Obama scrapes Wright off the bottom of his shoe
At a press conference on Tuesday, Barack Obama "broke forcefully" with his controversial former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. The feisty reverend had made increasing bizarre comments to media groups over the weekend, ending with an animated performance at the National Press Club on Monday morning. Obama called the comments and the appearance, "a show of disrespect...that not only makes me angry, but also saddens me."
The normally laid-back senator also said, "I don't think that he showed much concern for me... for what we're trying to do in this campaign and what we're trying to do for the American people."
