Re “In His Own Words, Then and Now” (excerpts from Obama remarks, April 30):

When Senator Barack Obama made a nuanced attempt to distance himself from the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. in March, the senator had specific knowledge of the controversial remarks of his former pastor.

The chief intervening event between then and the senator’s clean break with Mr. Wright this week was the increase in controversy caused by Mr. Wright’s migration from video clips on Fox News to center stage in Washington.

Thus, Mr. Wright is correct in one respect: Senator Obama acted out of political expediency, not principle, in this matter.
