Obama wrote about in his first book "Dreams from my Father" published in 1995. … Obama is trying to tell us that the hateful rhetoric his reverend is deploying now isn’t what he heard during his two decades in that reverend’s congregation. Yet it’s clear from this memoir that the Reverend Wright was saying the same things then as he’s saying now. Obama’s only trying to distance himself from Wright now because Wright has become politically inconvenient.....So, If you want to pretend that he never knew, then you can. Like I've said countless times, I don't think Obama shares all of the Reverends opinions, but he has show seriously bad judgment by his twenty year association. This is fair game in an election.
