Few protestants will argue the point that the pastor is the church. When the pastor of a church that doesn't have a strict heirarchy says something, it's the church saying it. I've been there, I have experience with that sort of thing.
Nobody should then argue that the statements of Jerry Wright are the statements of Barry's church, to which he still belongs and which clearly has an anti-semitic position.
So why is Obama not being tied to his church instead of Wright? Obama didn't quit the church. He gave them $27,000 in 2006. He supports his church and as such he should be held accountable for his church's positions as his own.
