I applaud the fact that he tried to stand by the Reverend and then because of the outrageousness of his comments, had to divorce himself from the situation. Reverend Wright is using his 15 minutes of fame (alright, it's been 20 minutes, thanks to the ever-intrusive media) to use his pulpit as a means of venting against and demonizing our country and to get back at someone, anyone. I would hope that thinking Americans would see beyond his "religious" rhetoric to see what is truly an embittered and hostile person. Enough of the smirking!
