Rev. Wright Apologizes For Remarks About Jews

The Washington Post reports that Rev. Jeremiah Wright says he misspoke Wednesday (see prior posting) when he referred to "them Jews" who, he charged, blocked his access to President Barack Obama. He says he meant to refer to Zionists. He apologized, saying he meant no ill-will to the Obama administration or the American Jewish community. He says he is disturbed that his comments have resurfaced the debate about his relationship with the President.
