Obama's whole message is that he is NOT a regular politician so to have his spiritual advisor of 20 years and the center of a media firestorm proclaim Obama is "just giving political answers" is b.a.d.

I think the simple answer is Wright and Obama differ on views regarding race. I haven't seen a lot of Wright outside of the radical snippets he's being flamed for but in them he comes across as a black activist. I don't get that impression of Obama. He appears to me to be more like Tiger Woods. You never hear Woods speak of race. Maybe it's because they're both of mixed race? Obama wasn't talking about race in the primary until it was thrown at him.
