Wright said Monday that criticism surrounding his fiery sermons is an attack on the black church.
Obama told reporters Tuesday that Wright's comments do not accurately portray the perspective of the black church.
Obama said, "I am outraged by the comments that were made and saddened by the spectacle that we saw yesterday."
Wright's incendiary comments have dogged Obama's presidential campaign.
