Footnotes from the Wiki article…

1^ a b c Obama’s Pastor: God Damn America, U.S. to Blame for 9/11 Brian Ross and Rehab el-Buri, ABC News, March 13, 2008

There might be an earlier statement from him but it probably took him a few days if not a week or so from the first report or Wrights statements to Obama’s condemnation. Campaigns are cautious about how they deal with this stuff. That’s how strategists, consultants and speech writers earn their pay. Mitt’s people are all sending memos and having meetings just like any other candidate deciding how best to deal with this.

Too bad you didn’t go look at footnote number four on that article:

4^ Johnson, Alex (2008-03-14). “Obama Strongly Denounces his ex-Pastor”. MSNBC. Retrieved 2008-04-28.

That’s the next day.
