Rev. Wright Says Obama's 'Like My Child'
AMES, Iowa - The Rev. Jeremiah Wright says Barack Obama has made mistakes but is "like my child" and he says he'll always love the president.
The former pastor of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ spoke to around 400 people at the Methodist Federation for Social Action awards in Ames.
Saturday's ceremony honored those who helped immigrants or fought for the successful legalization of gay marriage in Iowa.
Wright says the award winners show that not all Americans are "stuck on stupid.
He also joked that when Obama was considering a presidential bid, he told Wright not to say anything that would upset Iowa farmers. Wright became a flashpoint in the presidential campaign when videos surfaced showing his sometimes provocative sermons.
Reverend Wright also said, "'Them Jews' won't allow him (Obama) to talk to me. But he will talk to me when he is a lame duck."
