Clinton's Jeremiah Wright Problem

Seems Barack Obama isn't the only candidate with a Jeremiah Wright problem.

The Politico (and the NY Times) is reporting that Obama's fire-breathing pastor had a meet-and-greet with Bill Clinton at the White House back in 1998. It's the date people would probably remember more for Clinton's mea culpa for the Monica Lewinsky scandal: "I don't think there is a fancy way to say that I have sinned."

I doubt this will cause a problem for Hillary the way it has for Clinton, but it's interesting to see that no one in this fight has a totally clean set of hands.
