sorry for him, or if I just want to laugh at this typical Washington politician.

Well, I guess Obama can't explain this away after all. He was for Rev. Wright before he was against him. hmmmmmmmmm Sound familiar? Finally, everyone's waking up to see Obama for what he is, an empty suit who spouts platitudes. Go Hillary!

You know this is not a uniter. We should be focusing on the important things.

America,

I am going to stop shy of saying that the nation I once regarded as the greatest has become the dumbest.

Look, I am catholic and will always be a catholic. The catholic chruch has done some outrageous things in the past, including the molestation of minors in recent history. Does that mean all catholics are bad? I don't think

Obama's Pastor has some seriuos issues. Yes. Why take it on Obama. It's his former pastor.
Obama is running for president and offering hope for America, not his pastor.
Please wake up, people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am truly proud of his sense of right and wrong and the ability to seek it without stepping all over people. He has handled this issue with respect for all humans but with an urgency to end the divisiveness that the controversy has caused. I am sure, though, that his critics will twist this in anyway they can. People who do so will be guilty though of the same divisiveness.

GO OBAMA!!! I'm glad you are speaking out! WE SUPPORT YOU!!!!

OBAMA 08!!!

Gotta love it…Obama stands up for this clown and Wright accuses him of "political pandering?"

Unfortunately, Rev.Wright has not shown you the same respect, he is soaking up the limelight, only thinking of himself,not how his actions could ruin your chances of becoming our next President. So much for being a good Christian and Friend. It is a beautiful thing to show your devotion to someone,however,if by doing so is going to harm you, then you need put your welfare first and foremost. Unfortunately, we go through life and hurt by those we love and respect. Rev.Wiright did play a role in your life, but it seems that part of your life is now over, it's time to move on. I hope you find peace.

Affectionately,
One of your supporters

This guy is so sincere… He has his moral. America should take the chance to have this guy as its President.

Obama 08

I hope people are happy now that he has denounced Rev. Wright. Maybe now you will find something else for him to denounce or maybe want him to walk on water.

What else would he say.
Obama first said he was his mentor, then an old "uncle" , i wrote a book based on him
Now he never knew him over twenty years, never knew this side of him

please………..

I would be outraged if a man or woman that I considered to be a spiritual leader of mine decided to take my good works and effort and use it as a platform to spew hate and poison. This race is about more than one 'bitter' man or his hateful message. It is about hope and change for a better America.

Those of you who are still ducking sniper fire and accepting pac money, you can continue. You wouldn't have voted for Obama anyway. This was a convenient way for you not to vote for him. OBAMA all the WAY !!

Two men of God who appear to agree…to disagree. Peace brothers!

We need you buddy! Don't let the Hillary machine get you down…on the up side once you are done with her, Mccain will seem like a walk in the park.

Clearly Sen. Obama is trying his best to distance himself from his former pastor. However, he would have more credibility with the American people if it had not taken him twenty years to get to this point. And when it became politically expedient to do so.

SOMETIMES ITS HARD TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND I AM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR NOT TAKING THE EASY WAY OUT.

SOME WILL SAY ITS NOT ENOUGH BUT THOSE PEOPLE WEREN'T GOING TO VOTE FOR YOU ANYWAY & AS FOR "REAGAN DEMOCRATS" AKA "WHITE GUYS" IF YOU CANT "CONNECT" WITH THEM ITS NO PROBLEM YOU'VE BROUGH IN A DIFFERENT BASE TO TAKE THEIR PLACE, ITS ALL GOOD!!!!!!!

OBAMA 08′

Good Job Obama.
Your Detractors will never be satisfied with your denounciation and sincerity and they will always ask for more, because they want to always keep the wight issue in the news. This should be enough, move on with your campaign, Mr. Obama.

Well done Senator!
I am proud that you stood up to your former pastor, but without the dramatic diatribes of (trumpted up) anger that is typical of politicians.
Quiet, yet firm and resolute, denouciation of Rev. Wright's recent comments is the best approach. What a contrast to his former pastor who seems to thrive on drama/attention and anger.

OBAMA 08!!!!!

Non-issue. Anyone who votes based on this should not be allowed to vote.

I guess he said what he had to as a politician.

I feel your pain Obama but be strong. God will help you through this.

Rev Wright and Obama are indeed separate persons.

Rev Wright represents the past, but thank God there is hope because Obama represents the future.

He had to do this today. His campaign was becoming a media circus and what Wright did yesterday was all about Wright. How sad and selfish of Rev. Wright. Sen. Obama did everything he could to provide cover until yesterday. This Had to happen to put this issue to bed.

Honestly when the first rev. wright issue came about I kind agreed with what he was saying but now I really wish this man would go away. But now he has outraged me as well. He is completely egomaniacal and is really starting to piss me off.

Excellent Job Senator Obama. Now it is time for the American people and the media to let it go. It is a dead issue now!! Everyone should remember that Senator Obama is NOT Rev. Wright!! This is the kind of President that we need. One who does not shy away from issues and answers questions head on….without making up lies.

Obama might not be Rev. Wright or Rev Wright might not be running for President, BUT, Obama has had him in his life for 20 years. he married them, was his spiritual advisor, baptized his kids and so on. It might not be important to the Obama Cult, but it is to the undecided voter. Why would Obama continue to have this guy influence his life and around his family if he felt this way. He would have never said anything had AMERICANS not found out and not agree with all the HATE he was saying. Obama is only speaking up because he sees he is in trouble.

DROP OUT OBAMA!! GO AWAY!

Are you sure that Rev. Wrong is not on the Cllinton payroll.

Wow, Obama appeared so disconnected during this press conference…he had no steam and his thought processes were disjointed. I still think there is something much bigger going on here than what meets the eye. Something feels very wrong.

I love you man. Good job again.

WHAT? Obama's little Speech was nothing more than a matter of Convenience! Obama knew that his Pastor's words were offensive and racist! Obama stood by Wright from the very beginning and now when Wright runs' off at the mouth, Obama feels he has to reject him? You don't belong to a Church for 20 Years and claim this is the first time you heard your Pastor say these kinds of words and defend him up until this day. And now Obama wants to ask the American People to write Wright off and forget about him because "NOW" Obama states he has problems with what he says? You got to be Kidding? Does Obama really think us Typical White People can't see through that "BS"!!

Barack, you sat in his church and hung on every word for twenty years and wrote about how much you admired him. With just about a week to the next primaries and he is causing a spectacle for you, suddenly he is a changed man and this is not the person you knew. Do you think that aliens abducted him and switched his brain? Puleeze! You did make comments for political gesturing, that part he got right. Democrats, think long and hard about who you might put in office. We are just starting to scratch the surface on the man who wants to be President.

its really over for Obama. This white guy in ohio will never vote for him.

Obama is the BOSS, no matter what the boss do people will still criticize.
If it was is wife I could understand, but it is Pastor.

Move Obama!!

It's unfortunate how his Pastor has sort of characterized Obama as a typical politician. It breaks my heart to see Rev. Wright so desperately seeking media spotlight amist this grea t campaign for hope.

Here we go… Obama just being a politician!!! They keep throwing eachother under the bus…. OBAMA vs WRIGHT place your bets!

So Obama's saying out of nowhere, Wright turns into this crazy individual and Obama is not aware of it until this week? C'mon, he's known the guy for twenty years! Poor judgement is all I have to say about Obama.

Obama is lying.
The pastor was not reading.
The pastor was saying what he felt
Obama still hasn't distanced himself from this guy

Wake up American
Vote for Hillary and tell Obama to step down NOW

He handled it well. In fact he handled it well before. Barack Obama has more integrity than Hillary Clinton could ever understand.

Boo Hoo…a scary black man challenges the white myth that "white-is-right-no-matter-what"….especially the sad Archie Bunker-like Hillbots on here.

America is being screwed by the ignorance and blindness of its uneducated, bible-loving populous.

Thanks.

One thing's for certain when you watch Obama give these remarks (vs. just reading snippets of them) - he is in a personal struggle over this situation and he is saddened by what someone he highly respected has turned out to be. That is all over his body language and facial expressions. It's not just politics.

Good job Obama. Rev. Wright is being selfish here. You are running for president and not rev. wright.

I'm sure Obama was hurt and disappointed by the actions of Rev.Wright.
A "Hillary" supporter said she would have handled this incident smoother….
I say HILLARY would have thrown wright under the bus in the begining. Because she has NO loyalty for ANYBODY!!!!
Thanks Obama…maybe NOW the media will let this mess die!!!!

Cmon Obama - 20 years of goign to church and hearing this stuff and now you don't like the man and throw him under the bus? I do not buy it!

OH BOY…
First of all, to still suggest that he somehow didn't know that his pastor of 20 years held such views of the US, is a load of BS! Stop the lying already…. He tried to hide it first, then tried to take a middle ground in Philly, and now it all back-fired!
The more interesting thing however, will be what effect this will have on his support among African-Americans… Will they still vote for him overwhelmingly? or will they see him as a sell-out to the Liberals?
It will also be very interesting to see how Wright will respond to all this… If he chooses to go an eye-for-an-eye with Obama, it could be the kiss of death for his candidacy!

Well played by a masterful communicator.

Too little too late. Now that all of America has heard his views Obama denounces Wright. Sounds like poitician to me.

I'm a die hard OBAMA Supporter. However, after today I think that he has fallen away from his change idea. He seems to be saying anything to get elected.

Hillary is the worse of the 3 candidates. McCaine will continue to do as much for corporate America as possible. The U.S. political system and its candidates are all full of &((*U! I'm not into picking the less of the 3 evils. We need CHANGE in America and nether of the 3 will change. Barrack new what Mr. Wright said was needed. I don't agree with the second speach and its method, however he has put forth issues that need to be discussed.

CHANGE 08

NO OBAMA, NO CLINTON, NO MCCAINE

AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama, I am so proud of you. The folks of Wright's generation, our parents generation, have to much anger and bitterness at times. Sometimes we need to let them go. I am proud of you.

I must admit you were making me nervous, I was afraid you were not going to respond.

I don't know what to think at this moment. I am a Democrat and I really hope this doesn't hurt our chances of winning back the White House. Hillary supporters and Obama supporters are going to have to unite or here we go again. I don't think we can stand another term of bush politics.

Obama stay focus and not allow a pastor you respect to steal this election away from you.

God bless you and your campaign.

Good for you Sen. Obama. I am with you all the way.

Great job Obama! I am more than satisfied with your statements regarding the latest statements of Rev. Wright. Now let's get back to the issues!!!!

OBAMA 2008!!!

OBAMA 2008!!!

OBAMA 2008!!!

Poised! Excellent!
It is hot in the kitchen…he can stand the heat and cool the embers….
The next President of the United States of America…
Mr. Obama

Hillary 2008!

Obama was stuttering a lot.
Must be lying.
Americans have come to a conclusion easily about Wright and his views. Are we to believe Obama, Mr. Professor, is only finding out NOW what type beliefs his pastor has????
Come on.
He's lying.
Obama is weak.
Obama hasn't been vetted.
Obama is an extremist and so is his wife, pastor, and cmpaign friends in Chicago.
He will lose to McCain.
Go Hillary!!

OMG! About time. Now lets move on with the people's business like healthcare, gas prices and etc.

Sen. Obama 08

Now can we please return to our regularly scheduled program: THE ISSUES..and why BARACK OBAMA IS BEST EQUIPPED TO TACKLE THEM? Thank you.

“outraged”…bull

America wake-up!

Hillary all the way!

Again our own people are more concerned with tearing eachother down. The first black man getting ready to make history and his pastor rather save his ownself rather than turn the other cheek!! Read the bible Wright and remember it was the Church leaders who Jesus didn't like!!

Finally, a leader who is willing to face challenges head on. Obama has never done the "politically correct" thing, he has shown that he really is willing to stand up face the music. Bravo Obama, not just America, but the world needs a leader like you!

Obama you just know only yesterday? what's about the one he preached
last time? We Americans don't by that Obama……..you lied to Americans
you just need people donation for you and you never said before and you
just know yesterday liar…..Obama you are big liar. You said the man yesterday is not the man you know 20 years ago so, we don't by it you just
got advice from Car Rove that's why you speak today huh……! good adviser Obama. Hope you going to drop out soon before more damaged
to your future. Anyway we don't by it. Still not too late just vote for the right
people to be a nominee or President.

Thus ends the Wright story.

Now, let's talk Hagee. Let's talk the obliteration of Iran. Let's talk Clinton lying about the Weathermen.

And let's look forward to the Obama administration.

Put a fork in Obama… He's done!

So who's lying?… Obama, Wright, both?

Wait and see how bad this comes back at him from Sharpton, Farakan, Jackson… let alone Wright!

He's dead in the general… better think about that Supers… (and we've not even gotten to Rezko and Ayers)

NOBAMA No WAY

Obama still didn't denounce that antiracist man, it figures. Obama is a liar and is full of s**t. Like the old saying goes…" TELL ME WHO YOU HANG AROUND WITH AND I'LL TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE!!!" Obama=BAD PROGRESS!

Obama, I think that you need to back that bus up and drive over this man several more times. What idiot would throw a member of his own church under the bus? Rev. Wright, who is closer to Rev. Do Wrong!

LOL!!!! Only now your outraged?!?!?! How about the last 20 years???? Ridiculous to the point of absurdity!! Only now when he absolutely must, keep in mind he is just outraged, not denouncing the good Rev. after all he won't, the Rev. Wright is close personal friend and spiritual advisor!!! This tells us everything we need to know about Obama's judgment and willingness to tell the people exactly what they want to hear!!

—->Any of these 'good job' and 'go Obama' posts not from paid bloggers???

Good for you OBAMA!! Rev. Wright and (all of his attention-getting behavior) needed to be kicked to the curb!!! Good for you!!!!

When faced with a crisis… when faced with tough decisions… when faced with a choice — to pander or to speak from the heart… Obama always seems to rise to the occasion. Bravo Barack! You have my vote!

Obama did a great job!

Obama looked like a loser. It's clear he is weak when a real crisis hits. He is not up to the task of president, nor is he qualified. His judgement is horribly flawed. He is no different from Wright, because he sat by for 20 years knowing what this man was, and allowed his children to be infected. Good riddance. He is finished.

Excellent job Obama. Now Hillary, McCain and everybody just need to shut up about this. Why is it that no one has addressed the fact that the Clintons invited Rev Wright to a White house press conference or something like that when the Monica Lewinsky scandal came out? Apparently they felt they needed the advice and counsel of Rev Wright then?

Everybody is hammering down on Obama about Rev Wright when they are all being two faced.

Stay Focused Obama. You will succeed!

Obama is a real phoney.He now is doing "damage control" on the Rev Wright.He won't tell you the truth about his Uncle Rev Wright.The Rev was family for 20 years,came to his house many times for family dinners and let this man watch over his children.Now he is throwing the Rev under the bus.I think the American people are smarter than Obama thinks they are.They now see why Obama has kept his Uncle hidden away,deep in that dark closet along with William Ayers,and the Chicago mob.

Let show Rev. Wright and Billary Supports and
donate at least $25.00 to Obama.

This is not about Obama. It's about getting the Republicans OUT OF OFFICE!!! Let us not get distracted.

Donate! Donate! Donate!

What else can Obama do? I mean "Rev. Wright" is sinking his candidacy.

Not bye it! To easy, should have been done before you ran for office

When is John McCain goind to make similar announcements about John Hagee and Rod Parsley????

Now he distances himself from Wright. When he will be (I pray not) in the White House the reverend will be his chief of staff. No doubt it's only a game to fool white voters.

This is a nicely orchestrated political move for obama–he and wright pick a fight, and then he (obama) has the opportunity to publicly distance himself from a potential negative (wright). That is good old fashioned damage control at its best.

As someone who is an Obama supporter but always had to hold my nose when it came to Rev. Wright, I'm glad that Obama has finally repudiated the man and hopefully people will realize that the person running for President and the man who is a retired preacher are not the same people. Hopefully people will vote on the issues and if the candidates are alike on the issues, vote for the person who seems the most honest and capable. For me, that person is still Obama.

Cowboy Jack,

"Sen. Obama seemed VERY much on the DEFENSIVE over this…… he didn't handle it smoothly like Hillary would with a crisis"

You mean like laugh it off? Or maybe ignore it and pretend it didn't happen? What about blame it on a vast right wing conspiracy?

he got my vote back!!!!!
go OBAMA!!!!!

Ah, the socialist of many colors and many coats. Wright is pretty despicable, but at least he is honest in calling Obama a politician. That's exactly what he is, and frankly, not a very adept one. MAYBE he is moderately qualified to serve in a state Senate, but this guy is so totally inappropriate for the White House — it amazes me that so many people just lap up his empty verbiage like kittens lapping milk up from a plate. I will vote for anyone other than Obama, and happily.

GOOD OBAMA…THROW THE GUY UNDER THE BUS….I CARE LESS ABOUT HIM

Mbr states they are using os9, and when they try to go to the next page, it does not come up. They would like a phone call for service today.

Now who is saying anything to get elected. How does it feel to be a POLITICIAN BARACK?? I can not wait to hear Rev. Wright's rebuttal. He'll tell everyone how you've heard many sermons no different to what he said yesterday and you never got up and walked away. The best is by your opposition to Rev. Wright, you've just alienated a huge portion of your african american constituency. You're going down Barry.

How can he continue to insult our intelligence? He sat in that church for years and wants us now to believe he does not agree with his minister? Right. He is insulting every member of the african american community. He needs to apologizze to the african american community and pull out. This is pathetic.

How can Senator Obama not knowing his own Pastor? I don't believe that this is the first time that Senator Obama heard of such things after so many years attending church. From seeing Rev. Wright's comments on TV, I do believe that he has been preaching these nonsense for many years and Senator Obama continued to show his supports/beliefs for the past 20 years until the truth comes out during the Presidental election.

Why is he outraged now? Rev. Wright didn't say anything new yesterday. He'd said it all before, but NOW Obama is outraged? Is it because he sees his political career slipping away? He made the comments today because he is a politician….he had to try to salvage his political career.

Obama appears quite uncomfortable when faced with shortcomings or the need for explanations. This makes me weary of just how little we know about him. On the other hand, Hillary has been exposed to the world with nothing left to surprise us. My thought is that we need to leave Obama to work things out between he and his Pastor and gain more experience before attempting to run the greatest country in the world. Let him first figure out how top run his personal affairs, but not at our expense. The Obama crowd needs to back off of Hillary - stop the "hate mongering" and nominate her for her worthiness.

What about John McCain's or Hillary Clinton's pastor or minister. Where is the srutiny on them. Let's dig some dirt up on their churches. It's time for demorcrats and independents to smarten up and quit being led around like sheep. The naysayers have questioned every democrat's patriotism in the last 4 elections. Barrack does not have to show his patriotism by wearing a flag on his lapel. He shows it by his heart and courage in fending off these idiotic attacks. For the last time, Barrack is his own man, not his ex-pastors puppet.

To all those who think that this should not be an issue, let me explain to you why it is:

There is little, if any, policy differences between Obama and Hillary.
There is little, if any, differences between the experience of the two.
There is little, if any, differences between the qualifications of the two.

Hillary has A LOT of baggage, a shady past, a questionable character, and is generally thought of as unelectable in a general election.

Obama also has, apparently, a lot of baggage which is just now beginning to come out.

As the candidates (both relatively unqualified in my opinion) are so similar, character is the only defining distinction between the two.

As Hillary has a lack of character, she will not want to see any question of character related to Obama just slip away. In this sense, she is correct. As the president, character matters perhaps more than anything else.

So when you have two mediocre individuals without any real well-thought out solutions or proposals poised to become the democratic nominee, character (or lack thereof) is the only thing that you can fight over.

In that sense, Wright, Rezko and the Weather Underground are as legitimate a topic as Whitewater, Cattle Futures, Islamic Doners, Paul vs. Clinton, TravelGate.

Next election, perhaps we can find some candidates that offer style AND substance!

Hillary Clan need something to hold on to. Rev. Wright is not who you are and they know it. Hillary has made too many mistake with her campaign and surrounded herself withe the wrong advisors. If I had a choice between hillary being a blaten liar and obama(getting blamed for someone elses words) I choose Obama.

PEOPLE DO NOT DEFINE US.WE DEFINE OURSELFS . GRACE

I dont blame Obama for what Rev.Wright comments.
We can't make people stop talking.

I'm still for Obama he will change the world for all of us.

OBAMA still 2008

She will NOT get my vote in Nov. I will vote for McCain. If we're going to destroy this country let's do it the right way, courtesy of the Media.

I am 100% for Obama, I do not believe in characterizing a man with another man's words.

Also, I'm not the biggest fan of Hillary, but I do know that a democrat needs to be in the Oval Office come next January. Obama will win, but in the very unlikely event that he doesn't, its important that if you supported Obama, a democrat, from the beginning, that you continue your support for the Democratic Party come November. It's important.

It's inspiring to see Obama stand up and directly confont these issues with complete honesty, something we never see from the Clinton Machine.

Now you're just outraged? Wow, nice try spinning this one. I think you shot another "air ball" on this whole debacle.

Senator Obama told Reverend Wright that he had to speak bad about him.
He is acting like a politician.
He is not distancing himself from this pastor and he is still defending his church.

Reverend Wright said that Obama is a politician and had to say what he had to say.
