30. I believe that Obama was giving Wright the benefit of the doubt.....
but I believe that now was the time......because the divorce happened not based on snippets that we saw (which were made over time, 15 seconds here, and 10 seconds there), but based on Wright showing himself within the last couple of days in a manner that would make even his staunchest admirers cringe. I cringed, because I realized that in Wright's NAACP speech, he was emphasizing our differences, which is counter to Obama's view that we are more alike than we are different.

Stating that Different is not deficient is fine, as long as different doesn't become the entire premise. Yesterday, Rev. Wright has decided to further go in the direction of the different, and that message by itself cannot help to arrive at a more perfected union.
