“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?”

Indeed, Stonetools, you’re right about that, but you miss the point entirely. What this shows is that Obama is an atrocious judge of character to have this racist hustler as his pastor for twenty years. Oprah, at least, got out eight years ago. Now Barack is going to have to live that. Too bad for him – and for us. Because racist scum like Wright ruin the possibility of racial healing in this country just as much as the KKK.
