a) Wright is his own man, not Obama’s trained monkey that Obama can order around;

b) Wright has the right of freedom of speech in America today-which means the freedom to hold and express impolitic opinions.

Both Obama AND Wright have said that wright doesn’t speak for Obama. What could be clearer than that?

What’s astonishing to me is that the press had swallowed whole the right wing meme that Wright is Obama’s surrogate and that Obama should be held responsible for Wright’s opinions. When did either Wright or Obama ever say this?
