Personally, I believe Rev Wright statements reflect on Obama, no matter how much he denounces them now. He was his pastor for over 20 years, he presided over his wedding, and the baptism of his daughters. I can tell you that I am close to 2 Rabbi's and I go to them for advice, thoughts, and they helped make me who I am today. I hope that some of their thoughts and belief have somehow trickled in my thick head at least a drop if not more.
To me religion is a way of life, it is what makes you who you are, what helps shape your morals, and who you go to and learn these from reflect on the type of person you are. Will it affect my vote, nope I am voting elsewhere, but do I think that someone of this close intimate nature with him is a valid point even now after he denounced him, absolutely.
