After offering lame excuses and dismissals of his pastor's rantings for all this time, Obama is now saying that he's outraged.

And he's going to speak about it.

Thinking like a politician, I think he's finally realized that the issue isn't going away and he needs to change position, especially considering that Rev. Wright isn't going away quietly.

The politics of the event are fierce. Did a Hilary supporter organize the event?

Or not?

Is Wright trying to damage Obama on purpose?

I say, Obama needed to distance himself from this man, but he needed a solid reason in order to not appear to be shifting in the political winds. The Reverend gives a defiant fire-brand speech and now Obama can distance himself from this 'outrage' and save face. May is going to be very entertaining.
