The Maverick Tribe

Obama has just held a press conference essentially divorcing himself from his mocking, narcissistic, self-parody of a pastor.  This event is layered with relief and sadness for me.  Relief obviously, as there is no love lost between the vast majority of Obama supporters - including me - and Rev. Wright.  But sadness because, in terms of the personal relationship between Obama and Wright, there is obviously a lot of love lost.  The guy inspired the title of The Audacity of Hope, for crying out loud.

We now know that Wright does not take attacks on him lying down.  As such, Barack Obama is now running a presidential campaign against three direct opponents:  McCain, Hillary Clinton, and now Jeremiah Wright.
