How so? Obama can pick his preacher, but cant pick his bigoted white grandma. I think Rev Wright continues to put Obama in a difficult position. If Obaba repudiates Wright, he is seen as disloyal and an Uncle Tom, and no one believes him anyway. If he sticks with Wright, he has to stand by some very problematic views-ie Israel responsible for 9/11, whites creating HIV to infect blacks, etc. Rev Wright reminds me of the British clerics who take advantage of the hospitality of the host country to preach anger and jihad against the host. If America is so evil, Rev Wright should move to a superior country like Zimbabwe.
