Q: Do you regret accepting his endorsement?
McCain: It’s nonsense. I don’t have anything more to say about that. Of course–I apologize for that. It’s nonsense. I reject that categorically and I would point out there’s a lot of people who have endorsed me. They support my views. That does not mean that I support–would I consider repudiating his endorsement? I certainly condemn those parts of his remarks. I continue to appreciate his support for the state of Israel and for many of the good things that he and his church has done. But I repudiate as strongly as possible those remarks and those of the Catholic church as well.
Obama danced around the issue, even denying he was aware of many of Wrights comments and views. If he had taken a stance like this, instead of a middling ambiguity about the complexity of race relations regarding "God Damn America - it's in the Bible"* then I think the issue would be less relevant.
*Obama did denounce this comment, but not the broader point Wright was making.
Race card is always nice though.
