SEN. BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I think the caricature that's being painted of him is not accurate.

HUME: Barack Obama talking today about his now famous minister, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who is now the retiring pastor of Obama's church. There you see him there with Reverend Wright, the man he says brought him to Christ and with whom he has had a relationship for some 20 years, but whose most incendiary rhetoric Obama said he never heard, at least not in church.
