This thing was orchestrated a long time ago. They're not making mistakes, just playing by the script.

Jeremiah Wright, who performed Obama's marriage and baptized both of his children, appears unremorseful about the fiery sermons that made their way on to YouTube and led to his ouster from an advisory committee the Obama campaign.

But Wright, long critical of the establishment Obama must embrace in his Oval Office bid, knew it was coming. He predicted as much in a New York Times interview more than a year ago, CNN reports.

"If Barack gets past the primary, he might have to publicly distance himself from me," Wright told the newspaper with a shrug in April 2007. "I said it to Barack personally, and he said, 'Yeah, that might have to happen.' "

Obama knew it was coming. The only thing he couldn't entirely gauge was the impact, which looks bad for him right now.

Wright seems like an adolescent bragging on the playground. Obama's former pastor doesn't care at all about Obama's presidential ambitions. Wright is helping Hillary right now, and he knows it.
