Democrat Barack Obama seemed to suggest in an interview Friday that his former pastor has acknowledged that his controversial remarks were inappropriate and hurtful. There are no public accounts of the minister having done so.
Obama discussed his relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright on ABC's ``The View,'' which was taped Thursday and aired Friday.
Obama spokesman Bill Burton said the senator's remarks did not imply that Wright has expressed misgivings about his statements. Wright officiated at Obama's wedding and his been his spiritual mentor for years.
He recently retired from the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
Wright became an issue in Obama's presidential bid in recent weeks when videos circulated of Wright condemning the U.S. government for allegedly racist and genocidal acts.
