Thank you, Jerome! This needed to be said.
Wolff109, can you explain why you troll rated my comment?
I thought Obama did well on this; renouncing the words but not the (flawed) person of Wright.
That shows where he stands on divisive words AND that he's not going to be cowed by stupid media controversies into throwing people under the bus.
What this showed was that his relationship with Wright is more important than a week's worth of media controversy. I respect him for that, and for standing up to Fox News & CNN's 24x7 pressure coverage in such an admirable way.
Since he won't throw his friend under the bus, I think that we can expect he won't throw his values and convictions under the bus the next time media and political opponents are hysterically urging him to do so.
