When video showcasing the outlandish church sermons Barack Obama has been listening to for over fifteen years surfaced, Obama said that Reverend Jeremiah Wright was like his crazy old uncle, who he couldn't control, nor would he want to control, either. He supported Reverend Wright's opinions with vigor and pride.
Then the media coverage continued, which caused more and more questions to surface about what kind of church Obama has been attending. Of course, Senator Obama started to put a little distance between himself and his adorable and "bombastic" religious mentor, by saying he disagreed with his methodology.
On Monday, Reverend Wright addressed the National Press Club, during which he amply made another fool of himself with his racial divides pouring forth as if a seeming Mount Vesuvius choking the political aspirations of Senator Obama. With his poll numbers slipping and Hillary's star on the rise again, Obama has now stated he is "outraged [and] saddened by the spectacle" put forth by his now estranged minister.
Can they ever mend the divide that exists between them? Perhaps, Obama will have more time to mend fences after he loses the Democratic presidential primary.
