Boy did Reverend Wright call it correctly the other day.

Compare Obama's statements today with what he said in the past. What has he learned about Wright in the last eight weeks that he did not know previously? Obama indicated he had heard Wright say objectionable things about the United States, but he could shrug it off during his Philly speech. I think we are seeing the emergence of a new illness–Obama Acquired Memory Loss (which is LMAO spelled backwards). He spent twenty years with Wright but really did not know that he held such objectionable views?
..Like the gendarme in Casablanca poor Senator Obama is shocked, shocked I tell you, by the outrageous things Wright said yesterday. You have got to be kidding me? Wright said worse, on video tape, on multiple occasions and Barack had no trouble ignoring those. So what did he say yesterday that Barack found so damn objectionable? How does this reconcile with Barack's previous statements?

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Wright said nothing at the National Press Club that he has not been saying for many years, yet only now is Obama peed about it. Not believable.

I assume you have proof Obama heard this stuff on a regular basis? Didn't think so.

What are you suggesting? That he was wearing earplugs all the time? Please, don't insult anyone's intelligence; of course Obama heard it. He could not have missed it. He needed the church as a political base; Obama needed Wright.
Now he needs people to believe he does not agree with Wright without picking up on the sleazy way he stayed in the church for the political base. Are we really not paying attention?

Hey Erig, I think you missed the point of Christian's comment/question. The question was whether this is what he regularly heard. Those who have scrutinized Wright's talks--I've listened to the "worst" excerpts--don't seem to find anything as inflammatory as the initial clauses that got all this going. Christian's suggestion, I assume, is that you have no proof that Obama heard this stuff regularly in church--or even that often.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody wants to admit they heard it; did it make a sound?
It strains credibility to believe that Obama never heard this stuff; that he didn't pay attention to it? With children in attendance? That he thought it was proper? That he now thinks it wasn't?
Even Oprah admits that she quit that church over the sermons; of course Obama heard it; there's no challenging that.
The real issue is not whether he rejects it now; but why he didn't reject it then; a character issue with Obama; not Wright, not guilt by association. His politically opportune throwing of Wright under the bus, now; again goes to character - this is the "new politics" he promised?
