Barack: Rev. Wright Ain't My Mouthpiece!

Barack Obama just wants Reverend Jeremiah Wright to shut up.


In a presser today, the presidential hopeful blasted his pastor's controversial preachings on 9/11, AIDS and everything in between -- saying the comments make him mad, angry and are 100% opposed to what he stands for.

Though Wright was quiet when TMZ got him and his shove-happy security yesterday, don't expect him to quit yapping anytime soon.

19. From 1959 to 1961, Wright attended Virginia Union University,[1] in Richmond. Inspired by President John F. Kennedy's 1961 challenge to "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country," Wright gave up his student deferment, left college and joined the United States Marine Corps and became part of the 2nd Marine Division with the rank of private first class. In 1963, after two years of service, Wright then transferred to the United States Navy and entered the Corpsman School at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center, where he graduated as valedictorian.[10][9] Having excelled in corpsman school, Wright was then trained as a cardiopulmonary technician at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland where he graduated as salutatorian.[9] Wright was assigned as part of the medical team charged with care of President Lyndon B. Johnson (see photo of Wright caring for Johnson after his 1966 surgery). Before leaving the position in 1967, the White House awarded Wright three letters of commendation.[11][12][13]

In 1967 Wright enrolled at Howard University in Washington, D.C., where he earned a bachelor's degree in 1968 and a master’s degree in English in 1969. He also earned a master's degree from the University of Chicago Divinity School.[9] Wright holds a Doctor of Ministry degree (1990) from the United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio, where he studied under Samuel DeWitt Proctor, a mentor to Martin Luther King.[14]

26. The Clinton camp is not behind Wright the Obama camp is. They needed him to say more crap including dogging Obama which he did so Obama and Wright can appear to now be at odds with each other. They are doing what they have to, to win.

27. Took him long enough to come out against the preacher and only at the 11th hour.

28. Does Obama truly believe the American public is so gullible as to believe he sat in Rev Wrights church for over TWENTY YEARS and never once realized the Rev was a racist, hate monger, with delusional thinking? Our ministers influence us in how we perceive the world....so this scares me...altho Obama's wife's published racial comments about black supremacy during her college years began the downward spiral . I will vote for Cher now, before i vote for Obamination.

29. It is tempting to pity the individuals that still try and make excuses for Obama. In some instances you cannot blame them for falling under his well written speeches, that he introduced to the college students and bush haters.. Black America will not denounce any of this because they vote for Obama simply because he is black..If Edwards and Hillary were the choices every black voter would vote for the first black lady hillary, and everyone knows that..Now that many white Obama supporters realize they screwed up and fell under Obamas all speech and no substance, it is unfortunatley to late...Does anyone honeslty think that the superdelegates would ever give the nod to Hilliary? There would be race riots in every city, so the democratic party has imploded because the 94% of black Americans that voted for Obama cannot elect him in the general.. John McCain will win almost every state in the general election, and the "white man" will still be accused of being racist....
