The Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr., whose sermons have created firestorm of controversy, is no longer formally tied to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's campaign, an Obama spokesman said late on March 14,2008.The move follows calls for Obama to sever connections to Wright after news outlets began airing some of the pastor's past sermons.

I feel that Obama did the right thing, he did not end his friendship but he had to cut his political ties with Wright or it would really hinder his chances of running for President.
