We all heard about Rev Wright's racist comments all over the TV. Obama has condemned Rev Wright's comments.
He still has not distanced himself, making the uncle argument. If that is the only spin the Obama machine can come up with then they must be in trouble!!
Surprising that the press has not picked up on the anti semitic comments of Louis Farrakhan and the association of Rev Wright to Farrakhan.
Here was story from the Washington Post that talked about this.
'In January, Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen penned a now-infamous piece entitled “Barack Obama’s Farrakhan Test.” In it, he questioned the Democratic presidential candidate’s relationship with his minister of some 20 years, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
At the time, the worst of Wright’s extremist sentiments were not on the public record. Cohen voiced concern that a magazine produced by Trinity had bestowed Louis Farrakhan with an award and praised the racist and anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader for “truly epitomiz[ing] greatness.” '

I'm always entertained by public displays of zero-sum pious sanctimony as offered by individuals (not you Noel) who demand that Senator Obama disavow his former pastor.
Rev.W. is a product of his community and experience, for good and bad. The only bad judgment Senator Obama would be guilty of would have been letting Rev.W's words go unexplained if his kids heard them.
