Obama was more personally insulted than outraged by Wright's views.

Wright on Moyers Show: "He's a politician, I'm a pastor. We speak to two different audiences. And he says what he has to say as a politician."

OBAMA, today: "And what I think particularly angered me was his suggestion somehow that my previous denunciation of his remarks were somehow political posturing...

I want to use this press conference to make people absolutely clear that obviously whatever relationship I had with Reverend Wright has changed as a consequence of this. I don't think that he showed much concern for me...

But at a certain point, if what somebody says contradicts what you believe so fundamentally, and then he questions whether or not you believe it in front of the National Press Club, then that's enough. That's — that's a show of disrespect to me..."

The appropriately poll tested response -- the chameleon adjusting his camouflage.

So far, he has thrown Granny and Wright under the bus to appease his callous ambition.

He has Ayers, Michelle to go.

Then there's Rezko, Mayor Daley, Governor Blagojevich, Auchi, I'm sure I left a few people out here.
