More can be read <A HREF="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=88552254" REL="nofollow">here</A>.<BR/><BR/>As Obama said, he can no more disown Wright, than he can disown his own white grandmother, who made racial remarks. I have often seen family members make comments I am not proud of, and disagreed with, but that does not mean disowning, in my opinion.Animeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412663541603155070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954254.post-40324395630756157352008-03-19T04:44:00.000+01:002008-03-19T04:44:00.000+01:00The point Obama made about the race was a courageo...The point Obama made about the race was a courageous effort on his part to bring end to this issue. But fundamental question still remains why he would take his daughters to this church even after knowing the hatred shown by the Rev. Wright, his pastor. He should have distanced himself from his pastor. As he says in his speech he can denounce him but he can not disown him. That is where I feel there is a bigger issue. All said and done I don’t know who is Wright and what he represents, but I know that in today’s speech Obama defended Wright. <BR/><BR/>I can only “hope” that the race goes back to issues.<BR/><BR/>Come November, let’s “hope” the best candidate win and make “history”.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00781360207060159036noreply@blogger.com
