It doesn't excuse anything he's said against America but it does give reason for it. He's not making this stuff up out of the blue
You are correct; he has the right to say whatever he wants to say, and as you said it does not excuse what he said. Wrights views are simply that; his views. Just as my views are mine and your views are yours. The issue at hand is Obama's connection to Rev. Wright. I may be wrong, but I find it hard to believe that Obama did not know about Wrights views when he was his spiritual advisor. I wouldnt vote for Obama anyways based on a number of issues, but I believe that it is a big deal that a presidential candidates spiritual advisor has such view on America. Distancing yourself now after there has been a major backlash is sketchy to me. If you do not agree with his views and you are running for political office, why not distance yourself sooner? I really would like to know who the real Obama is. Maybe we will know by the end of this election.
Oh and...
There hasn't been a real Republican in the oval office since Reagan, period!
Reagan was actually a moderate on many issues, and not a hardline conservative, so some people might have differing views. Reagan was a Republican in the true sense of the party as far as supporting government deregulation and giving more power to the States. Hopefully, the Republican party will move in this direction again someday.
