I must say that I agree that Wright is on point with some of the things he says (a lot of what he says to be truthful), but as a mentor and a leader and a man of God he should understand that there is a time and a place for everything. He should also be aware that what he says and does not only reflects on him, but on Obama and all black people for that matter. I really regret that some black people still forget that when they open their mouthes and when they act out they do not only rep themselves they rep everything associated with them. Rev. Wright knows the effects of what he said and how the media portrayed him. I've corresponded with him and he has said how it has weighed on him. So my thing is if you know your actions could cause Obama to lose support then shut up for the time being. After he's president then run your mouth. Im cool with people taking advantage of opportunity. Im against it when it is to the detriment of others. There have been plenty of times when groups or individuals could have spoken out and felt a need to speak out but decided not to because it was in the best interest of those that they support to remain a quiet dissenter.

You havent spoken anything but the truth, but I have to say that they want him now, but the more Wright says the less some of Them want him. In my opinion they should never be given a reson to doubt Obama and wright seems to be giving them plenty.
