You certainly do not hold him up as a standard unless you do.

He will also it appear do number 2, but that's not why he's been associated with them.
I tend to agree with you on Wright. The only way you can sit and listen to those sermons for 20+ years is if they resonate with your core beliefs.

I am not so sure about Obama's naivete or lack thereof. His willingness to sit down with our enemies without preconditions indicates naivete. His statements regarding Pakistan and OBL/Taliban also seem naive.
