Hello, 240 who has a silly conspiracy that Brix has a conspiracy. 
I don't know that the Obama/Wright thing is a conspiracy but a public feud is a great way to detatch your self from a person's baggage.
But like said, it's probably not.
It's an interesting thing to consider though.
Obama was getting worked on fox news all day long, 2 months after the Rev story. Was it excessive? Obviously. It wasn't a NEW story, but it was their lead story every day.
He needed an 'event' in order to be able to distance himself. He couldn't just come out one day and say "I suddenly dislike the rev". He needed the rev to go public again, so it'd be a NEWS story and obama could respond to it.
If it was a ploy, it worked brilliantly. Even FOX news, whose female reporters still say Obama's name with a condescending sneer, have to say those word "the rev, who Obama has now condemned"... And obama's speech contained 8 or 10 different condemnation phrases... he said it all. It will take away a lot of the rev sting, although some voters (the coach) will still use it as their reason for voting for a pro-war-for-oil guy even though it contradicts 'thou shalt not steal/kill".
