Just another case of Wright running off at the mouth without thinking.

It's far more likely that Obama distancing himself from Wright is what's phony here.

I agree with you on that Satyr....Obama was really late making a denouncement on Wright. Seems it was done just to appease the public

Obama might of felt compelled to act because of this statement by Wright.

"If Senator Obama did not say what he said, he would never get elected," Wright said. "Politicians say what they say and do what they do based on electability, based on sound bites, based on polls."

Sounds to me Wright is saying that Obama is lying about who he is to the public to get elected.

I believe Obama got backed into a corner and had to respond based on that statement. The others were water under the bridge blow em off statements but that one was new stuff that had to be dealt with.

Obama still belongs to the Trinity church.

"While Obama said he remains a member of the church "obviously this has put a strain on that relationship."

And this statement from an AP article

"And perhaps even worse for Obama, Wright suggested that the church congregant secretly concurs."
