Pastor Manning said that Obama's "African-in-heat father went chasing after a trashy white woman and Obama was born in trash".
He also scolds blacks for embracing affirmative action because it's a law that says "blacks aren't as qualified as whites and they don't have to meet the same standards".

Obama's white cheerleaders will find themselves in a real dilemma. If they attack Obama's black critics then Obama will look like a house negro who plays on whites' sensibilities.
If they agree with Pastor Manning then how can they justify their support for the candidate?
A tell-it-like-it-is pastor from Harlem won't be so easily silenced with accusations of "trailer park heritage" or "Klan affiliations".
This could be highly entertaining if we can get them to "rise to the lure"!
Have you watched Obama's recent speech on race that addresses the Rev Jeremiah Wright's "distorted" statements? As a pastor of the Trinity church for 30 years, a church that has done a great deal of good works in the community, these statements are what he will be remembered for.

He cleverly never addressed which of Wright's statements he considers distorted, and the compliant MSM never asked him. His prepackaging continues......albeit seriously damaged.

Obama made it clear which statements he was referring to, although he did not repeat the sentences, if that's what you mean. From Obama's speech on race:
I have already condemned, in unequivocal terms, the statements of Reverend Wright that have caused such controversy. For some, nagging questions remain. Did I know him to be an occasionally fierce critic of American domestic and foreign policy? Of course. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes. Did I strongly disagree with many of his political views? Absolutely – just as I’m sure many of you have heard remarks from your pastors, priests, or rabbis with which you strongly disagreed.
But the remarks that have caused this recent firestorm weren’t simply controversial. They weren’t simply a religious leader’s effort to speak out against perceived injustice. Instead, they expressed a profoundly distorted view of this country – a view that sees white racism as endemic, and that elevates what is wrong with America above all that we know is right with America; a view that sees the conflicts in the Middle East as rooted primarily in the actions of stalwart allies like Israel, instead of emanating from the perverse and hateful ideologies of radical Islam.
As such, Reverend Wright’s comments were not only wrong but divisive, divisive at a time when we need unity; racially charged at a time when we need to come together to solve a set of monumental problems – two wars, a terrorist threat, a falling economy, a chronic health care crisis and potentially devastating climate change; problems that are neither black or white or Latino or Asian, but rather problems that confront us all.
