A Chicago minister who delivered a fiery sermon about Sen. Hillary Clinton having an advantage over Sen. Barack Obama in the presidential race because she is white is no longer a part of the Obama campaign.
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright is no longer serving on the African American Religious Leadership Committee, campaign sources told CNN.
In another sermon, Wright had said America had brought the September 11 attacks upon itself.
Obama denounced some of Wright's sermons on Friday, telling CNN's Anderson Cooper: "
These are a series of incendiary statements that I can't object to strongly enough."Earlier Friday, before the announcement of Wright's departure from the Obama camp, the Illinois senator denounced some of the ministers's sermons, calling them "inflammatory and appalling."
"I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies," Obama wrote on the liberal Web site Huffingtonpost.com about recently surfaced sermons from Wright -- his longtime pastor at the Trinity United Church of Christ.
Anyone else smell the insane amount of bullshit here? Obama has been going to this guy's church service for 20 YEARS and only now, after everyone has seen the racist and idiotic nature of Obama's "spiritual advisor" does he now denounce his statements and distance himself from it.
If he failed to do so before everyone found out, what else does Obama have to hide? When you only do what's right when everyone is looking, you can't be trusted to do the right thing when no one is looking.
