20 years

That is all I have to say to the Obama defenders commenting in this post on Rev. Wright. Over 1300+ posts so far with many folks attempting to defend Obama

For 20 years Obama sat in the pews listening to this garbage. The man performed the marriage ceremony and baptized his children.

Yes, Obama can do everything in his power to distance himself from this character, but the damage is done. Americans know that Obama considered Rev. Wright to be a mentor. Obama even wrote a book titled after one of the Pastor's sermons.

After what the media stated was one of the greatest speeches of all times, Obama actually dug himself into the hole even further because he refused to distance himself from the pastor. Any attempt to distance himself now would just look like a pure political ploy.

Rev. Wright may have handed the presidency to John McCain.
