Obama looks like he's on the path to free himself from his controversial pastor.

Perhaps I've become too cynical during this long campaign, but doesn't it seem that all of this is too easy? Rev. Wright comes out and acts like a buffoon, giving Obama the chance to ditch him in a very public way, erasing any doubt if he held the same views. Could this be a set up, a gift by Wright to his friend?

Doubtful, but if Obama really does succeed, watch for the accusations to fly.
