One of Obama's spokesmen today said that Obama doesn't always agree with his FORMER pastor, and like a family member, they sometimes clash.

First, since when is Jeremiah Wright his FORMER pastor? Last I heard, Obama has been a member at Trinity for 20 years. Wright has been a formative effect on Obama for all that time, inspiring Obama's book "The Audacity of Hope" from a Wright sermon of the same name. Obama sought Wright out when searching for a church home, and after 20 years, if Obama were offended by Wright's racism and anti-Americanism, he has had 20 years in which to leave and find a more mainstream church. Obama didn't leave.

The more I hear of Jeremiah Wright, and the more I think about Obama staying there for 20 years, the more I understand Obama's refusing to wear a flag pin.

Exactly. If you, me, or any decent person joined a church and heard that kind of venom and hate coming from the pulpit, we wouldn’t stick around for even the next sermon let alone for twenty years!
