NEW YORK (CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama is moving away from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright so fast he may claim to be an atheist by next weekend. The ongoing sprint from such a polarizing figure is far from a surprise, it's just the timing of it that is so odd.
A New York Times editorial described the recent developments like this:
"In the last few days, in a series of shocking appearances, he [Wright] embraced the Rev. Louis Farrakhan's anti-Semitism. He said the government manufactured the AIDS virus to kill blacks. He suggested that America was guilty of "terrorism" and so had brought the 9/11 attacks on itself."
Shocking? Every one of these opinions of Wright has been part of the public record for months. It's no more shocking than Angelina Jolie coming out in favor of adoption.
Even in the schizophrenic world of politics, it's unclear how to accomplish the mental gymnastics required to make sense of all of this. The media's love affair with Obama makes them ask us to believe that Obama was courageous for defending Wright in his Philadelphia speech on race and also courageous for throwing him under the bus six weeks later for the exact same opinions.

Agreed. A Rep would never get away with that.
The only thing he moved away from faster was his white grandmother. He threw her under the bus long ago.
a no-brainer that Obama would hang around Trinity for twenty years and get pastorized by some loser racist Farrakhan wannabe tantalizingly echoing back Obama’s loathing of his mother’s race, and rolling up ‘black authenticity’ street creds for himself while at it.
But when the inevitable ‘Obama the Muslim’ stories got planted by the Clintons, Obozo rolls out ol’ pastor Jeremiah to ‘reassure’ ‘whitey’, but it’s a heckuva hapless maneuver when your ‘mentor’ and ‘sounding board’ sounds more like Ayman al-Zawahiri than Billy Graham.

BTW, in the piece, the author refers to Obama's appeal among he and his ilk as because Obama is a "metrosexual" Wow!!!..That term of art has disappeared of late..and this is the first time I've seen it used to describe Obama..It's true..it's a perfect description...and explains why the voters are running away from him, and his poll numbers are dropping..
"To the last, I will grapple with thee. From hell's heart, I stab at thee. For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee!"
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY AND OBAMA'S CHURCH
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - OBAMA'S CIRCLE OF FRIENDS AND SUPPORT
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
LOL!
If only Obama’s pastor had been Cab Calloway!
rotflol
In fact, a Rasmussen poll found that only 36% of Democrats believe that Obama disowned Wright because of genuine outrage over his views.
The mediots can sell this crap all day long if they want to. But America isn't buying it.
he did that because he knows he will never get the old woman, racist vote. Hillary has that all sewn up.
Has anyone asked Obama about his favorite passage of scripture or which stories from the Bible resonate best with him? Which ones convict him? With which ones he struggles? What about his baptism and public profession of faith? Moreover, which ministries of the church have he and Michelle been most involved in? What positions of leadership has he held in the church over the past 20 years?
Surely, a man with leadership gifts capable of being POTUS would have held high positions in his church?
ROFL!!!!!
BO dodges his baptism questions.
LOL! I love it...
