"I'm still wondering why Obama never denounced Wright all these 20 or so years, and waited until now, when he's virtually forced to."
Because he doesn't really denounce him?
Just wondering out loud.
I thought he did, in essence, in his speech yesterday. That kind of denouncement.

Well, his words yesterday could definitely be interpreted that way.
20 years of continuous and intimate interaction could be interpreted another way.
I don't quite get the whole thing. It sure raises questions, though.
I said it in another thread - We're only aware of Wright's speech because of Obama's campaign for president. From what I read, Wright has been preaching this line for a long, LONG, time. For the last 20 years that line has apparently been just fine with Obama. Only now, when it become politically imprudent to be attached to this vitriole, does he condemn it.
I don't want him anywhere near the White House.
