My father said pretty much the exact same thing when he read my post. He said Senator Obama went “too political” and should just be “real” with everyone on this issue. Very interesting.

I 'm SO upset that I wasn't able to participate more in this discussion yesterday (was extremely busy). Their has been so many great comments that you all deserve a round of applause!

Pacatrue,
Thanks for the hat/tip. I've been thinking this over the last few days and I feel increasingly that Obama's relationship with Wright is not troubling at all. I say this because I've researched Wright and TUCC more and I've come to the conclusion that the church is the home of THE black establishment in Chicago and not some radical nutjob haven. Should we question Michael Jordan, Oprah Winfrey and Tiger Woods' judgment for going to this church and, presumably, listening to this man? I bet Jordan met closely with Wright when Jordan's father was murdered. Is Jordan now some bigot – or at least a man with terrible judgment – because of this?

Also, the UCC is a mostly white denomination, but TUCC is THE flagship church. Rev. Wright has helped mostly white congregations get off their feet throughout the country, including especially in the Midwest. Wright is not defined solely by those sermons on display. And Obama shouldn't be defined by association with a pastor who gives them.
