Today, Barack Obama denounced Rev. Wright over his controversial remarks last March and his comments at the National Press Club.
Instead of quoting him, here is the man himself.
Whether or not this is enough remains to be seen, but according to recent polls, the Wright controversy has certainly done its damage, particularly among white voters. What people can do with Obama's denunciation is read between the lines. Rev. Wright said Obama is a politician and as a politician reads the polls and says what he has to say. Today, the polls show Obama in a closer race in North Carolina and nationally against both Clinton and McCain. Obama addressed that issue in the video above, and I believe him. Nevertheless, Obama's comments could not come at a better time.
As a side note, it is heartbreaking to see Obama throw the man who married him and baptized his children under the bus. As we say, this is politics.
