I'm not interested in hearing the speech or reading it. As far as I'm concerned it's all platitudes (all show and no go) and he's just trying to CHA (cover his a**).
Here's one thing he said--see if you buy it.
"As such, Reverend Wright’s comments were not only wrong but divisive, divisive at a time when we need unity; racially charged at a time when we need to come together to solve a set of monumental problems – two wars, a terrorist threat, a falling economy, a chronic health care crisis and potentially devastating climate change; problems that are neither black or white or Latino or Asian, but rather problems that confront us all."
So now the words are divisive but for the last 20 years you sat in a pew at that church and listened to those words and called Pastor Wright your friend and spiritual advisor they WEREN'T DIVISIVE?????
That goes beyond the smell test....just not buying it.
He also said: "Some will see this as an attempt to justify or excuse comments that are simply inexcusable."
Yep, that's exactly the way most reasonable objective people see it. You're saying that's just the way it is, just the way an African American church and pastor are. HOW DISRESCTFUL to the thousands of pastors across this country who DO NOT behave the way Pastor Wright did.
So here's a link if you'd like to read the speech....
