Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has come out and denounced his former pastor on Tuesday, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Rev. Wright has been a major hurdle for the Obama campaign for quite some time now.
Obama came out on Tuesday and stated that the racially charged comments spewed out of the mouth of Wright were nothing but “appalling.”
Rev. Wright put a huge cloud over the Obama campaign on Monday when he spoke at the National Press Club in Washington. He stated that the U.S. deserved some blame for the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Obama stated on Tuesday, “I want to be very clear that, moving forward, Rev. Wright does not speak for me, he does not speak for our campaign.”
Obama continues to lead rival Hillary Clinton in the satte-by-satte contests.
