The funny thing is, I actually have little to no problem with the Wright quotes I've hard paraphrased. I've not watched any of the clips--hasn't seem relevant. Did see some of the stupid questions in the last debate.
For me, the fact that Obama has an ex-Weatherman-now-college-professor as a supporter, and a preacher who calls America on it's self-righteous BS are reasons to vote for the guy.
Come'n, is anything Wright said actually untrue? No. There is still racism, and the hangovers from racism and slavery, in our nation. There is a good argument to be made that the 9/11 attacks were due to US's foreign policy.
It pains me that Obama has to distance himself so completely from these folks, but I know it's political suicide not to.
But Clinton playing off it all? She's not getting any love from me.
