Drudge Report has the transcript of Barack Obama’s speech, and it was just as weak as you thought it would be. Amazingly, Obama is sticking with the “cherry-picking” defense.

Here’s Barack Obama on June 5, 2007, at Hampton University, praising Rev. Jeremiah Wright in such an effusive way that it’s obvious they were personally very close.

Here’s Barack Obama’s appearance on Fox News, trying to explain his association with America-hating racist Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
