The comments that I've heard from Wright (and I'm sure there are other sound-bites I've missed) seem to me to be bang on about the corruption of the leadership in this country. So, I don't think he ought to be discounted so handily. Obviously, it's ridiculous to condemn Obama when no one's honestly examining the full meaning of some of these things that Wright has said. I think Obama would actually agree with some of Wright's criticisms, but he knows that the shallowness of media analysis and public policy is such that were he even to attempt to explain the meaning and pertinence of some of Wright's judgments, he would be instantly jeered off the stage before he got past quoting Wright.
