"He had given a performance. It was more than just him defending himself. He was presenting a worldview that contradicts what I stand for. He suggested that my denunciation were political posturing."

"The person I saw yesterday was not the person I know now 20 years. I understand he was angered, but the insensitivity and outrageousness shocked me and surprised me.



"I felt as if there was a complete disregard for what the American people are going through.Now is the time not for us to get distracted, but to pull together. But that didnt matter to Wright, he only wanted center stage."

"Wright did not show concern for me, campaign, or American people. Free to speak, but I feel very strongly and make clear I dont subscribe to his views, believe they are wrong and destructive. "
New pastor, wonderful young pastor. value Trinity Church.

"Strains on relationship. It is a 'spectacle'."

" I dont think it's that hard to figure out. My reaction is more about who I am. What Wright said directly contradicts everything in my life..how I was raised, my decisions on public service. issues, books I wrote, convention speech, everything in campaign.
I tried in Philly to provide a context, make constructive what he said..but nothing constructive yesterday. it was a bunch of rants not grounded in truth. Cant construct something positive out of it"

"At a certain point, what one says contradicts what I believe, and questions it, THATS ENOUGH!!!

"Show of disrespect to me. Insult to campaign."


Question: attack on black church?

"Liberation theology..Im not a theologian. I went to church and listened to sermons, what I heard, was emphasis of social struggle, striving for quality and fairness. Dr. King most prominent example. I saw this yesterday, when one focuses of historically oppressed, lose sight of everything else"
"I did not view it as attack on black church but simplification of who he was, piqued interest. The only aspect of it that had to do with black church..people maybe surprised at 'hollerin'. Cultural gap. Sad thing is, sound bytes created caracature of him.

Yesterday he caracatured himself. Made me angry, and sad.

"there has been great damage. Our friendship never the same after this."
