I believe he did know. That was made pretty obvious by his waffling on it so many times. I think he used that church for political purposes all along and then it became clear that it was no longer a stepping stone but a hindrance to his campaign so he finally cut his ties publicly. I just think that he finally did what he should have done when the tirades were first made in church, stand up against the anti-american and racist comments.


>>I watched the interviews with Reverend Wright (over the past couple of weeks) and I was dissappointed in what he had to say. I watched his entire sermon and I agree that some of the quotes publicized in the past were taken out of context, but in context they were still highly inflammatory and IMHO, very anti-american and racist. I don't doubt that Obama was even more dissappointed. I don't know if his full sermons are still available, but you could download them from the church's website (warning they are 1.5 hours long). I was surprised that Obama didn't fire off a response then as Reverend Wright inferred that Obama knew full well what he was preaching all those years and Obama took a political stance to separate himself from Wright. I think Obama did the right thing responding as he did right now. To some he may be throwing the Reverend under the bus, but in my view, he is taking a stance that he should have taken long ago.

>If you think Obama didn't know about his reverends insanity, why did he disinvite him to his kickoff?
