And you have now been thrown under it:

Barack Obama angrily denounced his former pastor for “divisive and destructive” remarks on race, seeking to divorce himself from the incendiary speaker and a fury that threatens to engulf his front-running Democratic presidential campaign.

Actually it is more like Obama was driving the bus. I hope one strong message comes out of all this mess – religion and politics do not mix. I bet if we examined sermons given by preachers of any presidential candidate, we could find some really controversial stuff being said.
