Thanks for bringing this up. It has hit a nerve and I think many are reluctant to address.

By his own consistent and volatile rhetoric, Jeremiah Wright has proven himself to be nothing less than an unapologetic racist. For Obama to attend his church for twenty years, to have a close friendship with him, be married by him, have his children baptized by him, claim his example to be the inspiration for a book and much of his life philosophy, and to serve as an adviser to his presidential campaign, I think it's highly reasonable to consider who the real Obama is. Are Obama's core beliefs actually closer to that of Rev. Wright's?

This is the only response Obama gave on TV yesterday: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,256078,00.html#
His performance was less than strong, let alone presidential.

Rev. Wright has left the Obama campaign. This was the right move, but looks highly suspect and should have happened long ago when this was first brought up in 2007. I believe this will be a serious (but temporary) setback for the Obama campaign.
