It is a game for half-smart adolescent minds who think it shows how clever they are. It does precisely the opposite.

Bigfella, you just try to keep changing the subject to something else.
So far an entire news cycle has been dedicated to this. Highly unusually, Obama appeared on all the major news channels LIVE to explain what the hell was going on, after he mostly closed himself off to the media. So it IS a worthy topic of debate. If you want to sidetrack or have another discussion, start it somewhere else.
He's even taken the opportunity to admit that Rezko played a much larger role in his earlier campaigns than previously thought, probably to hope that he could bury that bad news under this bad news.
The question here isn't if Obama believes the same things his pastor does (guilt by association), but rather what did he know and when did he know it, as well as his judgment.
