I've been supporting Obama all along, and still (so far) view him as the best alternative, but I'm very disappointed and concerned about what we've recently learned about his pastor.

I would have thought he was a smart enough politician to disassociate himself from such a divisive personality. Chicago is a big city; I'm sure there are many other parishes to which he could have redirected his allegiance, perhaps even within the UCC denomination, whose leadership would have better represented his true spiritual values ~ assuming (as we'd all like to believe) that Rev. Wright does not.
