Preacher Man

So I hear a LOT on the interwebz and Fox News (my wife makes me watch) about Rev. Wright and Obama and how Obama should denounce Wright. So ignoring for a moment that all of the sermon snippets that we've seen have amounted to about one minute of screen time and are taken out of context, ignoring the fact that however kooky the things he has said are he has a right to say them, ignoring the fact that I haven't heard him say anything outright heretical, ignoring the fact that as a Christian Obama is under no compulsion to correct his pastor publicly, ignoring the fact that whatever his pastor believes politically has no bearing on what Obama may believe politically, ignoring the fact that one doesn't necessarily leave a church just because of political differences, ignoring the fact that the man has been there twenty years and things may not have been ever thus, ignoring all of that doesn't really leave Obama with a problem. What say you?
