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.

I believe it's going to destroy his race, but when I brought this up a couple weeks ago I was told it was so last years news, not an issue and I was racist for being upset over it.
