It almost seems like Wright is intentionally acting like an idiot to try and hurt Obama.
The whole issue should have blown over already, but for some reason it isn't.

It is true that Obama attended Wright's church for years. I suppose one can infer from that whatever one likes about Obama's political beliefs. On that note, I suppose it's about equally valid to infer that any republican friend of Billy Graham's is an anti-semite, or that any politician who has been friendly with Jerry Falwell also believes that 9/11 was God's punishment for the secularization of American society.
But Wright has never held an official position with the Obama campaign. Honestly, I agree that it's weird that this hasn't blown over. But obviously there's an interest in keeping it in the spotlight, for some reason. I personally think it's pretty silly.
