Obama is now running from Jeremiah Wright. I have to say that Jeremiad Wright is a good preacher. I also have to say that I find nothing particularly troubling in his sermons from a theological perspective. As for his apparent subscription to HIV conspiracy theories, I am perplexed. As for various associations (or alleged associations) with controversial groups and individuals, I say perhaps he lacks good judgment.
But when I see his preaching held up as a political liability for Obama, I am saddened. And when I see Obama running away from his pastor for saying such things, I descend into a deeper level of cynicism about politics than ever before.
