nother Obama lie. After sitting in those church pews for 20 years and exposing his children to these hateful sermons. Obama says he had no clue Wright said those things.
(CNN)-- Sen. Barack Obama says in an interview that aired on TV Friday that he would have left his church if his pastor had not retired and had not acknowledged making comments that "deeply offended people."
Obama talked about the dispute as it continued to brew over some of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's sermons and comments, which many viewed as anti-American and racist toward whites.
Bulletins from Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ in 2007 include comments -- reprinted from other sources -- that maintain South Africa and Israel worked on "an ethnic bomb that kills blacks and Arabs." They also quote a historian who said that "what the Zionist Jews did to the Palestinians is worse than what the Nazis did to the Jews."
The articles appeared in a church bulletin section called the "Pastor's Page," and include one that originally ran in The Los Angeles Times. That article was written by a senior official with Hamas, which the U.S. government considers a terrorist organization.
In an interview that aired Friday on ABC's "The View" -- excerpts of which aired on CNN on Thursday night -- Obama talks about Wright's reaction to the controversy.

Has anybody actually heard the whole sermon that wright's quotes are taken from?
It's actually a pretty good sermon. The news has taken it entirely out of context. In fact, I've looked at the church's main website, and can't find anything wrong.. All I've heard negative about Wright has been from the newsmedia. |

obama wasnt even there when the sermon took place and two if you listen to the entire sermon and not just the excerpts from the media you would understand where he was coming from it not racial its reality.
