Hypocritical Americans
I applaud Obama for taking on this issue.
For some of the posters who claim that Obama should leave his church, because Wright is a "racist", why should he?
Can't people accept contradictions in life, that people are complex, and full of the seeds of both hate and love? Actually, I find Obama's actions more Christian than any of the so-called white evangelicals on the airwaves because he chooses to acknowledge the imperfections in people and forgive them. Isn't this what Jesus preached? I'm happy he hasn't thrown Wright under the bus, as did, say, Mitt Romney with the Senator Craig scandal.
Most Americans claim to be Christian but I see little evidence of a willingness to live or think the true teachings of Christ. Kudos to Obama.
