Because he didn’t walk out of Wright’s church. He said this to Jews who were concerned that Obama stayed in an anti-Semitic church for 20 years:(via)BTW, Obama knew that Wright was a racist after he heard Wright preach the first time:

Barack Obama quoting the first sermon he ever heard Rev Wright preach, “The Audacity of Hope”:”It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere… That’s the world! On which hope sits!” Pg 293

It didn’t take political courage to walk out then, did it?(via)Update: Wow! The Nadler quote gets much worse (video at the link):

We have not been willing to put our priorities properly. We have not been willing to say … “Hey Russia, we won’t expand NATO into the Ukraine and Georgia, right next to your borders, if you cooperate with us on Iran.” … I think Iran and Israel are a hell of a lot more important than expanding NATO to Russia’s borders. Why should we? What do we need it for? Someone in the crowd says: “Because they invaded Georgia.”Nadler retorts: “So let ’em invade Georgia. It’s right next to them. Would we tolerate a foreign–a Russian army in Mexico? Which is more important to us Georgia or Israel, frankly?”Another voice in the crowd asks Nadler: “What is more important to us Czechoslovakia or Austria?””That’s a completely separate kind of question,” Nadler replies.
