but he denounced those comments that Rev. Wright made. I don't see why you think he's tied so closely to him? I was still attending St. Mary's when Father Carmel was lashing out at innocent parishoners and saying less than choice phrases.

Which people are you referring to in your second paragraph?
The reason Obama was and is associated with Wright is because he was a close friend of his. In a protestant church, that sort of closeness goes beyond the pulpit. And, if he did not agree with those statements, he should have left the church at that point--- Not when it became a campaign issue.
Anyway, as I said before, we are all entitled to our opinions.
