Barack Obama's Speech Explaining His Views on Race, Religion and Politics

Video embed of Obama's speech, via YouTube, added by GreyHawk.

I am sure that the release of Rev. Wright's statements about race and religion were of concern to most American's whether or not they support Barack Obama in his bid for the presidency. The question was on the table--How could Obama have chosen the someone with the Reverend's views to be his pastor and to be a party of his campaign team? Did these revalations disqualify Obama from the presidency?

I think that Obama's reply is an important statement on the question of race and politics in this country as well as an affirmation of his fundamental committment to a better more just society. I am providing a link which gives the pre-released print version of the speech and a video, here.
