Barack Obama actually said...

I cannot prevent him from continuing to make these outrageous remarks. But what I do want him to be very clear about, as well as all of you ...

I have known Reverend Wright for almost 20 years. The person I saw yesterday was not the person that I met 20 years ago.

I am outraged by the comments that were made and saddened over the spectacle that we saw yesterday.

And, so, you want to know who I am? You want to know what's in me? It's a love for this country that made my life possible.
