Democrat Barack Obama said Tuesday he was outraged and appalled by the latest comments from his former pastor, who asserted that criticism of his fiery sermons is an attack on the black church and the U.S. government was responsible for the creation of the AIDS virus.
The presidential candidate is seeking to tamp down the growing fury over Rev. Jeremiah Wright and his incendiary remarks that threaten to undermine his campaign.
"I am outraged by the comments that were made and saddened by the spectacle that we saw yesterday," Obama told reporters at a news conference.
It seems that Reverend Wright let his ego get in the way of his judgement and he took personal offense at Obama's dismissal of some of his views.
Obama did a great job of letting the media and voters know that he does not condone nor agree with the more bizarre beliefs and opinions of his former pastor.
Here is the video of Obama's statements today:
