It doesn't, AG?
I suppose when one grasps at straws to discredit any Dem/liberal (see your recent post on K. Olbermann's scandalous tax debt of $2,000-plus), this seems a monumental breach of...but what exactly?
Now...O's decision comes in light of an ever widening breach (to use that word again), in fact, rupture, between himself and Wright.
Pfleger has added fuel to the fire. It's hard to image that O. or any pol in his position would not attempt to definitively remove himself from the church's sphere.
It's realpolitik. It's common sense. It's morally appropriate.
The potential problem is that an issue that had faded such that it no longer assumed bogeyman proportions will be (temporarily, one hopes) revived.

Re AG, above:
political expedience
political expedience
political expedience...
....something Mr. McCain has never been guilty of, right? May we discuss his connections with lobbyists near and far?
But O. is morally tainted beyond all for belonging to a church from which he has disassociated himself.
Whereas McCain...well, what is he?

So he didn't stay for 20 years because of some moral conviction not to desert his church, he stayed because he wanted to.

All politicians are guilty of political expedience.
All.
The issue is the degree and nature of the compromise.

Poulenc-I don't buy it. Up until today he was defending them, then suddenly he drops them. That's bull. He has given speeches about his pastor and his church, he never said anything about it. He turned on his pastor only because of political pressure and now he turned on his church too. Guy has no class.

I don't care that he quit, now. I would have been more impressed had he quit before it was a political issue. As one of the talking heads speculated, I wouldn't be surprised if the superdelegates made it a condition of their support.
Yep, just like those old-time martyrs -- stick with what you believe regardless of the consequences.
