Obama was either an opportunist or a fool; or perhaps a combination of the two. Or maybe he's just giving us politician speak like Wright has suggested.

You are splitting hairs if you are going to make that argument. Are you aware of what Hagee has said? McCain certainly is (he has discussed the matter publicly already). McCain didn't disavow his endorsement, though. And he has continued to make appearances with Hagee. McCain is using Hagee for political support. Obama used Wright for religious support and disavowed his political support. If you are going to jump on Obama for a lack of judgement (your only contrived argument left with the Wright story since it is clear Obama doesn't share Wright's views), you will have to throw McCain under the bus too (which I know you won't do).
And, by the way, the fact that few people talk about this doesn't somehow mean it isn't right.
