From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“In United States politics, a Sister Souljah moment is a politician’s public repudiation of an allegedly extremist person or group, statement, or position perceived to have some association with the politician or their party. Such an act of repudiation is designed to signal to centrist voters that the politician is not beholden to traditional, and sometimes unpopular, interest groups associated with the party, although such a repudiation runs the risk of alienating some of the politician’s allies and the party’s base voters.”

Yep, Sister Souljah moment for sure. But, too late. Where was Obama for the last 20 years. He gave the “church” over 20,000 last year. Now he simply looks like a pandering politician who is throwing Wright under the bus for expediency's sake. Too late.
