I honestly don't get this. Obama is not Rev. Wright. He doesn't claim any of Wright's ideas as his own. He isn't talking about appointing the guy to a government post.
My mentor in my career is a homophobic, close-minded bigot. He's disrespectful towards women and has been sued more than once for sexual harassment. Politically he and I have nothing in common. Yet he's the reason I'm still working for my company despite some overly generous offers to go elsewhere.
