Clinton Says Wright Was Obama's Choice
In an interview with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review editorial board, Hillary Clinton weighed in on the controversy surrounding Barack Obama's former pastor and longtime friend Jeremiah Wright, saying, "he would not have been my pastor. … You don't choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend."
According to the paper, Clinton continued: "You know, I spoke out against Don Imus [who was fired from his radio and television shows after making racially insensitive remarks], saying that hate speech was unacceptable in any setting, and I believe that. … I just think you have to speak out against that. You certainly have to do that, if not explicitly, then implicitly by getting up and moving." (Thanks to CBS News political consultant Marc Ambinder for the tip).
