It appears that Barack Obama has just said that if Reverend Wright had not retired, he would have left the church.

Stupid move. Barack Obama just bitch slapped himself in an effort to separate himself from the man who married him and baptized his daughters.

This is wrong, we can disagree with people we love, and it’s stupid, because it plays right into Josh Marshall’s Bitch Slap Theory of Politics, where by not defending themselves, and in this case people who are near family, they make voters wonder if they will stand up for them.

This is stupid. It makes him look weak, and folks that he is reaching out to will never vote for a black man.
