One Year ago.. Barack Obama dropped Jeremiah Wright, from his African American Religious Leadership Committee after controversial remarks he made surfaced about Aids and 9/11. Obama said at the time that he was still a member Wright's church of but decided to distance himself from remarks the mega-church pastor.Wright has suggested that the U.S. brought the 9/11 attacks on itself and accused the federal government of spreading the AIDS virus in the African-American community. Wright has since retired from the 8000-member Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
Obama was married at Trinity and his three daughters were baptized there. He gave $22,500 to the church in 2006 but says he was unaware of Wright's remarks until 2007.
