Actually it's not news. People have just forgotten some of the details swirling around when Wright first started his racist protests. Obama had candidly and proudly acknowledged Wright as his pastor a few times before certain statements were made by Wright. It was never a question of whether or not Obama had considered Wright to be a confidante and advisor.
Not taking up for the man, but this is just rehashing old news with a new spin. It's proof that if it's not in front of the people's eyes on the news paper, it's not something they worry about. This was hashed out, debated, ridiculed, poked at and "investigated" up one end and down the other during the last election.
