And really, is this guy (his preacher so horrible)? He said "God damn America" for treating its citizens as less than human. That fact that people are so shocked by it is 90% because they are not used to hearing a black preacher deliver an angry sermon.
This is typical of how the media deals with stuff. They take one shocking quote and put it on a loop for 48 hours without analyzing the context. Obama did exactly what the media didn't do, he put Wright's anger in context, he said he doesn't agree with it, especially the paranoid parts about AIDS, but those are feelings that a lot of the older generation that grew up with segregation still holds.
Even if you disagree with Obama, you have to admit he doesn't insult your intelligence. He took the issue head on rather than going for the easy cop out.
If this is how he deals with other issues, I have to say he will make a great president.
