As a politician, his decision to stay in that church makes no sense. How did he think this wouldn't blow up in his face? I guess he hasn't been paying attention to American politics for his entire adult life.

And it's not like his, "I couldn't quit him, he's my buddy", nonsense is going to fly. He's on record stating how he wants to protect his daughters from bigotry when Imus put his foot in his mouth. Really? Why have them attend that church for their entire lives then? It just doesn't add up.

He's really between a rock and a hard place. Either he buys into that tripe, and if he does he's done, or he lacked the courage to stand up and leave, which doesn't give me a warm fuzzy about his ability to lead anything. Personally, I think it's the former. His wife has said some questionable things, both recently and in her past (school records), in regards to her view of America. Combine that with him allowing his children to come up in that church, and I get the sense that he's A-OK with what Wright said (if you got him to be honest).
