Oh, it's quite real. As much as the media has failed to mention it and the Obama's wish to pretend it never happened. Rev. Wright was Barack HUSSEIN Obama's religious mentor up until about 2007, when the Hillary campaign started making a ruckus. Barack realized having a race pimp like the "good Reverend" wasn't as politically expedient as it was back in Chicago, and threw him under the bus.
HOWEVER, MAKE NO MISTAKE about it -- the "good Reverend" helped mold BHO into the man he is today.

Perhaps would be a good time to remind the MSM since they didn't think it was relevant during the campaign...
