Obama "doesn't appear to me to be hypocritical or disingenuous," Lusk said. "He's just another parishioner who struggles with what happens in his church, what the pastor says and all the other intangibles."


Obama really wasn't just "another parishioner" though. They were closer than that & Obama didn't struggle with the things Wright said till it looked like it would hurt his campaign. Then it was time to throw Wright under the bus. And I'm guessing there is alot of room for more under that bus.

Fair play!
