Rev. Wright Rehashed: Blessing in Disguise for Obama?

Rev. Wright's appearances at the NAACP and the Press Club brought a lot of unnecessary attention to a subject Obama has been struggling to silence for nearly two months. Rev. Wright fully reserved the right to go public and explain himself. But, the Reverend showed no respect for Obama's candidacy in his approach to either speech. The last two days were a nightmare for the Obama campaign.

However, Rev. Wright's disregard for Obama's candidacy may have been a blessing in disguise. In a last surprise press conference, Sen. Obama was able to create the significant distance between himself and Wright. As far as any outsider can tell, the two man are at odds right now and the tension just might be beneficial to Obama in the end.

Watch the press conference here:
