Obama Discusses Wright Controversy In New Web Video

Barack Obama has released this Web video, essentially a video version of yesterday's blog post responding to the Jeremiah Wright controversy:

"Because these particular statements by Rev. Wright are so contrary to my own life and beliefs, a number of people have legitimately raised questions about the nature of my relationship with REv. Wright and my membership in the church," Obama says, then talking about his long-time membership in the church's community and with Wright as a human being.

"In other words," Obama said, "he has never been my political advisor — he's been my pastor."
