What interests me is why people are starting to make a ruckus about this right now. It's not as if Obama's association with Wright was some big dark secret that has only just surfaced - and people who were in the know, ie. politics buffs and journalists and the like, were well aware that this guy's a bit of a loose cannon, and could prove to be Obama's biggest achilles heel. So why now? All of a sudden? The timing's a little odd.
As someone who's a bit cut off from the pulse of the American media myself, I have to second this comment...what happened to make this a big story (people had been mentioning this for weeks on this site before it apparently exploded), and is it really that big of a story once you leave the Internet?
