senator barack obama political views
Do you agree with McCain that Obama’s pastor’s comments are “a legitimate political issue”?
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Senator John McCain delved on Sunday into remarks made by Senator Barack Obama’s former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., saying it was “beyond belief” that Mr. Wright had likened the Romans at the time of Jesus’ crucifixion to the Marines and had suggested that the United States was acting like Al Qaeda under a different color flag.
“So I can understand, I can understand why people are upset about this,” said Mr. McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for president. “I can understand why Americans, when viewing these kinds of comments, are angry and upset.”
“If he believes that,” Mr. McCain said, “then it will probably be a political issue.”

Considering that Obama has himself said it was a legitimate issue, why wouldn’t McCain?
