barry obamanates wright

FOX NEWS Chris Wallace (emphasis added)

WALLACE: Do you think that Reverend Wright is just the victim here?

BARRY: No. I think that people were legitimately offended by some of the comments that he had made in the past. The fact he's my former pastor I think makes it a legitimate political issue. So I understand that.

WALLACE: Did you talk to reverend Wright recently about his decision to make a series of public appearances at this particular point?

BARRY: You know, I didn't talk to him about that. I had talked to him after all this had happened, partly because I regretted — I always regret people who are civilians, essentially, being dragged into these political fights.

[He didn't seem to mind having Chelsea Clinton and the entire Palin family being attacked all the way down to a six-moth-old special soul ad an incesting father.]

BARRY: And I expressed to him — I said, "Look, we have very strong differences. I do not agree with the comments that you made. On the other hand, I regret that you have drawn so much attention.

He means him.

BARRY: And I also regretted the church drawing so much attention. I mean, you had reporters who were coming in and taking church bulletins, you know, the sick and the shut-in, and they were getting phone calls from reporters, and so that was something that I regretted, and I talked to him about that.
