After 20 years?
Obama Would Have Left if Wright Stayed
WASHINGTON (AP) - White House hopeful Barack Obama suggests he would have left his Chicago church had his longtime pastor, whose fiery anti-American comments about U.S. foreign policy and race relations threatened Obama's campaign, not stepped down.
``Had the reverend not retired, and had he not acknowledged that what he had said had deeply offended people and were inappropriate and mischaracterized what I believe is the greatness of this country, for all its flaws, then I wouldn't have felt comfortable staying at the church,'' Obama said Thursday during a taping of the ABC talk show, ``The View.'' The interview will be broadcast Friday.
Let's see now-- at first Obama didn't have a clue, then he admitted he did have a clue, and denounced Wright, but then he said that he couldn't disown Wright any more than his now famously-racist (thanks to Obama) grandmother, but now he says he'd have left the church that he had attended for 20 years if Wright had not retired.
I didn't think so.
Pretty hard to tell the difference between left and Wright.
