Gigi-
The story of Obama's pastor has been waiting in the wings for months. You're certainly not surprised, or shouldn't be. Obama has had a close relationship with this pastor for over 20 years but now he certainly appears to be a loose cannon by any definition. Obama is distancing himself and it's probably better that he does so now than later.
At some level, this is an interesting exercise to watch. At another level it's quite painful. We've all had mentors who've gone off the deep end (well, maybe not all of us but I certainly have). Rev. Wright is right out there now for all to see.
The Republicans will rake this video up in their fall ads,you can bet.
