Now it looks to me like he feels his remarks are not remarks Obama would share.
But THIS looks to me that he does share in the rhetoric...

In 2004, Obama told the Chicago Sun Times that Pfleger was one of his three spiritual mentors.
Now if 2 of his 3 spiritual mentors are caught publicly denouncing the country, attacking politicians because of their race, and spreading bigoted hate speech...and he still hung around them the whole time, then if it's not agreement, then it's AT LEAST complicit silence...
