My friend @rosepena on twitter shared this article with me that Obama is outraged by Rev. Wright's remarks at the National Press Club on Monday, April 28, 2008

Here is the article that she referred me to by MSNBC

Obama Denounces Former Pastor

Politics has reared its ugly head.

I still support Obama regardless. Sen. Obama has to do what he has to do to protect his best interests.

But still as you can tell even from my post below from Dr. Boyce Watkins ( the video was taken off you tube and I have no idea why?) the race issue is definitely something that cannot be explained for my community is split. Black people are diverse. We have different interests. We are not of the same **brotherhood** as what the world wants you to think. That is with any culture for we all have our differences. No one is the same.

For me, I speak for myself and not every black person in the world. That is why there are a variety of blogs with different view points of those who are a part of the African Diaspora.

I represent only ME.

Is It Hillary's Turn to 'Denounce and Reject' a Problematic Pastor? | Election 2008 | AlterNet

The blogs are talking about it, but the mainstream news is not. Still, this is interesting. Blogs such as AdvanceAmericablog, commondreams.org, the National Journal’s Hotline, and wakeupfromyourslumber.com are talking about the scandal that has enveloped the former Pastor of the Clintons, but it appears only the Utica, NY newspaper is covering the story. The rest of the mainstream media is silent. Perhaps the story isn’t divisive enough for the mainstream media to take notice. Of course, it is as unfair to blame Hillary Clinton for her former pastor’s abuses just as it is unfair to blame Barack Obama for Rev. Wright. Still, that means the mainstream media is far more enamored of condemning Obama for his Rev. Wright’s tirades about 9/11 and race than it is concerned with the plight of a seven year old girl abused by Hillary Clinton’s former pastor. From the Utica Observer-Dispatch:

Shows you how we all can get duped and I appreciate those who clear up information that I may get wrong.

I still rely on mainstream media for no one knows everything.
