That's not the way it reads. If you didn't proclaim support for them you didn't explain yourself very well.

Obama is trying to win an election here, and this is politics. It's an ugly game.

"I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community."

They had that private discussion prior to Obama running, Rev. Wright told Obama that he should distance himself.

I still have yet to get an answer of what exactly he said to get Obama to do a 180 on him and disown him.

I liked some of what they did / believed.

That's not supporting them.

I like some what Iraqi Insurgents do / believe as well. Doesn't mean that I support them or like seeing American soldiers killed.

I give kudos to any group that tries to liberate their selves and overthrow their government; doesn't mean that I support every action they do, their group as a whole, or justify their violence.

when I said Wright was using Obama to further himself, liberals said they liked what Wright had to say. Reference: http://www.libertylounge.net/forums/...tml#post181645 But I haven't heard that since Obama distanced himself from Wright.

So when Obama disowned Wright, did that mean he disowned the African American community?

they didn't seem to think so when they voted 90%+ for him the other day

That doesn't answer my statement. Anyone in a political position who has a person that is saying things that not many people agree with and refuses to stop will lead to him saying, "I can't endorse what he is saying anymore." McCain would do the same if someone close to him started saying crazy garbage to the media. It's p-o-l-i-t-i-c-s.

then why didn't he do that at first?

I'm sure it was more about him being pressured and wants Rev. Wright started saying more things that were out of line, he had no choice. It's still really stupid to hold Obama accountable for what Rev. Wright said other than using it as a reason to get him to lose the election.
