As for the rest, Obama is the one who placed Wright as his most significant mentor.

I don't recall him saying "significant", but the effect is much the same. However the term most often used is "spiritual advisor."
Quote:
(2007)Obama says that rather than advising him on strategy, Wright helps keep his priorities straight and his moral compass calibrated.
“What I value most about Pastor Wright is not his day-to-day political advice,” Obama said. “He’s much more of a sounding board for me to make sure that I am speaking as truthfully about what I believe as possible and that I’m not losing myself in some of the hype and hoopla and stress that’s involved in national politics.”
