Except that he was in that church for 20 years, admitted he heard incendiary commentary before, but only now decided to make a "honest" speech. Why now??

Just like he decided only now to release more of his Rezko papers. Why now?

Because he knows all this will come back and bite him in the ass.

And because it fits with his strategy of the week to show that Clinton sold her soul and will never stop screwing the country until someone drives a stake through her heart.

He is a politician like everyone else, not an inch better. He has dirty secrets just like everyone else.

The only difference is that he just knows how to schmooze the electorate tired of George Bush.
