Some of the stuff here is getting ridiculous. O first went wrong by throwing Rev Wright under the bus? well, first he defended his relationship in a pretty decent speech - you may remember it? then, when Rev Wright showed himself to be all about him, he was cut loose.
It showed that Obama was five gallons of shit in a ten-gallon hat. He said in his speech that he could no more denounce Wright than he could his own grandmother. Then he did it. The logical conclusion: Obama is willing to throw his own grandmother over the side if he thinks it will help him politically.
Not that it matters: Speeches are hot air. DEEDS are what matters and Obama has done NOTHING different from Bush when it comes to torture, illegal wiretapping, gay rights and just about every other issue. And this is while he's still popular. If he doesn't have the nerve or desire to anything positive now, he never will.
