B.O. camp: Clinton trying to 'distract attention'
 As Sen. Barack Obama returns from his Caribbean vacation, he and his campaign pick up where they left off -- wrapped up in the controversy surrounding his former minister, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Sen. Barack Obama resumes campaigning Wednesday following his Caribbean vacation.The issue returned to the spotlight Tuesday when Sen. Hillary Clinton responded to a reporter's question about what she would have done if she were a member of Wright's church. "I think given all we have heard and seen, he would not have been my pastor," Clinton said at a news conference in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Obama on Wednesday again condemned the remarks Wright made but implied the sermons were taken out of context. "They found five or six of the most offensive statements, and boiled it down into a half an hour sound clip or a half-minute sound clip, and just played it over and over and over again," Obama said while campaigning in Greensboro, North Carolina. Some of Wright's past sermons came under scrutiny nearly two weeks ago when a news report highlighted ones that included racially charged remarks. Posted by: Fred 2008-03-27 |
