Obama claimed last Friday that "the statements that Rev. Wright made that are the cause of this controversy were not statements I personally heard him preach while I sat in the pews of Trinity." Obama then said on Tuesday that "Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes."
The comments he is referring to were from the now infamous YouTube videos of him about damning America and that the HIV virus was invented to wipe out blacks and so forth.
People are trying to say that Obama is lying because last week he said he had never heard such controversial statements from Wright before, and then said Tuesday he has heard controversial remarks from Wright before.
How is that lying? Those are just two different facts:
1) Obama has never heard Wright make statements like the ones in the YouTube Videos
2) Obama, however, has heard controversial things from Wright before.
Just because he heard the reverend make controversial statements, doesn’t mean those exact statements are the ones displayed in the YouTube videos. Obviously these videos represent the worst the pastor has said, considering why they’re viewed so much now.
Quit trying to nitpick...

I am the anti-shy! I say things exactly how I see them and it is impossible for me to sugar coat things. I have been called an a-hole on a regular basis the past 10 years or so. Keeping things brutally honest is the only route to go, in my opinion. So what's up? ;^)
