Obama Supporter Says Barack Doesn't Have "Political Courage"

At a recent event New York Democratic Congressman Jerrold Nadler is asked how Barack Obama could sit in Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s church for 500 Sundays listing to the anti-semitic, anti-American diatribes.  According to the tape Nadler say:

"My guess is knowing how politics works, this is not going to be complimentary to Senator Obama. Think of the history here. You have a guy who's half-white, half-black. He goes to an Ivy League school, comes to Chicago ... to start a political career. Doesn't know anybody. Gets involved with community organizing -- why? Because that's how you form a base. OK. Joins the largest church in the neighborhood. About 8,000 members. ... Why did he join the church? ... Because that's how you get to know people. Now maybe it takes a couple years, 'Jesus, the guy's a nut, the guy's a lunatic.' But you don’t walk out of a church with 8,000 members in your district. He didn’t have the political courage to make a statement and walk out."
